Monday's Question Of The Day - July 24, 2017

[MoochNNoodles]

I can't believe July is winding down already! It's almost back to school time for a lot of kids!


Do you like to take naps?


I do. Unfortunately none of my kids do. I'm pretty sure I napped right up until kindergarten. When I was in high school I'd take a nap after school sometimes too. I used to take short ones or at least lay on the couch for a bit after work. When my DD was little and I was pregnant with DS I'd nap every day when she did. Sunday naps are amazing too. Actually I napped both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Sunday's nap kinda sucked me in and I had a hard time waking up from it. Too long I guess. I kept waking up and struggling to wake up but falling back into a dream. Maybe I needed it but I woke up with a headache.

In the winter I love naps. Summer is just too hot. I'm one of those rare people that can only sleep when the air around me is cold. I sleep very little in the summer. (even with 3 fans on me)

 

[muffy]

I take naps. I cannot sleep at night so I usually take a nap in the afternoon.

That's one of the benefits of retirement - you can take a nap whenever you want to. And we do! Ahhh, what luxury!

 

[Kat0121]

I love naps

 

[mightyboosh]

I have several Olympic gold medals for napping, I'm world class at it!

Naps? Holy cow - I already waste 3 - 3½ hours a night sleeping. If I took a nap, I'd be so far behind when I woke up that I'd never catch up. I'm semi-retired, and so only work about sixty-five hours a week. Maybe when I actually retire completely, and only work fifty hours a week, I'll be able to take a nap. Let me look at my day planner for 2035.

No. First, I work full time, so I can't nap during the day (unless I steal 15-20 minutes from my lunch break). And til i get home from work, have dinner and the dishes cleaned up, well, for me to take a nap, then I'd never be able to fall asleep at night. So no naps here. Seriously, I don't have time.

 

[AbbysMom]

I've only taken a nap when I've been extremely sick. Other than that, I don't normally nap.

Ha ha, you must be a human dynamo. Wish I had your energy.

 

[neely]

No naps for me, I enjoy the daytime too much.

 

[Freedom]

Absolutely! Every day, about 20 to 30 minutes after lunch, I take a nap for an hour or so. Have done for many, many years (more than 20). In fact, one of my dogs, Tasha, will start barking if I delay too long, she LOVES nap time!

 

[verna davies]

I love to read for a while in the afternoon but often find I have been napping for 30 mins or so and usually wake myself up snoozing. (Oh did I actually admit to that!!!)

 

[sivyaleah]

I don't normally take naps. First, I work full time and second they tend to make me feel worse when I wake up than I did before. Like, I get really out of it. I'm not good at a quick nap, when I do it's sleeping.

Wait, I suppose snoozing on my train ride home counts, right? But that's more like passing out lol. Sleeping upright should not count!

 

[betsygee]

The only time I sleep during the day is if I'm sick. Otherwise, I've never been able to do it.

 

[DreamerRose]

I do, but I'm trying to avoid it because then I can't go to sleep at night. A few days ago, I didn't fall asleep until 5 a.m. Then I sleep too late in the morning. Days later, I'm still trying to get to bed earlier and wake up earlier.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I agree!

I ended up sleeping terribly last night after I posted this. Between that nap and then having a nightmare 2 hours into the night I was up for around 3 hours or so before I got back to sleep. So I will either need a nap today or get to bed early tonight. I'm thinking I should go for the latter here. Much as I love my naps I think I'd sleep too hard.

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

Having a kitten or a young cat can make you yearn for a nap.
But I'm afraid I'm like a few posters here... if I try to nap, I wake up feeling completely zoned out.

 

[cassiopea]

I hate naps! They always make me feel so much worse afterward - groggy, gross and in a bad mood. So I avoid them like crazy. Probably the only person in the world that dislikes naps...


The only time I take a nap is if I am on the plane, whether a red eye or day hours.

 

[Willowy]

I love naps. I can't always actually fall asleep (depends how much caffeine I've had) but I'll give it a try any time!

I can't sleep on a plane or in a car though :/. Very annoying on long trips.
