I do not take a nap after lunch or even during mid afternoon. I find it hard to sleep at night when I sleep after lunch time or when I sleep in the afternoon. Usually I sleep at 12 midnight. The earliest time that I sleep is around 10 pm. That would be when I am very tired and busy during the day.

Taking a nap after eating lunch will only make you bloated. Make sure that you walk after digesting your food after 15 minutes to lessen the fat. Yes an hour of nap is good especially in the afternoon, but over sleeping can make you fat as well.

An hour or two sleeping after lunch, i call them " power naps" is very helpful especially if you slept later than usual the night before. But me I do not usually take naps after lunch. I utilize this time to do my online income generating activites and other online activities i am engage st in the internet. Taking a nap when its rainy or cold is the one activity i love doing. But i usually do this on weekends.

i seldom take a nap, after waking up it makes me more sleepy than feelin fresh, and its hard for me to sleep at night. I love to sleep at night and enjoy that, every morning i feel fresh and energized too so i dont need a nap. Some times i will just sit and relax, but no napping at all.

I am always getting sleepy after eating lunch. My body is used to have a nap after few hours after meals. But sleeping after lunch is known to make your metabolism to slowdown and the effect is body fats. So I you keep on sleeping after lunch be sure that you also maintain proper exercise an you should be physically fit as well.

I'm always not enough sleep for rushing my work around. If after lunch, there's some times, I will prefer to take a nap.

i think a nap in daytime is necessary,whether you had enough sleep at night or not. you may feel fresh and with a high efficiency on your study oe job. For me it is even a truth, cause I got an insomnia at night, and can't keep full energy on my job the whole day, so I usually take a nap after lunch, it really works , you may have a try!!^_^

After lunch I always have work to do but I would definitely love to have a power nap. Sometimes I sleep for about 20 minutes to recharge. It's always tempting to sleep after lunch because we get sleepy after eating and after working for about half a day and the sun is hot, we are even more sleepier. I guess sleeping after lunch is a very tempting thing to do. ^^

taking a nap after lunch is good though not applicable for an employee like me. if i'll get use to it and accidentally fell asleep at work, i might be fired from my work.. taking a nap after lunch is more advisable for toddlers and kids for them to grow taller.

Yes, because of the hot weather, it is so very tempting to take a nap after lunch. I myself take a nap sometimes after eating lunch too. Wow, your school is a really cool school. It really lets you guys take afternoon naps? If only my school was that cool :) Actually, yes, a 15-minute nap, also called a "power nap", is really good for all of us, especially students. Power-napping helps restore our energy, focus, and concentration. Taking more than 15-20 minutes of sleep during afternoons can help make us feel disoriented and dizzy. I speak from personal experience. That is why I always set my cellphone's alarm clock to 15 minutes when I take a nap after lunch.

Yea i do take naps since it energises me after sleeping for awhile although sometimes I still feel groggy after sleeping. zzz. I feel taking naps allows me to have a more focussed mindset on what I am gonna do that day and the next day.

I normally can't take a nap after lunch do to the fact that I am in school, but if I had the choice it would usually depend on how tired I am. I'm not tired that much because I go to sleep early to make sure I get enough rest for the next day of school.

Yes, summer time makes one so drowsy specially on lazy afternoons. Here in office, we cant take our nap of course, but after lunch I do feel so sleepy (in fact, most of us do) and with the cool breeze of the AC I really feel like taking a nap. Instead, I go for a short walk and splash water on my face to keep awake. But on weekends at home, I would definitely take a nap immediately after lunch.

Wow, so lucky you get to take nap at school at your age too!!! I wish they had that system here in Australia. Yeah, I remember the old days where I just full on lying on the table during class time. As for the teacher, they don't give a thing. I only know that taking a small nap in the afternoon is due to your body-clock needing a rest at certain time. However, I don't take naps now until I feel like it. Have a nice day!~

Nope, i feel like i'm wasting time if i'm going to take a nap after lunch. I'd rather do something worthwhile like bond with friends or family. I do take nap sometimes but only when i lack sleep last night. I just want to catch some sleep but i rarely take a nap. Maybe i'm just pro active, that's all.

It depends on the situation. I never take my nap if i'm in working days. But almost every Sunday or holiday i will take my nap since i really need more rest after my hard daily routines. Taking nap after lunch can be easily happened and done. But it's not good for girls. You know the reason. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I don't usually take a nap after lunch, because I'm not used to it. And instead, I'm in my computer posting and responding in myLot. But I sometimes take a nap when I'm so tired and I want to rest for a bit. It feels refreshing when you wake up. Where do you study? In our school, we're not allowed to take a nap. Lucky you! Have a good day to you too.
