Hello. After working long days during the week, taking a nap in the afternoon in the weekend is just so enjoytable and relaxing. I have now got into the habit of napping a couple of hours on Saturdays. I feel very refreshed after taking a nap. Do you also do that ? Does it help you to be more refreshed ?

Hi greenline, it's so nice if I could enjoy a nap after a half day hard work. I always feel so drowsy after having meal at lunch time. I can feel asleep easily in my comfortable reclining chair. The hot weather here in the afternoon makes me feel sleepy as well. I like taking a short siesta to get myself refreshed. I'm so energetic after having a proper nap in the afternoon. I have formed this habit of taking a nap in the afternoon since my middle school days. I remember during those day I always tried to eke out twenty minutes or so, after lunch time and enjoyed a comfy nap. Nowadays I still like taking a nap in the afternoon . It's really enjoyable to have a sweet nap to get myself energetic again! I feel content if I can enjoy napping every afternoon. Take care and happy posting

I take a nap daily. Its one of the beautiful things about working from home. Sometimes it makes me feel more refreshed, but the main thing it does is prevent me from getting overtired before bedtime. Which I know my daughter appreciates! Its also a good way to go from working to homelife, since I don't have the drive home to transition. :)

I would like to take a nap. This would be relaxing. It would be lovely. I think it would help me get in tune with my rhythms and feelings. This means, maybe I am tired. So the best way to see if I am is to try a nap during the day. I have trouble falling asleep. I don't know how this would effect it. I usually like to stay up during the day. This is because I think it will help me go to sleep at night. I think it is good to try taking naps. It seems refreshing. And if you have the time, why not? I used to like to take naps. And it was really relaxing.

That is something I should take the time to do. I hardly ever nap and it would be good for me if I did. Now is a good time for me to do that. I only work part-time now and have much more time at home. I used to work 2 jobs ( 1 FT & 1 PT) for so many years. Other than working outside home part-time I try to do some online earnings and work on my jewelry. Thanks for the idea and maybe this is something that would be good for me to do.

Yes, I would like to get sleep whenever I get time. But it is not that easy, whenever I try to sleep in afternoon, it results in me leaving the bed after 15 minutes. I need to be thoroughly exhausted in order to sleep in afternoon. Moreover, my college schedule does not allow me to take an afternoon nap.

Hi, I don't like taking a nap in the afternoon and I even hate it. I prefer doing something else, than go to sleep. Even when I have worked many days and hours, I feel not so tired, to take a nap.

I like taking naps when I can. I usually do it on lazy sunday afternoons around two hours maximum. It seems to me that during the hectic week I need to catch up on sleep and relaxation so that's what I do on sundays.

I always have the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. Since I'm not busy with my job, I can spare the time to take one hour nap everyday in the afternoon. After a whole morning's working, taking a nap helps me to relax and refresh. With more energy, I'm able to work more effectively in the afternoon.

I really do not take any nap in the afternoon. I really find it hard to sleep in the evening if ever I take a nap. Some people say that taking a nap in the afternoon is good for health. Perhaps it is true since it will refresh you and give you more energy. But if ever I do, I won't be able to sleep well in the evening anymore and will find myself very tired the following day. But usually during the weekend when I have no work, I usually get out of bed very late. On weekdays, I am already up by 6am and usually sleep at 11 pm or 12 midnight without taking any afternoon nap.

Yes, i do most of the times as i feel drowsy as i often get to sleep late at night. It is then by afternoon napping that i get the time of sleep I miss during the night session. Though, it may be a short napping is still good as i manage to rest my body and sleep longer.

I do not take a nap in the afternoon. The only time I sleep is at night. Even in the weekends, I do not take a nap. I need very little sleep and I do not usually get tired. So, all in all I do not need any daytime sleep.

Since I am working at night now, I find it very essential to take not only a nap but a long sleep in the afternoon. But during weekends, I can really say that naps in the afternoon are really good. They help my mind be refreshed.

take a nap - Taking a nap when we have been tired of our work is a good way to refresh our mind and have much more energy to work. But unfortunately, I have formed a bad habit of keeping working all the time.
I really want to have a nap in the afternoon, but it is unrealistic for me completely. You see, according to my plan for the whole day, I have no time to have a rest. Having a nap when we have been tired of our work is a good way to refresh our mind and have much more energy to work. However, I have formed a habit of spending all my time on work, which is the action of a workaholic. Even if I have some spare time, I tend to surf on the Internet instead of taking a nap. Although I know that it is harmful to my health, I don't want to get rid of such a bad habit.
