Glad to know i'm not the only one. I was beginning to think something was wrong with me. I only get about 6 hours of sleep at night and then I work out 2 hours a day. And when I get home from the gym I have to nap or I can't function.
Typically, no. Lately, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been a very busy month here, and I haven't had time to get much "normal" sleep (lately 4 or 5 hrs). I just woke up from a 1 hr. nap about 30 min. ago. It was nice, as DS3.75 came in and cuddled me. (DW is working.)
I love to nap! But lately I'm almost tired of napping b/c I seem to be actually needing at least one short nap every day or I can't function. I liked it much better when napping was a choice rather than a need.
Good to hear I'm not the only one that loves naps. I actually NEED to take one daily. My MS causes really awful fatigue. One minute I'm energetic and ready to go and the next I'm falling asleep standing up.
In the past couple weeks, I took a nap a few times. Heavenly!! Wow...what I was missing when I worked! LOL! Unfortunately, it's time to get back to work. I dread the thought of the eyes hurting from lack of sleep, the dragging at 3 p.m.
I don't like to nap, but sometimes I don't have a choice. Either go to bed or fall asleep where I'm sitting or standing.
I just hate the groggy feeling when I wake up and the time wasted.
I nap almost every day. I don't know if it's really a nap, but a part of my normal sleep. I go to bed about 9pm and up at 3:30am, so that's 6.5 hours. I usually sleep from 2:30pm-4:00pm. That's 8 hours, so I'm not sure that's a nap.
I hate to Have to nap but I don't seem to have a choice. My body shuts down from 1 p.m.--3 p.m. If I don't nap then I end up getting sick and I don't function at all. I sleep (and even dream) in the afternoon but when I wake up I am ready to do until 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. What is a pain is that I can't not nap and that includes when I am away as well. There is no vacation from my nap.

I have to nap on the weekend, at least 2-3 hours. I try to get it in both Saturday and Sunday, but it doesn't always happen. Ever since I've had this stupid virus (over a year now), I can't function without one since I can't take one during the week. Sometimes, I even come home early on Friday and take one after work! Not that I don't enjoy them. I used to nap when my DS was still taking naps because he wouldn't lie down unless I lay down with him. It also gave us our alone time so he could talk to me about "stuff". Invariably, it would end up being about our favourite topic WDW!
