Do you cat nap?

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

I do, every day, for several hours. The meds I take have HEAVY sedating side effects, so I sleep most of the day AND night away.

 

[TippyThomas]

No. If I sleep at all during the day I will pay for it by struggling to fall asleep at night. I find that I have to be very routine oriented in my life and my sleep schedule falls into that category as well.

 

[soccerdad72]

No. Personally, I find that a midday nap just ends up making me feel more tired.

 

[dizneegirl]

Not unless I'm really sick, or pulled an all-nighter for work.

No. Personally, I find that a midday nap just ends up making me feel more tired.

That happens to me as well, at least until I actually lay down to go to sleep for the night. Then all of a sudden I have the energy of 2 large coffee's.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I sometimes nap, maybe for an hour or so. I love my naps. I take all of my medications as close to bedtime as possible or I'd never be awake during the day.

 

[Uncle Coaster]

I’m a huge nap taker. They are very helpful.

In fact, most weeknights I go to bed very early (like 6:30 or 7:00), then wake up between Midnight and 2:00, do my chores or watch tv for a few hours, and then nap for an hour or so just so that I can start my day refreshed from a nap rather than groggy from a full nights sleep.

The longest I'd spent asleep was when I was first put on a particular meds, and I snoozed 36 hours straight. I woke up during the night of the following day and was very disorientated!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

On Sundays I like to nap
Anytime i sit down in my chair to watch TV I’ll end up taking a nap

 

[Kitty 34]

No but I sit a lot more than I ever did when I was younger.

 

[footballmouse]

I do because I don't use my c-pap machine so I wake up tired. I usually doze off during my lunch break at work.

r.e. bold -- Catnaps, or naps that last 20 to 30 minutes, are fairly well studied, and researchers have discovered a number of benefits to a short daytime snooze.

I do *Catnap* for 10 to 20 minutes on occasion. An hour(+) is not a nap for me but rather is sleeping.

No, but she does:

 

[amcnj]

I don’t have a regular napping regimen. I know someone who has a set daily time for it. There are occasional days when I do doze off, and assume I had a sleep deficit going.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

On the weekends I’ve been known to nap. Usually because I stayed up late the night before OR I plan on staying up late and I am sleeping for stored energy to stay up late.

 

[summerlyangel]

Nope. If I'm napping, I'm sick. I try regularly on my days off, but I never doze. I will rest with my eyes closed, but I do not fall asleep. It is nice to calm my brain and rest my body though.

DH, however, takes a couple per day, usually 15-30 mins. Usually after lunch, then again after work before dinner. He works at home, so I can easily see when he naps.

I'm insanely envious of his ability to nap and wake refreshed and ready to go again!

 

[tvguy]

Not intentionally, but not unusual for me to fall asleep for 15 to 20 minutes while watching TV between 3 and 4 pm.

 

[barkley]

i have devoted my life to make up for all those naps i fought against in kindergarten.

 

[TCRAIG]

Yup - especially since I’ve retired - I’m naturally a night owl so I love to take naps - as long as it’s dark-ish and I’m warm - I’ll fall asleep…I’ve been known to snooze thru MRIs…the noise doesn’t other me at all…

 

[hertamaniac]

I don't plan for it, but it seems like between 4-6 PM I'll doze off watching television. I think it's my body telling me to get more sleep overnight.
