When I was stilla kid, my Mom will always ask me to sleep every afternoon for me to easily get tall. Do you think that is true? Do you sleep every afternoon? Withy me, I do that before but very seldom now, I can only do it during my rest day, but still don't do it because I am quite busy with online business.

Well, for me, it depends on the situation, but since I do work Full time and during the day, I cannot sleep in the afternoon even when sometimes I would really Love too. I usually do come home from work and take a nap a lot of the time rught after I eat dinner for about an hr. though to refresh.

No since I dont have the luxury to take an afternoon nap whenever I feel like. However I do take an afternoon nap during summer. It is hot here. The sun makes you lazy and lethargic. © ronaldinu 2008

No, I do not sleep each afternoon. There are times, when, after doing quite a lot of work at home, I do get tired and go to sleep. Regards

My mother used to tell me to sleep in the afternoon so that I would grow taller and faster. That was when I was still a kid. I actually didn't like to sleep during the afternoon. I would rather play with my cousins. It was very hard for my mother to convince me to sleep during the afternoon then. Now that I am already a grown-up, I want to sleep in the afternoon but I can't because of school. Argh!

sleeping during afternoon would be very helpful for us to restore all the energy that we lost !! It's good to have a nap if that we are not busy.

No, now I seldom sleep during the day. There are so many things to be done during the day. Even though I do feel sleepy and tired while doing my job, I have to continue on my job because if I don't do it, nobody else can complete it for me. If I have the time, I will sleep during the day. Usually when my husband and I do not have anything to do during weekends afternoon, we will take a nap together in front of the television. We will watch a good movie from the television, because there is always good movies at that time. And afterwards when we get tired watching the movie we would drift off to sleep and wake up again at 5. After that we would go jogging or doing any outside activities which freshen up our minds. As for right now, I really want to sleep because I am so sleepy. But I have to refrain myself because I have many more things to do.

Hi there Rberon! I used to sleep in the afternoon when I was a kid too. We were usually forced to sleep or we won't be allowed to play in the late afternoon. We used to find every possible excuse so that we won't have to nap and sometimes, we just pretend that we did so we can still play after supposedly, waking up. Now that I'm a grown-up, I would love to sleep every afternoon but I just can't. I have classes now or I have to do something so I don't have the time to sleep. I actually find it hard not to fall asleep during my afternoon classes.

Hi there rberon1985! When I was younger, my mom encouraged me to sleep after lunch. She did not really tell me that it was for me to grow tall or something. She just said it would be best for me to do so. I do not have the luxury of time to do that now. I spend most of my time in the afternoon for my work. Well, at times, I wish I could sleep in the afternoon but maybe not as of the moment...
