Do you do it?

[Shellon]

:D--> Got your attention didn't I?

Do you nap?

Are you a power napper who can get rested on 15 minutes of shut eye?

Are you a long napper who enjoys and hour or two nap?

Are you a sneak napper like I am? One who feels guilty when you can sneak some ZZZ's in the afternoon?

Some businesses are making naps a part of the workday schedule. I'm sending them my resume.

Naps leave me more tired than not, so I don't.

I picked up a thought from James Mitchner, that works well for me ...

How sweet it is to do nothing all day long, and after having done so, to rest.

I nap anywhere anytime I can...sometimes for half an hour sometimes up to four hours....it is how I survived with fussy babies all those years....now it is necessary for working thirds.

I nap in the late afternoon sometimes. I don't always sleep through the night and this helps a little.

Seem to really lose energy after 2:30 till about 5:30 sometimes.

Oh yeah! I love naps and do them on a regular basis. They can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. Depending on when the dogs wake me up to go outside and bark.

[Bramble]

I never nap. If I actually fall asleep I don't wake up right--so groggy and grumpy, I can hardly function. Really, I walk into walls and stuff.

If I didn't sleep well, some quiet time in a hot bath helps alot.

Unless I'm sick, I mostly nap instead of sleeping a full night through.

We get up between 3:30am and 4:30am. About 8am I nap for a couple of hours. Then I nap for a couple of more hours in the late afternoon. Anywhere from midnight to 2am I go to bed.

Wherever we go in the car, I sleep while riding...even if it's just 15 mins or so.

I also sleep through boring TV shows...not more than an hour.

This schedule changes daily. :D--> But it's pretty reflective of my sleep patterns.

[reikilady]

Some of my dearest and nearest take "power naps". Sleeping is a real gift, especially all the way through the night!

[ex70sHouston]

I nap whenever I can. If I eat lunch and then sit down my eyes will go closed. If I turn the TV on I will sleep.

Best nap is 5 minates. Wake up refreshed and ready to go.

Worst nap is 2 hrs. Takes me three hours to wake up.

Notice its the ladies that mostly nap?

guessing cause we raised the kids, we are

the ones awake at the sound of anything

unusual, we don't sleep thru the night

much during pg, after babies are born, during teen years, during physical stress or medical

stuff, during womenly stuff, during menopause,

and the list goes on and on.

Naps are of GOD!!!

I learned in my corpse years that 20 minutes

of nap could change my life!!

15 hr days became bearable (not fun but bearable)

In my new job thinking naps are out of the

question, unless of course I am stranded

at an airport for an unseen layover.

Us older women are looking forward to the

day/time/season, when we "FALL ASLEEP".

How sweet it sounds to me!

I don't nap much. When I do I'm tired for the rest of the day.

I admire people that can power nap.
