Naps and more naps.

Until a few years ago, I never took a nap. My sleeping hours changed in part when I met an internet friend. She lived in California and had cancer. She was in great pain so she couldn´t sleep. We played canasta at Pogo and told us of our lives until she coould fall asleep. THen, later on, it was my turn with cancer although I have been luckier. But chemo left me with no energy so I slept a lot more. I recurred to naps as I did when my friend was alive. Now I feel I need a nap after lunch. True, lunch is my biggest meal. Maybe it is that. But as soon as I eat lunch, my eyes start closing. I´m mylotting a bit, just up from my nap. Do you take naps? How is your sleep? At what time do you wake up?

I take naps whenever I can, usually on my days-off. My sleeping pattern is somewhat screwed. I wake up at one-hour intervals starting at 12midnight. Not sure why. I wake up at 3:30 in the morning.

@marguicha happened to me again earlier. Slept at around 10pm and then I woke up at 2:30am. Woke up at 3:30am and was too tired and sleepy to get out of bed. Ended up sleeping again and was finally up at 4:30am.

@allen0187 I hate it when it bappens in Winter. I wake up in the middle of the night and feel that I should go to the bathroom. It is cold as we don´t use central heating.

I take them, but rarely. I'm normally up between 10:30 and noon, but don't go to bed until 2-3 AM.

@marguicha Once in a while I'll take a nap after lunch, that's usually when I'm up more than I am asleep.

I'm sorry to hear that you have cancer. Good thing you successfully fight for it. Take a good rest to gain your health back.
