Naps are delicious. I got into the habit of a brief (10 to 20 minute) power nap a few years ago and think they may be even more refreshing than a full night's sleep. It's like all of a sudden a blanket of fatigue comes over me and I HAVE to lie down for a few minutes. Then wake up and am raring to go for hours. If I'm not home there's no problem missing it but it IS a coveted few minutes. :thumbsup: :wave: :heart:

Most of the time naps put me in a bad mood. I usually don't take naps for this reason. If I do take a nap I try not to lay down any longer than 30 minutes or else it will make go to into a deep sleep then I will be in a mood when I wake up.
-
I never take naps on a regular basis. The only time I lay down during the day is when I am not feeling well. I could never lay down during the day, something about sleeping while the sun is out.

I never take naps. I like to be awake during the daylight, and sleep when its dark. If I do take a nap, I wake up crabby.

i love naps.

I know what you mean - I used to feel the same way - the old Work Ethic thing ;D But so long as I don't sleep too long I get MORE done than I would have. Plus having worked night shift at one time helps when it comes to falling asleep at odd hours.
-
Yeah I can relate to taking a nap I get so tired sometimes all I want is to lay down and cut me some ZZZZZ's I will call it my little down time and then when I wake up I feel refreshed. Doesn't matter to me if it's day or night.
-
I enjoy naps! The only problem is my naps routinely will go from a planned 30 minutes to 3-4 hours D:
-
I love sleeping for hrs n hrs...dont like to wake up early morning :crybaby2:
-
I just woke up from a nap lol! :wave:
But I'm like the others that say most the time they put me in a bad mood. :dontknow:
-
ME! Being up at 5am everyday with a 6 month old
-
I do, but then I can't sleep at night. :(
-
I love naps. Usually, I don't get sleepy during the day until it's almost time to go to work. I won't take a nap then because I'm scared I will oversleep and will be late to work.
-
I love a good nap too.
Grabbing a quick hour in the middle of the day is so refreshing.
If I can't get an hour in, I pass on the nap.
-
I like naps. Especially power naps when working on papers. I just took one because I was exhausted after work. But now its dinner time here and I think ill be up for awhile because I took one so late :P
-
I love all kinds of naps! Power naps, mid day naps, evening naps...but the best nap to me is that 11am nap when you woke up way too early that morning ate a big breakfast and fell back to sleep...omg best nap ever!...
-
I agree
-
Naps are good for you!
It's the perfect way to recharge in the middle of the day. :)
-
The older I get, the less naps interfere with my night sleeping.
-
I take one to three a day if I have the time for one ;D

naps are delicious and they help you feel better

Naps are great, especially on a Sunday afternoon. But--I'm not picky; I'll take one any day.
-
Naps are delicious. Makes me feel better.
-
I do! I do! Naps are great, except when you sleep too long and then can't quite wake up all the way afterward. That's not so motivating. But a quick lay down does the trick!
-
I too love napping. If I can get a 20-30 minute nap in 2 hours before my kids come from school I'm rested up for a late night. Without that I'm usually crashing by 9:30-10:30 and that eliminates any one on one time I can get with my honey the way our schedules are working right now. It takes me a good 10 min. to just relax. I've always been a napper. When I was in high school, I would get off the bus, change into my work clothes and nap for 12 min. I'd grab a snack and eat it on my way. If I don't get enough sleep my brain is worthless. And I become an emotional sensitive absolutely irrational lady.
-
I do! Think they're great, no matter how long they turn out to be. Just love them..... lol
-
I could use one right now and i just got up and got to work. I guess I stayed up to late last night, waiting for my cafiene to kick in
-
I love taking naps but I hate when my body starts to get use to powering down at a certain time since
Im not always able to take a nap.
-
I have to have one every day!
-
I love naps! I good 20 minute snooze make you feel refreshed.
-
I do but no time lol
-
I cannot do naps. If I don't sleep at least 4 hours, I get very grouchy.
-
If i take a nap it is usually about 10-15 min. I don plan on having one. But if i should lean my head back in my chair at the right time might go to sleep. Sure enjoy it if i do.
-
I used to take a rare nap when I was younger, but now I find that I can't get a good nap because my body tends to need longer than 20 minutes or so for a nap. Plus it takes so long to get to sleep that it defeats the purpose of getting a quick nap. So I find that even if I'm tired it's just best try and wait until I can get a full night's sleep.
-
I Do. In Fact I,m Gonna Take One Right Now :wave:
-
If it was up to me I would nap 2 days a week... Waking up early for college could be a chore... Sometimes when I wake and I am really tired, I take a nap... Minutes later I am late for my class... That's why I force myself to wake up, finish the day, and then go take a nap
-
I'm a napper. If I feel tired in the afternoon I'll surrender and sleep for as long as I need to unless I have a commitment. Sometimes I get better quality sleep during a nap than I do at night.
If I get tired in the afternoon and I have too many commitments to nap I feel like an irritable little kid. :heart:
-
I love to take a nap every once in a while. The only day I can have a nap is on Sunday after lunch. Just need to close my eyes while the oxygen is helping my stomach digest all that meal. Sometimes a planned nap never works for me. If I want to take a nap for 30 minutes, I will end up napping for 3 hours. Then at night I can't sleep at my regular sleeping time. I had to watch a netflix movie so that I can put myself on sleep mode. Yikes!!!
-
I love a Saturday afternoon nap it's a joy. After you have done the Saturday housework a nice afternoon nap is lovely. It's even better when after your nap you take a little stroll to your neighborhood coffee-house for a cup of joe and a nice muffin. It's the best! :angel11:
-
I have a problem going to sleep in the middle of the day....I think it is needed, but if I'm home I still can't doze off....
-
I like to take a half hour nap everyday around 3 P.M. It keeps me going until bedtime.
-
I love naps! I feel refreshed after one of them and can continue with my day. Feel energized!
-
I will take a nap sometimes, but I don't usually take them. If I happen to get up real early in the morning then I would take a short nap during the day but if not then I would go on with my normal routine during the day
-

I think we're the same. When I don't feel well then that day is nap day for me. I'm feel very tire later when I take nap, don't know why? Maybe I don't get use to it.
-
I love naps but it tends to interfere with my sleeping at night so rarely do anymore!!!
-
I take naps sometimes. There is a real necessity to do so. My hubby snores and he sounds like a volcano erupting. A nap allows me to catch up on some missed sleep and I feel better after doing so. :D
