I just had a not-so-great nap, but for the most part, I try to take one of these babies whenever I have a chance. I don't know why I like to sleep so much, but I always have taken hour to hour and a half naps on weekends and any time I'm not at work. I guess I get it from my old man. Dude is always in the bed, or at least it seems like to me. So, are you a nap-taker?
Considering my propensity for staying up very late even when I have an early class, I take plenty of naps. Hell sometimes last year my naps lasted longer than my actual sleep. The best are little twenty minutes ones where you wake up and feel like you've slept for hours.
Naps are good when you have that "la-la" feel about your body. I am a nap taker, no doubt. Usually between 12 and 4 when I'm not at work. Just 1 to 3 hours and you are ready to.... stay up late...that's the part I hate about naps.
Manny, you're lonely aren't you? Um.... ok, anyway... during the weekdays I usually go to sleep around 1-1:30 and wake up at 5-5:30. I go to work and provided it's not a 12 or more hour day, I'll come home and take about a 15-20 minute nap. I noticed Squirrel Killer said he took 3 hour naps... that's more like sleep to me.
I like most naps, except for the types when you wake up at 6 in the evening and it's kind of light outside as if it were morning and you're freaking out because you think it's morning. Those suck!
Nope. They make it harder for me to fall asleep and I usually feel horrible after them. But, when you have to sleep, you have to sleep. I've taken a 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. nap before.
hahaha ... i remember taking a nap in Health class. I woke up and had this drool running from my mouth to the table. Everyone had a good laugh at that! The next time, I woke up and stayed in my position. Then i slowly checked for drool. I take naps often. I love going home for work and taking a short nap. I always wake up in time so im not late for work. Weird. The best naps are when you wake up and you have no clue what time it is, what day it is and you are totally lost. You almost think its time for work. (those are usually from the long stressful days)
I've always hated naps. Half of them turn into midday nightmares polluted by TV sounds or other voices. The other half disrupt my ability go to sleep when I want. It's a bad habit.
I take them occasionally, but I really LOVE the naps my 3 year old takes ....once a day 2 solid hours. Ah man to be 3 without a care in the world. DD
Naps are cool unless you go to sleep at 5PM and end up sleeping the whole night. You miss out on so much!
DaDakota's post brought a smile to my face... Man, DoD, you don't get much sleep. How do you do it? I try to get 8 hours a night. I try to avoid naps if at all possible. I don't like to stay up late.
