Do you feel tired even after a afternoon nap?

November 10, 2022 7:33am CST
I have been experiencing tiredness and grogginess even after a good afternoon nap. This never happens in the mornings. I'm alert in the mornings. Do you sleep in the afternoon? For how long?

This happens to me every day I take a nap. I blame it on my sleep depravity. But that's just me.

@Gnana_Helps If that's true, it would explain why I'm in such a crappy mood whenever I'm woken up from R.E.M. sleep. I might not be sleeping. I may need to look into that, because if I'm allowed to sleep and go through a complete R.E.M. cycle I end up feeling well rested. Maybe it's something that changes as you get older, because I'm 34 and don't feel as spry after R.E.M. cycle has ended as when I was younger.

@Hanyouyomi 34 years isn't an elder age. Maybe it could be some other issue. Better get checked from a doctor.

Hahaha me too. and I get lotta dreams. Some sleep experts say if u are dreaming, it says u arent sleeping at that time, ur brain is active. All that considered may be I would have actually slept for an hour or two.

I have started taking an afternoon nap last few days as I have been feeling very sleepy and tired and not able to do any work.

Sometimes I will feel a bit tired in the afternoon. When I do take a nap, it's not usually for very long.

Yes, I take an afternoon nap of about 30-45 min every day. I feel energized after the nap.
