Do you still sleep/nap in the afternoon? email this discussion to a friend?

Having a cultural spanish background roots. We are taught and trained that taking a nap or sleeping during afternoons is healthy for our body. It recharged us from the hectic mornings that we spend at work or merely travelling to our offices and work places. On the other hand, if you are a home-based person. Do you still manage to get some sleep or take a nap in the afternoons?As for me, I miss those days whenever we sleep during afternoons. Back then there are more spare time to spend with. Miss taking a nap for at least 2 hours and waking up revitalize and ready for another tiring activity. Well, I guess as we grow older our schedules become hectic and as our economy suffers we need to spend more hours at work than before.

I sure do still nap in the afternoon! It especially happens after only 2 hours of sleep. It really gives you more energy to do the things that you need to do.

Good for you. I sometimes sleep during afternoon but most of the time I'm busy as hell. Maybe I need to plan in managing my time. Oh well. Thanks and have a good one.

Doesn't napping cause insomnia at night? It seems harder to get a good night rest when you nap.

I don't take afternoon naps anymore... since i am at work during that time... and during weekends... when i am with my daughter... she takes naps... and i take that opportunity to do some household chores... like washing clothes or cleaning... that way she won't interfere me with what i am doing...


myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (650)   ranked 291 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

That is also almost same as mine. I'm too busy with bunch of things to accomplish and I hardly see my bed during weekends because I'm out with friends in a coffee shop. Darn. Lol. Thanks and happy posting.

Hi friend,I never take a nap,even if I want to take I just sleep for 10 to 15 mins and not more than that.Sleepingfor 2 hoursin the afternoon is not good.We put on weight and we would not get deep sleep in the night.So I avoid taking naps in the afternoons.I heard its good only napping for few mins to half-an-hour in the afternoons.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting. thumbup


myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (650)   ranked 291 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

Yah I kinda heard that too from other people. They only suggest that if you would take naps it only should only take 20 mins or so. Otherwise your head will feel heavy and drowsy. Though I never had that experience. Thanks and happy posting.

As a housewife, my daily schedule is busy with doing the housework chores, managing the kids, marketing, running errands, etc. My hectic day starts at 5.30 in the morning and ends up only after the kids have gone to sleep, like around 10 at night. Even then, I could not find myself sleeping right after and could only close my eyes at 1 or 2 in the morning.

As such, napping in the afternoon is very important for me to catch up some sleep, thus charging my body and makes me alert for the rest of the day. Napping usually takes about 30 - 45 minutes. Once it is over, I am up and about, whizzing my way around the house again.

If I do not take this nap, I may find myself becoming more irritable and bad-tempered. Something that I do not wish the kids to experience, 'an angry mum'.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (650)   ranked 291 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

Wow. You are a super mum and I bet your husband and kids are lucky to have you. Your post seems that you're so busy with the things that really matters. Good for you and you managed your time pretty well by making sure you take a nap during afternoons just so to recharge your body. Hats off to you heavens. Cheers and salute. Thanks and happy posting.

i try to take a nap in the afternoon for 10mins.if i take longer than that,i have trouble sleeping at night.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (650)   ranked 291 out of 5,358 in sleeping  1 year ago

I sometimes experienced that too. That's why I make it a point that nap for only 20 minutes and not more than that because if I get to sleep for 2 hours like I said. I tend to be up all night sometimes until dawn because I'm revitalized and recharged. Thanks and happy posting.

Due to the nature of my work, i cant take a nap or sleep in the afternoon. I cant find time to take a sleep or even a nap. I have only one hour break time during lunch but i use this time to eat and to have my personal hygiene. But on weekends i always make sure to have a sleep in the afternoon to recover my body from stresses that i incurred during the working days.

I do take nap, provided I'm at home. I can't just sleep at any place, like for example at the office, I maybe closing my eyes and pretended sleeping but deep within I'm wide awake and just observing. Well, at home, I surely take a good sleep at nap time. The cool breeze and the natural ambience of the surrounding creates a lullaby for me to sleep about 2-3 hours during nap time.
