Do You Take Naps?

[moviequeen1]

I never was a' nap person' until I had my partial right knee surgery in 2004. I was off work for 3 months in the summer which was great. I started a routine of taking a nap after lunch anywhere from 10-15min.I still take one every day,wake up feeling more refreshed.
What about you? Sue

 

[Camper6]

Yes I take naps but not on purpose. I'm reading or on my laptop and then suddenly, lights out.

I'm wishing that's how it's going to finally happen.

 

[Ken N Tx]

Yes

 

[Toomuchstuff]

I just fell alseep on the couch! It's raining ,dreary,windy ... it was the perfect day to nap.

 

[applecruncher]

Yes, I sometimes lay down and nod off for 30-45 min. I usually feel refreshed when I wake up, but if it's a long nap I feel groggy.

 

[C'est Moi]

Nope. For some reason naps make me feel awful; I wake up all groggy and mad.

 

[tortiecat]

Yes - for about an hour after lunch.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Every afternoon!!!

 

[AprilSun]

No, I feel like taking a nap but each time I took one, I couldn't sleep at night so I quit taking them.

 

[Falcon]

I try, but I just can't get to sleep during the day time.

 

[treeguy64]

I take a nap after lunch, with my dog, Max. We lay down on the couch and snooze for about an hour and a half. I usually wake up feeling great, sometimes a little groggy. I normally sleep five to six hours, at night. My total sleep time, per twenty-four hour period, sits at seven.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I did all the time until a few years back and now I just lay there and can't seem to sleep. I wish I could because I fall asleep in my recliner after dinner and I'd much rather say awake at that time. If I was living alone I'd just go with the flow but the hubby wouldn't appreciate me vacuuming at 3AM.

 

[jujube]

Oh, yes! Love my naps. That was one of the things I was looking forward to in retirement......naps whenever, wherever and as long as I desired.

 

[TonyK]

I'll take one every now and then. My problem is I'm groggy and not very clear headed after I wake up. A couple of times I woke up, showered, shaved, and got dressed for work. Then it occurred to me that it was 7 pm, and not 7 am.

My wife probably thought I was going out on a hot date.

 

[RadishRose]

Nope. For some reason naps make me feel awful; I wake up all groggy and mad.

Yes C'est Moi, me too! Cranky, and confused.

 

[IKE]

Normally after lunch for about one hour.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I can't remember the last time I took a nap. Like C'est Moi and Rose, I always felt bad after waking up from one, even years ago when I felt sickly, I found it hard to sleep during the daytime.

No

naps take me

to the most serene places this universe has to offer
and
at no cost to me


wrote sumpm about this once;

Naps

Are so underrated
Ratchet back the ol’ lazy boy
Sweetly drifting off of an early afternoon
Conscious of becoming unconscious
Fading....fading....fading
Snarking yerself suddenly awake from collapsed throat emanations,
only to start the process all over again....fading....fading

...and

...gone

REM red lining

30..45 minutes later you awaken
You don’t even know what part of the day it is
But yer fresh
You go outside or to the shop, ready to bang out a project

Or,

you could fight off the nap
Slug thru the day

But

Why?

 

[Keesha]

Yes! Sometimes naps are great! It’s one of those simple life pleasures.

 

[CindyLouWho]

No, I would get fired from my job

 

[MarkinPhx]

Yes I take naps but not on purpose. I'm reading or on my laptop and then suddenly, lights out.

I'm wishing that's how it's going to finally happen.

That's pretty much how I am also.

 

[helenbacque]

Nope. For some reason naps make me feel awful; I wake up all groggy and mad.

Same here. If I'm sleeping during the day, I'm sick. I do, however, sleep late many mornings but that only means I read too late the night before.

 

[Butterfly]

I am a big fan of naps!

 

[Sunny]

Gary O, nice poem!

 

[twinkles]
