Afternoon Naps

Noooo....they are not only for grandmothers. Realistically, older people sleep less. Afternoon naps are nice. They refresh you, especially after eating a hearty meal for lunch and still got a long day and night ahead....

Yes, they are for lazy people though. Naps make me cranky and completely ruin my whole day.

I usually don't take naps. Only during exams, when I really shouldn't.

But you're right, they're oh so very refreshing. And it's odd to wake up at 4 and realizing it's not morning. Or something like that.

Usually during the winter I take a nap at least every other day, just because the days are so exhausting... during the summer I tend to feel guilty if I take a nap, like I'm wasting a beautiful day.

I'll nap in the afternoon on the weekend if I've gotten one or two hours sleep the night before. But it's really just catching up...

In the summer I sleep 'til 10-noon anyway, so I don't really need a nap

I napped for 2 hours today, but I only got 6 hours of sleep last night so that kind of made sense.

I nap just about every day. I can't make it if I don't, which is really sad. Usually I'll only sleep for about 10 minutes or so and lay there for about 50 minutes after tyring to fall back asleep, realize it's futile, and then get up. It's kinda fun though. I enjoy them.

I get cranky too and I feel sick when I wake up from one. So I try to avoid taking naps especially if I'm going out later.
