NAPS!!!
I love to take naps! I take them ALL the time!
So, there are A LOT of posts about sleep, insomnia, etc. But what about naps? I nap a lot, and my roommate does too. Sometimes it's annoying because I have to be quiet and leave the lights dim or she will be grumpy. Maybe it's because we are university students, so our sleep schedules are goofy. My sister in high school naps all the time too though. Sometimes I just nap so I can stay up later because I feel like I am more productive at night. I've heard that some high schools have a meditating/napping study hall class. Isn't that neat!? I would have loved to have a nap-time in high school. I miss nap-time from preschool, although I barely remember it. I dunno. Maybe I'm just a sleepy person. So, I would like your opinion: Do you nap often or know someone who does? Does it annoy you when people nap a lot? Would you support a nap-time at your high school? Does anyone have any good preschool nap-time stories? |
Naps are great but I usually never pull them off. I always wake up immediately, or I can't fall asleep, or something is far too noisy for me to nap, or if I do nap I won't sleep at night.

I would love to nap, but I don't have time to much anymore. I work 9 hours a day so by the time I wake up and get home from work, it's already 10PM. It really sucks because I'm always tired. On my days off, I'll be up for a few hours then take a few short naps during the day. I'm really lazy when I can get away with it.

I'm tired 24/7, so of course I love to take naps :]
My parents yell at me when I take naps though, because when I do I go to bed later then I get up late. |
The sad thing is that I'm usually up all day AND night. The only thing close to a nap is what I do during school. XD I always end up taking naps on weekends, which are fun. The only thing I hate is that after I take a nap I end not being able to go to sleep at night ._.

I nap sometimes, but usually only when I'm sick or upset. Then I can nap for three or more hours at a time.
Otherwise, I just take half hour to an hour long naps with my boyfriend. It's so easy to fall asleep in his arms. |
I love my naps ^__^ I do them all the time...usually right after school, then I wake up really late at night and have to do my homework. Not one of the most smartest choices but I do love my naps...coz I'm always freaking TIRED.
What's funny though today my friend (zaner on here but he never ever logs on) came over to visit and I wasn't sure if he was gonna at all coz he didn't call me...and all I hear at my front door is this frantic knocking which happens to be my mom trying to wake me up. I wonder why she can't just open the door herself coz I KNOW she didn't lock herself in...and I'm in bed sleeping...and she won't stop knocking so I roll myself outta bed to open the door...and HEY it's zaner outside with his friend visiting me XD I so wasn't up for it coz I'm really tired today...after all I'm on Vicodin for pain relief and trying to recover from surgery. I never expected that a situation like that would happen though...my friends coming over while I'm asleep? It has happened before but like mostly with girl friends...if it's guy friends it's weird XD |
I probably take one or two naps a week. University student with goofy sleep schedule here~ X3
I only have 3 days a week where I have classes, but they are long days. My classes start at 9am and I am not a morning person~ XP I usually get about 5 hours sleep the night before I have classes, so I wake up really tired and end up napping when my classes are over. I also tend to nap before I start writing an essay or something, because I know that I'll be up writing it for hours. X3 I used to never take naps and found it really difficult to fall asleep during the day, but lately I'm always sleepy - I just have no energy. I'm not really eating right, though, so that probably doesn't help. XP;; I'm going to take a nap later this afternoon - my classes finish at 4-ish, then I have a revision session for a test tomorrow with some friends at roughly 7, so in between I get to naaaaap~ ~ w~ |
Yeah, I nap often! I'm a single parent at Uni, so I figure that any chance I can get to grab some rest is worth it! Especially that with the weather changing I seem to have more trouble getting to sleep at night, so naps are needed to revitalise me!
Does it annoy me? I'd be hypocritical if I said yes! I guess if you need a nap, then nap. But if you are just napping to be lazy when you have other stuff that you need to do, then I kind of frown a bit. My daughter is at preschool, and they have a nap time - I think it's essential, seeing how much energy young kids expend! If they didn't have nap time (even if they aren't sleepy they still have to lie quietly and rest) they'd be so exhausted at the end of the day that tantrums would fly fast and furiously! |

I do have a insomnia... sometimes, i just wake up in the middle of the night. my eyes jsut open, but i'm not fully awake~ but i know that i woke up and my eyes open, i always need to sleep in afterwards~ |
I would really love to be able to have naps, I've heard that the 20 minute power nap is really good because you don't enter the deep sleep part of the sleep cycle until after 20 minutes...
But I really don't have the time to just have a nap in the middle of the day, to start I've got school, and lessons don't make the best time to have a nap... and then I don't think I'd be able to wake up if I tried to have a nap, so it probably wouldn't work for me. once I'm awake, I'm usually awake for the rest of the day, no matter now tired I am, that's just the way I am |
I enjoy naps but I can't take them. When I fall asleep I'm out until my batteries are completely re-charged, and no person or thing can wake me from that. I once fell asleep on the couch in my basement while my family was making dinner. They accidentally burnt something and the smoke set the smoke detector off right above my head and I didn't wake up. I didn't even turn over.

I'm honestly just not a fan of naps. I've always found that afterwards I just feel sleepier than I did to begin with. So, I only take naps when I really need to. Which is usually when I'm sick or couldn't sleep well the night before for whatever reason.

I take naps in front of the television sometimes if I've had a busy day.
My dad takes naps almost every day. xD He doesn't eat a lot and is out at university most of the day so when he gets home he has a nap. The medication he is on makes you drowsy, I think. I don't think nap time in school is a good idea. You are there to learn! Nap in your own time. ;D |
I do nap when I want to stay up late. Don't know but I also feel I'm more productive at night. My grandfather naps a lot. He would just sit back and Bam! He's asleep. As if he's taken sleeping pills. My mom is not a nap addict but she hoards sleep. She tries to sleep when she has the time and she can't stay up late at night.
It can be annoying when someone naps too much. I have a classmate once who always sleeps in class. His desk always smells like saliva it's yucky. His hair is also all messed up all the time. I wish they could be as cute as anime characters who like to nap. But they smell and look bad. Nap time would be okay. I mean I sometimes take trips to the clinic back in high school just to nap. Nothing wrong with that. just do it in the right places so you don't drool over your desk as you sleep. In preschool, our teachers would always say "heads down" but we can't sleep for we are so tense. i end up not napping after all. |
I LOVE naps. They are usually more relaxing for me than real sleep is. I take power naps heh. 5 hour naps are my minimum.
I take naps pretty often too. The only time naps irritate me is when my brother naps on my bed and I want to nap. I cant nap on the couch cause it's too sunny, and I require darkness! I'm an insomniac at night. It's really hard for me to sleep at the right time. |
I nap quite often either once every day or every other day. Well, at least three times a week.
I am not really sure why I nap so much though. Maybe it's because I am on the computer a lot and looking and the screen and stuff makes my eyes tired. I am not quite sure. |
i want one!

I remember some stuff about nap-time in preschool.
The good times when we didn't need more sleep. I would absolutely love it if we had nap-time in school, especially during the summer, something about the summer just makes you kind of sleepy. But when I go on vacation to China, there is always a nap-time right after lunch. It's one of the most wonderful things ever. It also helps with jet lag and stuff... |
I love naps, but I can't take them. If I sleep in the middle of the day it throws my sleeping schedule all out of whack >.<
|
Mee too! i love to take naps yeah i take nap on morning, afternoon, evening its soo relaxing cuz no ones buggin ya but.. well i hate it when i wake up because of my mom she's a loud mouth -_-'

Do you nap often or know someone who does? Yes I take lots of cat naps. I do not know why. I just get so sleepy. I always have. When I would come in from school I would take a nap in the evening sometimes. I still do to this day. If I get tired I just lay down. I feel terrible when I first wake up though. I hate doing that.
Does it annoy you when people nap a lot? Some times even though I nap lol but if hey nap more then me. O.o Or are napping when I wanna go do something. Would you support a nap-time at your high school? Yes I took it even though it was not in high school. LOL I would always go to sleep in class. I just could not help it the teachers bored me. Does anyone have any good preschool nap-time stories? Not really I remember doing it I liked it. I remember my mat was yellow. And I remember laying there playing with my hand on the floor. I did not like naps back then lol. |
Oh my goodness, I LOVE to take naps! I can sleep anywhere, anytime. XD I usually take one on my break at work and I just put the seat back and relax in my car. I really invigorates you for the rest of the day. I also like taking naps after work when its been a long day. My favorite though is Sunday afternoons. I mean who doesn't love a Sunday afternoon nap? =)

Naps are the best part of life, heh. I'd love to just sleep forever. C; I love sleeping so much that when I wake up on the weekends, I'll force myself to go back to sleep. It's great! LOL
|
I had great naps yesterday and the day before, but I couldn't fall asleep today even though I'm tired from only getting about 5 hours sleep again.
Still, I can sleep in tomorrow~ No need for a nap when I don't get up until midday. X3 |
