You will be 2x more productive after you take a power nap than not taking a power nap at all. Take a quick nap after lunchtime. hugging a pillow and laying your head on the table will do. No need to lay your body down completely. 30 minutes will do. Your brain will be more refreshed and you'll be more productive if you take the nap.

No I don't feel sleepy in the afternoon because I am not use to sleep during that time. Unless I am very tired.

Hi julyteen, I still remember during those college days, after taking lunch we still had to attending lecture after a rest of 40 minutes or so. It was a luxury for me if I really could enjoy a twenty minutes of short snap. You know I couldn’t as I usually had to spend about 5 minutes to walk back to my dorm and spend another 10 minutes or so to reach the lecturing hall. So the remaining twenty five minutes were not enough to have a nap. I usually would take cold shower to get rid of the sticking drowsy feeling.

I feel sleepy everytime I do not have a good night's sleep. But since I am in Office I have to make myself stay awake. Cannot afford to have a nap. Have some hot tea to keep myself awake.

I usually feel sleepy every afternoon. Specially when there is no pressure work in the office. So when i felt sleepy during office hours i go out of the room and take a little walk in our building hall.

i bet it always happen t you at around 2pm. there is a study that most people get sleepy at this time. it is like the body is trying to save some energy unless you are always on the go and you won't notice that your body needs some nap. it is normal thatis why some offices have nap times.it is called power napping and they found out that it is more productive.

Ever since I was in grade school I would have to take a nap in the afternoon. I take medication (actually two) that make me drowsy and I try to get an hour in a day for a nap. What ends up happening is that I sleep too long and then I can't sleep that night. Great discussion Thanks Zelo

Yes, especially when I feel bored, lazy or tired. I need some rest and nap for awhile to get more energy.

in my case i feel sleepy every afternoon, especially when i am maintaining my vitamins. i would always fell asleep when i am just from a bath. Anyway, sleeping with enough time gives you more strength , and you will have a nice mood, otherwise it will make your day worse.

That was before I really had to take at least 15 minutes nap every afternoon but now that I am enjoying the mylot community, I hardly could feel the urge to take a nap because I would rather go to mylot and participate in the discussion. Ha!ha!ha!

Yes, this happens to me. Unfortunately, I work in an office outside of my home so I do not have the opportunity to nap. If I had the opportunity to nap for 15-30 mins in the afternoon, I would feel great and probably get more accomplished the rest of the day!

I don't feel sleepy in the afternoon. In fact I rarely sleep in the afternoon. I'm sleepy in the morning, a few hours after I wake up, but then I get active and the sleepiness wears off.
