Here I am struggling to keep my eyelids from drooping and I thought hey why not see if you are alone in this boat or if others are snoozing too! So how about it? Do you take a nap and if so how often/when etc?

I love to take nap after lunch, but sometimes I have to do something after lunch, so that sleeping moment past, I don't want nap anymore. I usually nap just put my head on desk and about 10 to 30 minutes, I will colck before I have nap in my cellphone, but sometimes I was so sleepy I just turn it off and take 5 minutes more. Now if I at home, I just nap on the couch, I can't have nap in bed, I will never get up at least 1 or 2 hours if I lay down on the bed. And I think 10 or 20 minutes nap is wondful, you just have energy for afternoon, and too much time just made me headache!

Funny to hear you have your cell phone alarm set for your naps! I do too! I have to have it set just in case I do doze off so that I wake up in time to go get the kiddo from school!

I like to take a nap in the afternoons sometimes, but about the only time I get to do it is on Sunday if I am not working. I usually don't nap for long though...Usually only for about 1/2 an hour...

I do nap occasionally. Sometimes I'll nap when I get home from work it just depends on how tired I am from my day. If I'm really tired then I'll take a nap but sometimes I'll try hard to not nap especially if I know I won't sleep that night if I nap.

yes I do. Well sometimes. I usually take one when my son is asleep and it is usually on the couch or bed. I mean i try to sleep when my baby does, because he is a hand full at night lol. Well yeah and my husband takes them too, which he works so that is understandable.

I usually take a nap after school in order to prepare my brain for doing homework. I have to get up early, so I'm quite exhausted after a long school day and need some rest. I feel much fresher after having a little nap.

I always take a nap whenever I can't help it. I can't think of anything when I'm sleepy, so better take a 15 minute nap while sitting on the couch. I don't want to lie down at the bed coz' I might end up sleeping for hours. Sometimes, when I'm sleepy and it's impossible to take a nap, I just drink black coffee or wash my face with cold water.

The only time i go to sleep is when i go to bed as all the other times while i am up i tend to be busy doing things as that way when i do go to bed i am tired.I find it very hard to go to sleep when i need to as well as when i go to bed sometimes it takes a long time to drift off to sleep.The only time i have taken a nap is when i was really ill.

Yes I take naps. In fact, I am trying to take one right now. In front of my monitor, on my desk, at work. I just had my lunch and I feel really, really sleepy. I've caught my eyes drooping several times. If only my boss wasn't around, I would lie my head on my desk here and take a 10-minute power nap.

I take a nap when I had the time, but usually I always take a nap everyday...and it's not in the afternoon. It's at 6.00 PM. I sleep for 2 hours and then back to sleep at 1.

I usually don't take a nap because i'm not sleepy during the day,I go to sleep just at night.Rarely i take a nap but just when i'm very tired or if i'm very bored.

Sometimes I take a nap, but I dont like it very much. After that I feel strange and its hard to remember which day it is. Probably its good if you do it often and your body used to it.
