Taking a naP?

I never take a nap in the afternoon because for me goodnight sleep of 6-8 hours is enough and I feel really uneasy if I at all tried to take a nap in the afternoon. This qould sound quite strange, but sometimes when am forced to take a nap in the afternoon for any reason, I sleep for hours and my mom has to wake me up and I don't wake up till dinner LOL!

i occassionaly take naps when i'am not in a mood to even surf the net. i like to have a short nap of atleast an hour before i can do any work

being a mother of two young kids,i try to take a nap in the afternoon when they are asleep,to make up for my nonexistent sleep at night.

It depends lot on your life style weather you take after noon nap or not! For me afternoon nap is as good as a night's sleep for others as Spend most of the night time in working! I am working for a Stud Farm and we are into the business of breeding Race horses! Since this is a breding unit you need to attend the horses all the 24 hours of the day! Most important events like foalings, that is delivery of young ones and follicle monitoring for mating etc are generally done during night time! Some schedules treatments which I like to attend in persopn are also need attention during night time! On an average I never go to sleep before 2.00 am, so it makes me quite tiresome as I need to get up as early as 5.00 am sometims, though I regularl;y get by 7.30 am. Actrually when I was student I used tio study during night hoursd and since then I have habit of awaening during night time! Thus after a hectic night schedule I need afternoon sleep, where I sleep about 2 to 3 hours sound sleep and it really recoups me! Thanks foir initiating such a nice discussion! I liked the participation !

Since I have to work, so I won't take a nap. When it's in the weekends and I don't have to work, usually I will stay with my son and make him sleep. He behaves well when I am with him.

Hvaing a short siesta for kids and adults is always good.. you have to take a rest for sometime in your busy day to relax the mind .. and away from stress and a bit of the silence.

i wish i could take daily naps in the afternoon but the most i can do this is during weekends coz i work monday to friday. for me, naps are important to revive some energy in the middle of the day. but sometimes, during weekends, our family goes out so i don't get to take them as much as i'd like. but it's ok, being with my kids and husband revives my energies too. :)
