And why do I say Don’t nap in the afternoon ……because I had a nap this afternoon and now I can’t get to sleep !!! My own silly fault I know. I had a bad night last night , with a couple of nightmares / weird dreams. I also had to get up early as I was meeting my Mom to go shopping. So this afternoon I was so tired I was nodding off anyway, so I gave in and had a nap. I slept for longer than I should have and now ….i can’t sleep !

This is why I don't take a nap during the day. If I want to sleep at night, I must avoid the day nap.

I know the feeling If I nap during the day I would not wake up until the middle of the evening

@Ineeddentures Youre just like my son. The longest nap for me is two hours and I would feel terrible upon waking up.

Still, naps are so nice and decadent.

I’m right there with you. I went to bed so early last night because I kept nodding off in the afternoon, and now it’s 2:48am, and I’m wide awake.

Oh no, that’s the classic nap trap! It’s so tempting when you’re exhausted, but then bedtime feels impossible. Hopefully you can at least rest and reset a bit tonight.
