I thought I needed one...

My friend woke me up or tried to wake me up at 5am but he failed. He was persistent though and tried again and again till I finally awoke at 5:15. I thought, after lunch, I might be needing a nap...badly. Went to bed but sleep didn't come. I guess I don't need it after all. So I'm preparing myself to go back to work instead and be useful. Do you regularly take a nap?

No, but occasionally I do get a 20 minute nap if I didn’t sleep at all the night before.

No sleep the night before would really be needing a nap.

I used to do that when I worked. They call it a “power nap”.

No. I usually don't have naps unless my body really calls for it

One must listen to their body.

I have been wanting to take a nap lately. I do take one on the weekends.

When your body needs it, you must.

Ha, a friend that persistent is hard to ignore, even at 5am. Funny how the nap you needed most is the one that never shows up. I only nap when I'm really wiped, otherwise I just lie there staring at the ceiling too.
