I'm telling you I dont know what it is ... but sometimes Im worthless without a power nap throughout the day.. today I was off work got up at 10am ran about did some errands got back at 6 and fell asleep from 6 till 8 ... I swear Im 25 and im like a senior citizen that has to have a daily nap.... anyway I slept a little longer than I thought I would. Im telling you sometimes Im so tired IF I take a nap that long I almost wanna sleep through the night and when i wake up I am almost more groggy than before I went to sleep...

So what about you ..

DO you enjoy a nap?

Do you power nap?

or

do you take a 2 to 3 hour nap?

do you ever feel worse when you wake up or are you more rejuvenated?

I think im like this because im such a night owl... I really dont seem to have a routein

I would'nt say I take a nap everyday,but I tend to do so more during the winter time. If I get cold,sometimes I will snuggle up under a blanket to get warm while watching TV,and fall asleep without really meaning to. I probably sleep 1-2 hours when this happens. I am a night owl also,so I can lay down,sleep till 8,and then be up,and go to bed at 12:30-1:00.

every day....just woke up from at 7pm to 2am nap...now i can't fall back asleep

I can't take a nap during the daytime coz I'll feel groggy for the rest of the evening. If I feel tired, I'm better off having a coffee and something to eat than lying down.

I try to nap but I can't. Never have been able to just fall asleep for an hour or so during the day. I also can't fall asleep in a car. Tried to when my son and I were driving from South Carolina to Chicago, but just couldn't.

yep, im only 82 but i have a hr or 2 just about every day

Yes, most days, for anywhere between 30 mins and 3 hours. I can basically sleep any time of the day and for as long as I want and still go to sleep at night at a normal hour, but I can never go back to sleep once I wake up in the morning so whenever that is I get up and do something or rape my wife mercilessly until it's light outside.

I used to enjoy a nap in the Summer on occasion.

i have always been famously known in my family for taking naps.

ever since i was diagnosed with arthritis, i find i need naps to catch up on sleep i lose during the night.

was playing tetris today on my cell ph and literally couldnt keep my eyes open...had to lie down for a nap.

it is awfully cold here today, and joints were playing up...makes me tired



most times they rejuvinate me, other times i wake up feeling like i have gone ten rounds with mike tyson

No. My mum doesn't like that, although there were a few times I looked really desperate so she let me, but I hardly ever sleep during the day. It's also because I just don't have that habit. When I'm tired I'll go lay down and just breathe deeply and relax for a few minutes, but that's it. Except when I'm really exhausted. But even then, I somehow can't fully rest and when I wake up I don't feel much better.

Only the weekends.

If I had it my way, I would take a nap each day, but since my job/college starts very early in the morning, I can't afford to take 'em everyday,,,esp when I'm a very alert person and sleeping doesn't come easy.

aye. nowt better than a little kip right after lunchtime.

2-3 hour naps? Some nights, that's a full night's rest for me.

I take crappy naps....

or is it nappy craps?

Nope ... not even if I am sick ( unless i am just REALLY really sick )

I don't like to nap ... makes me feel like shit when I wake up from one so for me they are useless

I have a hard enough time sleeping at night as it is so if I nap it fucks up my potential 4-5 hrs of sleep i MAY get at night and that would SUCK

not every day, but i do enjoy a nice siesta.

I get a good nap in about twice a month on a weekend.

Napping on my couch with my kitties next to me while bad tv is on in the background (Friends, infomercials, whatever) is positively heaven.

I feel you. I take power naps. They are so refreshing. I love my summer power naps the best!! I can relax in my sunroom with the windows open. If I get a little wind, omg!! I am gone. And don't let it rain.

I usually take 30 minute naps every day that I work, I get bad headaches and this helps out a bit to get me through the rest of the day.

I like tuning in golf tournaments. Something about the announcers hushed voices knocks me out cold.

I love naps.

I napped all goddamn day today.

From 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM I dozed off and on in bed. Then from 3:00 to 5:00 I napped on the couch.

Then I went out for Thai food.

sometimes if i'm dead tired i do....then get up a bit later and can't fall asleep..then get up all tired cause i gotta get to class ( thank god we finish this week, then exams joy...2 italian ones)

I take a nap every chance i get. I am a night owl so I seem to sleep better during the day. I just woke up about an hour ago from a 2 hour nap.

I take naps when I am menstruating. If I am cramping bad I lay down and nap. I always wake up refreshed and a bit better.

I love the way my skin looks when I just wake up for some weird reason. Oh and a nap after sex is great too. I just did that for the first time in YEARS recently.
We both passed out after. It was like a 30minute nap but it was nice, in a afternoon delight sorta way.

When I was unemployed, yes. That reminds me, I will be unemployed again in 4 weeks.

I don't think I ever sleep less than an hour. That's when it still feels good to wake up, but once it goes beyond that waking up can be tough. The worst is when you fall asleep in the afternoon and it's something ridiculous like 7PM or 8PM when you wake up.

There aren't many things in the world that are better than a good nap. I take one almost every day.

I just took one and it didn't help at all

I don't like to take naps because if I do that during the week, after work, I won't be able to fall asleep when I try to go to bed. Sometimes on the weekends I will; but I really don't like to. It messes up my sleep schedule.

That said, I just woke up (about 1.5 hours ago) from a 2 hour nap. I was up late Friday and Saturday and still had to get up at regular "work" time this weekend. I got home from my volunteer gig this afternoon and crashed. Now I'm worried I'm not going to be able to fall asleep later.
