I have been mylotting for around 2 hours now. I want to blog as well in my other writing site but I can´t. I need a lot of concentration when writing a travel article but I can´t concentrate. My eyes are heavy and I am getting headache trying to continue interacting at Mylot. Do you take an affternoon nap? I had a nightmare last night that I slept restless. Maybe due to the eventful night here in the neighbourhood. I wrote about the fire last night beore going to bed. So long for now. I have to take a nap for at least half an hour. See you later.

An afternoon nap/sleep is a must here unless i have something i cant put off.I take my naps/sleep from 2 to about 5pm.This is because im up so early 6am and im never a morning person. Im so used to my naps if l dont nap,l find myself asleep even on the sofa.

I never take a nap in the afternoon. No matter how tired I am I cannot sleep when outside it's not dark.

I only take an afternoon nap when I don´t have too work and in vacation @LadyDuck. It seems that the hot and humid weather in my home country makes me more tired than when I am in Germany.

@thelme55 The hot and humid weather makes us feel more tired. I remember when I traveled to Florida.

I do make it a point to take a nap because of the good effect it has on my body.

When I was a kid, my mom would force me to take "siestas" (Afternoon naps in the Philippines) but now I usually just do that on weekends but rarely though. Hope you would be able to catch up on rest.

I'm not fond of afternoon nap. It's not really a part of my routine. In our country, our parents would often tell us to take a nap in the afternoon, but i don't know why I'm having a hard time doing it.

Sometimes, I will close my eyes, and try to power rest a little. Generally, that's what I do. It does help.

I just got up from a lovely nap. I was traveling yesterday and over night and didn't get a sound sleep. My nap felt good. On a daily basis my husband naps every day. I don't usually but when I do it feels good.

Yes, it feels good after a good nap. Your hubby is having a healthy life. I have read before that having an afternoon nap is good for our health. I can only do that if I wake up early in the morning @PainsOnSlate

Take your nap and wake up refreshed. I would take a nap, but I can seldom fall asleep.

Yes, i take an afternoon nap on weekends , if i am so sleepy . It's usually for an hour or more . The problem though , is that night , i cannot sleep until it's already about 1:00 in the morning . So , i only do it on Saturdays , where even if i sleep past midnight , i can oversleep the next day since it's a Sunday . So as much as i can take it , i don't take an afternoon nap .

I enjoy a nap on a rainy day, but haven't napped since my hubby's surgery. I need to nap when he does.

Sometimes I take a nap if I have hard time keeping my eyes open. For me it doesn't have to be a long nap, just 20 minutes will make me feel refreshed.
