Afternoon Nap

JONJO THE MISER · 13-09-2011 05:41PM #1

Just woke up there from a afternoon nap, went in about 3:15 got up now, i very rarely take one but i tell ye, it did me the power of good.
I feel i got more and a deeper sleep than i would at night.
So anyone else here take afternoon naps?

2 hours is too long.

half an hour max. anything longer affects your sleep at night

I love having them on weekends. Employers should allow employees to have afternoon naps. They're good for you. It's science.

I often fall asleep on the bus on the way home from work, not very restful. always feel tired enough to nap, but yeah I try not to in case it affects my sleep at night.

Nobody. Can you sleep properly at night every time you sleep for two hours in the afternnon though?

Afternoon naps are the business.

Usually have a power nap on saturday and sunday for a couple of hours.

Yes, yes I can, quite well thank you

I nap occasionally when I am tired from chasing my toddler around, and being up from 6am to about 12 midnight can be exhausting some days.

Has to be a gap in the market fore a sleeper commuter train. We could rename the Metro North Codladh?

tallaghtmick · 13-09-2011 05:50PM

You know you've had a good nap when theres drool everywhere

westendgirlie · 13-09-2011 05:50PM

I went up to bed about 6.30pm yesterday. I woke up at 6.45am this morning!

Always feel like shit every time I wake up from a nap. Im worse off after it. I find it easier to just stay awake and go to sleep earlier that night

Immaculate Pasta · 13-09-2011 05:51PM

I occasionally have a half an hour nap after a long day to recharge my batteries before the evening but I usually find I'll have a cup of coffee late afternoon which usually does the trick instead.

Although I am slightly jealous the way me Grandma does it who says "I'm just gonna put my head down for an hour so don't call me between 1 and half 3"

MungBean · 13-09-2011 05:52PM

No good. Afternoon naps always leave me shook after it.

abouttobebanned · 13-09-2011 05:52PM

And this is why the country is in the shit! Headaballs having afternoon naps when they could be out working!

patwicklow · 13-09-2011 05:54PM

Yep! Might have something to do with me most often only sleeping 4-6 hours per night, but that's beside the point.

This reminds me of a study I read about which indicated that some people's natural sleep patterns made them more suited not to one long period of sleep, but two smaller periods. Apparently some people who don't function so well in the morning might be like this, and forcing themselves to adapt to this 'norm' is detrimental to their health.

If you wake up groggy from a nap then you know you probably slept too long. Or you might be getting sick.

Thats like something my mother* would say!

I also use this phrase.

Depends on the energy expended during the ****

staker · 13-09-2011 05:59PM

Fapn'nap in the afternoon as good as it gets.

Princess Peach · 13-09-2011 06:01PM

Pretty much everyday for about an hour. On workdays its usually an evening nap after the gym.

Sometimes on my day off I might have a mid morning nap.

I don't understand how people can make it through the day awake.

Many people work nights, or as a waitress I often had shifts from 6-2 and the from 6-midnight, you better believe I napped from 3-5.

Also being unemployed causes depression, depression often leads to a lack of energy and in turn leads to napping.

yeah, i get more than 8 hours sleep every night and could still sleep before and after work. don't get why people insist you only need 8 hours, it varies between people.

Osgoodisgood · 13-09-2011 06:09PM

No, I can't nap. I can never actually get into a deep sleep unless it's night time. And besides, it's sort of girlie really to need a nap isn't it?

Welruc · 13-09-2011 06:11PM

Needs afternoon nap = Must be a child under two

gargleblaster · 13-09-2011 06:13PM

Nooooo, naps are good for you. Good for your brain and memory and stuff. It's science! Do it!

Princess Peach · 13-09-2011 06:15PM

I'd sometimes even take a 15 minute kip on my lunch hour.

Hence why I'm so beautiful
