Do You Nap?

[JimW]

My wife and I live for our afternoon naps on the weekends 1.5-2 hrs does me well. We can't wait to retire so we can nap everyday.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Nope. I don't like to "nap" in the day. First, it isn't "napping". When I 'nap', I'm in a deep sleep, I'm comatose- down for the count. It's hard waking up from that. Then when it's time to go to bed, I'm just so damn wide awake. I'm so awake, I want to clean closets. Then I can't fall asleep, so I drag myself around the next day.

A cat nap is the best ... short and energy boosting

 

[MeAgain]

No but I probably need to to. I hear it is good for you to nap.

 

[Sunny]

Yes, pretty much every day after lunch.

 

[applecruncher]

Yes. I didn't nap yesterday and got sleepy at 9pm. Very rare for me since I'm a night owl.

I was never a 'nap ' person until I had my knee surgery 15 yrs ,was off work for 3 months in summer '04
I got into the habit of taking a short nap{10-20 min after lunch} before I took my last walk of the day.I feel more refreshed for the afternoon
This has become part of my daily ritual.There are some days when I'm not home to have the nap, I become cranky,tired like applecruncher in the evening Sue

I don't nap every day, about five afternoons a week.
Short three hour, sock it to 'em power naps.

I have sleep maintenance problems at night, and so am inclined to steal an afternoon nap when I can. Sleep in many people tends to become more fragmented as you get older.

Some days I do... All depends on the sleep the night before, or what I am doing, Yesterday I had a nap because of a sugar high...

I understand that! I often wake up during my night sleep.

 

[Llynn]

I enjoy my afternoon naps.

 

[Linda]

Yes, I take a nap almost every day.

 

[AZ Jim]

Yep, it's an escape...

 

[Vega_Lyra]

I would love to, but I am too busy......

 

[RadishRose]

No, I have napped accidentally, and got up feeling lousy and cranky.
