I live in the Philippines and we were colonized by the spaniards more than a hundred years ago. Some of their culture has been passed down to us including siestas meaning taking a nap in the afternoon. I do this when I am home and I do not having anything else to do and I also love to sleep in the afternoon during weekends to compensate for the sleep that I lack.It keeps me feeling refreshed and ready to take on another week of work.

I'm a fresh grad.I teach koreans online.That keeps me busy the whole week.I work for about 12 hours a day so I lack sleep most of the time.That's why afternoon naps during weekends is convenient for me.If I don't have weekend things going on, that is.

Sometimes I do, but not my choice. It is a necessity with my twins.

I take a nap during break hours at work. We actually have break hours during 3:00 p.m., so I used to take a nap at that point of time.
Taking a nap is very helpful, so that you will regain the energy that was lost in your body.
Have a nice day and take care!

Yeah I take naps, I just cant help myself at times. If Im feeling sleepy then what else can I do? lol I probably take more naps than I should, and I really dont feel well if I take a nap in the late afternoon, so if Im going to nap I will take one before 1pm. Plus that way I dont feel so guilty about doing it.
: )

haha i take naps right after lunch, and it is not helping my weight control efforts (as if i have one) lol ....but i feel so groggy if i don't hit the sack. i wonder what effect does lunch have on me? i would like to have coffee but since i am trying to conceive, i dont take caffeine.

I take a nap in the afternoon whenever I get a chance. I never used to get tired in the afternoons. I am not sure if it is because of some of the medications that I am taking, or if it is a sign that I am getting older, but now it seems that I am tired all of the time.
