Not allowed to nap  

I try hard not to nap during the day because them I find myself having a hard time falling asleep at night, but I understand what you mean. Now I don't have any children, but when I do try to lay down & nap it seems suddenly every member in my family decides to call me. After the first few calls I give it up & get up...LOL

Thats why I don't even bother trying to nap. I usually just load up on Pepsi & keep myself moving one way or another & just go to bed when the kids do.

OH that happens to me all the time! I don't nap often, but it seems when I do something always happens. Usually it is the phone ringing. And have the time, as to make it worse, the phone caller usually has the wrong number. When we moved here almost 3 years ago the phone number they gave us was recycled. It used to be the number to a tv repair shop out the road that moved to the next time. Apparently none of his customers got the message though because everyone kept calling us. three years later we are still getting calls for them occasionally. But if it's not the phone it's one of the girls asking me for something. It just kills me when they walk up to me with my eyes shut and my mouth hanging open asleep and start talking to me and asking me something like I'm awake.

I wish that you could have gotten that nap! I look forward to a nap on Sunday afternoons. I read the newspaper in bed and then put on the tv and then, have a little sleep. Soemtimes I sleep for over 2 hours and still go to sleep by about 10.30 at night. So (this happemned yesterday) I knew that my body was exhausted. I've always needed sleep and not getting enough would really make me miserable. When I reach home from work I sometimes lie on the bed for 30 minutes under the fan to recover. But this is rsting not sleeping. and the twins let me have this time wihtout coming into my bedroom! I wish that I could even just rest for 30 mins each day after lunch!

I rarely nap during the day anymore. I used to get one in about 2-3 days a week. Now I am lucky if I get one. My daughter does still take naps here and there, but I don't normally get a chance to lay down with her anymore.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Am I allowed to laugh? I mean would you mind if I go littl more loud while I laugh.
Oh okay, I think I should carry on my respose! Right.

Oh, you have taken words from my lips. I have been into these situation many times. When i was at New Delhi out of my home town, I used to work in a night duty and had to take a sleep in noon time but one day, whenever I tried sleeping, someone came on the door interrupted my nap. Most of them were like milkmen, cable person, intenet engineers and etc!

That was the worse day I had !

That happens to me almost everyday I can't slep until 1 am or later so the next day I'm really sleepy. I have two kids one is 11 and the other is 1 and my oldest is in sumer vacations so you can have an idea what I go true everyday.
And if you can't I will tell you. I clean all day the after my kids and my husband I cook 3 or 4 meals a day depending if my dad those gets hundry at a later time. Also I try to make time so I could get online in mylot but when I do one coment or two somebody will need something from me. Today I got a visit from a friend and 3 of her kids and my dad decided to stay for some days hear with me so I had to jugle even more things today. At the end I never had a chance to take a nap or to touch my bed. :(

Hi Kastmeow,
I heard that having kids meaning you can't have a quiet day from the moment you gave birth to them. lol. Is that ture? From your situation, i guess the answer is yes.
I LOVE sleeping, but i only have 1 hour break during the day time. I am trying to take 20 minutes nap or as long as possible. That really helps to keep me awake of the afternoon action.

i could not tell you how many times thats happened even lately. my son will lay down around 10am, since he works nights most times and his gf will either lay down with him or be playing on her pc. the dogs will be napping. everything is so quiet, cant hold my eyes open. i lay down, and either someone gets up and starts noise in the kitchen, right near my room or the dogs start barking over nothing, or someone calls for me even though i havent heard from anyone for days!! its like the whole world knows your taking a nap!

I had a nap today simply because my son was on the computer and there was nothing to do. I took the chance to get some sleep because I very often work until late at night when the internet connection is strong. Cheers!!
