Naps in the afternoon

[AUDRAA]

I want to discuss this.
Ok I just woke up from one, feeling I think more tired. Usually I feel ok, but sometimes I wake up feeling worse then when I layed down. Does anyone else has this problem or is it just me?

I do sometimes, but to tell you the truth I could so use a nap right now. Just the thought of it makes me more tired. Too bad I am still at work though.

Alot of times I before I go into work at night, I like to lay down and take a nap but when I wake up, I feel alot more tired than before I even layed down.

i take a lot of afternoon naps lately. naps are good, but laying around doing nothing isn't.

I'll be sitting on the recliner in the living room reading and find myself falling asleep. Over half the time, when I wake up, I feel lousy...irritated and getting a headache. The other times, when I wake up, I feel either weird because I feel temporarily disoriented or I'll feel a little refreshed because I was so relaxed and it was so quiet and peaceful when I was asleep.

As someone from the country were naps were a tradition (and still are), I can tell you that's only because you sleep too long. They say you shouldn't take naps longer than 30min.

i dont think that has to do with naps, sorry...umm, i always heard 45 min naps were where its at, but the Spaniard prob knows better, being they are like cats over there, nap nap nap

Yeah, I used to feel like that when I would take naps in the afternoon. Id be so tired that I needed a nap, but I always regreted it after waking up from one cuz I felt like total crap. And when its time for bed that night it would take me forever to fall asleep. But yeah, I always felt like crap after waking up from an afternoon nap... I havnt done it in years cuz my boys are grown now and theres never anytime for one!

 

[GuesSAngel]

Well I try not to take naps in the afternoon b/c I feel that if I take them I won't sleep at night...but I don't sleep at night anyway. I remember when I did take naps I would wake up feeling more tired though.

naps only work on me if im
A- hungover
B- got nooooo sleep the previous night

otherwise i wake up felling worse most of the time

I feel crappy taking anything over 10-15 min.

If I need a nap it's usually because I didn't sleep enough the night before .. and my body wants to stay alseep and get a full cycle .. if I wake up after 15 min, I am groggy for quite some time after that.

If I sleep over 15min I need to sleep at least 2 hours or I'm not good for anything workwise. I can't concentrate.

Ok, I'll be funny...Naps reduce stress which reduces the likelihood you'll get cancer.

 

[AUDRAA]

wanna come nap with me so we stay cancer free?
