Afternoon naps

The last few days, I've been a little more tired. So, what I've been doing is just laying down on the couch, closing my eyes, and resting. They haven't been long. Maybe 20-30 minutes. But it has still been really nice. I've actually enjoying taking those little naps/rests. I can afford to do it, when my kids are at school and daycare, which is when I usually feel the need for a power nap. Honestly, I may just keep the habit of doing it, if and when I'm home and not working. It definitely does help me.

I've been really fatigued lately, and I'm pretty sure it's because of the heavy amounts of pollen in the air. It's allergy season for us here in Florida, and the pollen is so thick it covers everything like a blanket. I think my body is working overtime to keep up with the antibodies to fight the pollen allergies, which is what is causing my fatigue. Unfortunately, pollen season for us will stretch well into May.

Sorry that you have to deal with pollen. Hopefully you find a way to deal with it.

Yes taking nap in afternoon may keep you mind and body fresh. I do it when I am not at work.

Had an afternoon nap yesterday during my day off. It was an extended nap, hardly a nap at all. Slept at 9am then woke up at 12 noon but then I went back to sleep. Finally woke up at 2pm.

@dodo19 true. Right now, getting quality sleep is high on my to do list. I'll gladly miss events just so I can get enough quality sleep.

@allen0187 Sometimes, it's better to miss some events and get some good sleep.

Those, what I call power naps, are great. Give me the energy to make it through the rest of the evening/day.

They can be so nice to have. Short, but just enough to regain some energy.

@dodo19 .......Experts feel they can disrupt your night sleep though.

I can't do that, when I rest during the day I can't go to sleep at night

Some people are like that. Some will have a hard time at night if they nap.

If it's helping I would definitely keep doing it. I sometimes have a nap after lunch.

I used to take little nap when my kids were in school but my son does cyber school for the past two years. If I nap at all then I wind up not being able to sleep at night.

So that can be tricky if it stops you from sleeping at night. For the moment, I don't have that issue.

I think with little kids you really need those naps. I would say nap away!

Power naps don't work for me as they often trigger headaches.
