I know everyone gets tired at different times during the day,and some days when I get home I am so beat I do not want to do anything especially when I work second shift even though not long after that me and my wife go to bed,and when I work mornings we have too much to do to take a nap,but I remember when I was a kid I used to take a nap when I got home from school,and I have a friend who takes naps during the day,I guess because he gets tired,or he gets bored,or something makes him want to take a nap,which he seems to always have good naps,and he sometimes naps for hours at a time before getting up which I guess is normal.

I tend to get bored a lot,but there is always too many things to do and not enough time to do them in,and we never have a chance to take a nap,even though sometimes I wish we did,because naps are awesome lol.

Yes. When I get bored, and no work to do, no books to read, no interesting programmes to watch in the TV and no friends to chit chat, I simply go for napping. Kids generally nap in the aftenoons. When my children were kids, in the noon I will make them to take a nap for some time

Hi vathsala I dont have the habit of napping in the afternoon because I am working.. Even on weekends I dont take nap because it might become an habit which is not good for me in the working days.. Instead I make sure that I have 8-9 hours of sleep per day.. happy myloting..

What you say is correct. If you are addicted to take naps during the week ends, you feel sleepy in the office days too and you can not concentrate on your work. it is better to take good rest in the night is a good idea.

if i dont have work in the afternoon i always take a nap, since its like you are charging energy. napping is very important especially to kids they are having some energy consume thats why like a battery they should be recharge.

I read articles about naps. Experts say it's very good for our brain. It will refresh out minds and will make us alert again just like waking up in the morning. Others also say that it can increase one's memory powers. I also nap but not always since I have problems sleeping. shadow41

Yes. Experts are right.Napping makes us very fresh and energetic and the whole day we feel very fresh and can able to do our work perfectly. What problems do you have in sleeping? If you can't get sleep daily, Just drink a glass of hot fresh milk added with a PINCH OF nutmeg powder and 1 spoon of honey. You get sleep like any thing. But DO NOT add more than 1 pinch.

Oh! i don't know that nutmeg causes deliriums and other complications. but since our childhood we are used to it. We use it for sweets, for new borns, we mix a little paste of nutmeg in the milk and feed the baby for a good sleep and for the adults who feels it difficult to get sleep, we put little, very little and not more than 1 pinch of its powder to a glass of hot milk with 1 spoon of honey and give. nothing happens and they sleep for a long time. But if the dose exceeds, then it will be a problem

I have insomnia. It's so hard for me to sleep. Anyway I don't think I can get a hold of a nutmeg powder here. Plus it can cause deliriums and other interruptions of our brain activity. Hehe. Looks like scary. But still thank you for your tip. shadow41

I sometimes get uncontrollable nap in the afternoon and go to sleep for half-an-hour. Then I will feel fresh. Otherwise everyday I will not sleep. I will sit before computer or read some book which is my favourite.

If I have the chance, I will take a nap in the afternoon when I get home from work. It's funny how when you are younger you hate naps, but when you are older you wish someone would tell you that you have to take one.

When we are young, always we will be active and because of the age, we don't feel exhausted so soon. But when we become old, the strength will be less and very soon we become tired and feel like taking some rest.

I love to nap on the afternoon...I got so sleepy around 3 or 4pm and I would love to have a little rest. It's actually good for both mind and body. I'd rather have a quick nap like an hour or two instead of making my eyes all sore in front of the computer...hahaha. Happy Mylotting!

I take a nap when a free time available for me in the day time, napping makes my mind fresh and can do the next work perfectly. I usually get napping between 2-3pm due to the meals taken. I even take a nap for an hour when i am at home,.....

yes. Napping makes us feel fresh and we can do the next work perfectly and till night we feel energetic. Even I usually get napping between 2 - 3 only and sleep for 1/2 hour and after that i get up and feel very fresh and energetic. After that i will do my pending work like cleaning the vessels, washing the clothes, cleaning the house and watering our garden etc with full zeal and zest.

I absolutely love taking naps when the day is done. After my day i am very tired since I have to wake up at 6:00. Naps are always refreshing and energize you. Also, they keep you from becoming crabby so its always worthwhile to invest in a half hour ar hour long nap.

well, when i'm tired I will take a nap in noon times. but I feel sad of working people who never have such chance. but if we practice taking a nap at noon atleast for 3 cont. days that will become a habbit. So, I will be very careful in this thing. taking nap for 15 min. is acceptable. but if i go for nap, definitely that will become an hour sleep. so, I rarely dare to do this.

Hi Vedhak What you say is 100% correct and I too experience the similar situation. Yes if i take a nap for continuous 3 days, on the 4th day, automatically i am feeling sleepy and drowsy. If I make napping a practice, I am started to putting on weight. This is my experience and so now a days I am avoiding taking a nap. If I feel too sleepy I will restrict it for 15 or 20 minutes

No, Vathsala.I don't take a nap when I am at home in the afternoon. Very rarely I go into a nap that too only in these recent years.

Day by day, when we are becoming more aged, we feel like taking a nap in the afternoon and it is good for health only besidesl, we feel fresh once we take atleast 1/2 hour rest in the afternoon.

Hi dear, I love to sleep in the afternoon but it is not possible for me. I will be in the office 6 days of the week. On Sunday I may sleep more time in morning then I can’t sleep in the afternoon. I have to finish pending works on holidays. If I am on leave then I may sleep little time with my kids. But to be very frank I feel more tiredness after the sleep, for me it is better not to sleep in day time. May be I don’t have the habit of day sleeping.

Hi Sree you are right. Working women can not sleep in the afternoon. Only on holidays you can have some rest but that too is not possible coz that day you will be busy doing the pending work at home of the entire week. Before marriage I too worked in the office. So I can understand your difficulties.
