Do you sleep in the afternoon, take a siesta or sleep any other times apart from night time?
I take a siesta sometimes in the afternoon, or as I call it, just going for a lie down. LOL.
Sometimes we all get tired at times other than when we are supposed to feel tired ie. night time.
Do you take a siesta??

They say that the body actually does better if it can take a lie down around two in the afternoon. I like to do this when I can, which is only about once every two weeks or so. I do find myself drifting off sometimes when I am at work if it is quiet and boring. I nearly fall off of my chair.

Well, I really love to take siesta, when I'm tired because I was busy all day, or when I just got home from school, once I go to my bed, I automatically, close my eyes and off to sleep! It's very relaxing and gives me energy to do things later on

I went through a stage for quite awhile, of taking an afternoon nap. The problem is that it affected my night time sleep.
So I now I try not to nap in the afternoon.

I do have a siesta occasionally, when I have nothing else to do and I feel very tired, I find an afternoon nap for me is a deep sleep and that is something I don't get at night time so I just keep the nap for when I really think I need a good sleep.

I don't sleep in the afternoon. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to! Sometimes I fight the urge just to close my eyes and drift off. This happens almost every afternoon. Oe of these days I will give in and just enjoy.

I don't normally take a nap during the day, but I have done that on occasion when I had the extra time and was just really tired. I normally don't have time to take a nap, but sometimes if I'm sick or something, then I'll try to find a time to do it.

I am not a sleeping person so i don't take a nap in the afternoon. I used to take naps before but i noticed that during the night i can hardly force myself to sleep. Since then i avoided doing it. The only times I would feel asleep in the afternoon is when i am sick and on medication. Medicines such as paracetamol always make me feel sleepy.
