Does anyone on here have afternoon naps?

[oscash]

I have a friend who said she always takes a nap about 2pm every day for at least 3 hours. I said did she just sit on the lounge, and she said no, she goes into
bed under the covers. I couldn't do that; I must admit I do have a micro nap if something is boring on the T.V. Does any of the Members actually go to bed in
the afternoon for about 3 hours.?

I have a hard time staying awake after Supper. I flop down on the recliner, turn on the nightly TV news, and usually wind up napping 30 or 40 minutes.

No I don't go to bed during the day... but I sometimes fall asleep sitting upright on the sofa if I'm watching tv..TV is like a sedative to me. Ironic since both my o/h and me worked there in Tv production for decades..he's still there..

 

[RadishRose]

No. There have been a few times when I did, but very rarely.

 

[DebraMae]

It depends on how I am feeling.

 

[January]

not for 3 hours and not every day - but sometimes on the weekend - for about an hour.

 

[DaveA]

Some days in the recliner while watching TV or reading. If it happens - -it happens. Never give it much thought.

 

[OldFeller]

I nap all day and then I'm not tired from dinnertime until early morning.
Unless I have an errand to run.

 

[Knight]

Don't go to bed but like Don I get 30 to 40 minutes with the TV on. I am fortunate to usually get 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.

 

[Jace]

It depends on how I am feeling.

Yes,.me, too

 

[Aunt Bea]

Yes!

 

[Raven]

Yes, Sometimes after lunch I have a nap on the sofa for about a half hour but
I never go to bed.

I love naps when I can take one. I wake so refreshed from it. I'd be a serial napper if I could.

 

[Jules]

Very, very rarely. I set the alarm for 1 hour. My husband always lies down for half an hour. No more, no less and he doesn’t need an alarm.

 

[Lavinia]

My settee isn't long enough to stretch out on, so I'll lie on top of the bed to nap, but never get in it.

My sleep patterns are rather erratic. If I stay up very late or wake up very early my head becomes very foggy. When I am barely awake I will go to bed, fully dressed, and sleep for a couple of hours. I wake refreshed and am capable of concentration once again.

I don't think I would be very refreshed if I just had a cat nap sitting up in a lounge chair.

 

[Ken N Tx]

Yes. when not outside..Wife watches soaps from 1230 to 2PM..

I'm with you, @oscash ... I couldn't do it either (except for the very rare times I'm sick.) Any time I've even tried a short nap over the years always resulted in feeling miserable for the rest of the day. It's always been like that... when my daughter was a baby & toddler, people kept saying "nap when she does!" and I was like "yeah, right!"

 

[Tish]

On weekends if the weather is cold and gloomy, I might catch a 45 min, if I am lucky.

 

[hearlady]

Once in a while if I sit down to watch TV.

 

[Mobilman44]

I could easily enjoy a nap every afternoon - but I refuse to do that. For me, I feel it's a give in to the fact I'm old (80) and I don't accept that easily. Have to add, our day here is different from many, in that our "schedule" is about 2 hours earlier than others - up at 4, lunch at 11, dinner at 4, bedtime at 8.... Kind of odd, but it works for us.

 

[Pappy]

Usually the wife and I grab an hours nap early afternoon. We have those electric reclining chairs and can be adjusted to your comfort.ZZZZZZ

 

[Fyrefox]

I might afternoon nap perhaps half of the days unless I’m actively involved in something during the afternoon. My evening sleep cycle isn’t great, with sleeping perhaps six hours a night, then waking up between three and five a.m., and rarely able to get back to sleep. Sometimes the desire to nap in the afternoon can be quite overpowering.

I try not to nap for longer than an hour, or my evening sleep will be further disrupted. I never used to be able to nap in a chair, but now I can, just using a neck pillow for support….

 

[fuzzybuddy]

For most of my life I slept about 6 hours a night. If I take naps in the afternoon, I can't get to sleep at night. The afternoon nap gets to be 3-4 hours, and 3-4 at night- that messes me up. I try not to take naps at any time, because I'll fall right back into that pattern.

 

[TheOtherRick]

Every day after lunch 30 minutes to an hour refreshes me.
