Do you think it's good to take naps?

This seems to be my topic as i am fond of taking naps as it is good for health and it refreshes me.After my lunch I am with my friends they sit chatting for more than 25 mins and meanwhile i take a nap and before they leave they wake me up.As my father was a farmer I saw him taking naps after working hard under the burning sun.he would exactly take a nap of 20 mins and got ready for his work.I feel everbody should have the habbit of taking naps.I am saying naps not sleep.

I do love to take naps but I find it difficult to do so... Taking naps helps reduce stress and makes you more lively.

I love naps. The only problem is that I can never take a nap that's less than an hour or so long. I try to literally plan a nap in my day if possible. I think that naps are beneficial if you do it right. Naps are supposed to be 15 minutes or so. I dont sleep so good at night either so I generally look forward to my nap. I used to think naps were for old people or kids. Not anymore. Naps are good for one and all.dl

...Hi laydee, People who have stressful, high powered jobs, are said to take naps during the day, to rejuvenate themselves. John F. Kennedy, I read would take a 10 or 15 minute nap during the afternoon, I believe I read. How he timed it I don't know, unless he used an alarm clock. I take mini naps as well, especially when I have something I need to do and I am feeling tired. It works for me, and I go on from there. It stimulates the brain cells or renews them so you can function as you should. Take care.

I've read from a research study that taking naps gives performance boost for the brain. It refreshes your brain and relieves stress. And another research said that if you are still in your growing age taking naps will boost the growth of an individual. So I would suggest to all parents to have their children take naps. Taking a nap is absolutely good for you my friend.

Yes, in my opinion naps are good for yourself and I think that help improve your health.. I don't have enough time for taking a nap latetly but anyway I love it hihihi the problem was that everytime I wanted to "take a nap" didn't wake up till the next day hahaha I love sleeping :) it's a shame that now I'm always busy and I have to wait for sundays.. but for me it's good taking naps ;)

NO, don't take naps. It totally screws up your sleep cycle. What happens is when you take a nap you may feel good, but at night, like you said you can toss and turn, or not even be able to sleep at all. Some people can take naps and still be able to hit the sack with no problem, but that could be a sign of a health problem. Other people can take naps and still go to sleep at night, but in the morning they feel exhausted and really groggy. This is because of the "extra" sleep from the nap. A person isn't as tired, so the body doesn't fall into as deep a sleep as they would without the nap. If you have any problems with sleep, don't let it go, it could be a sleeping disorder or an underlying health problem.

Hi laydee! Sure taking naps is definitely good! By taking a nap, we can be more alert, we can reduce stress and improve cognitive functioning. Having a nap means more patience, less stress, better reaction time, increased learning, more efficiency and better health. Each time I get the opportunity to take a nap, I grab that opportunity. I found it very helpful. A few minutes would be great!

You should take a nap , but sleep less in the night . I can`t sleep in the afternoon at all ,but that`s just because i`m not tired . When i worked for 33 days, everyday , a lot of hours / day , i must admit that when i had a pause in the afternoon, i was eating so fast, and then , even if i had just 20 min, i would sleep them . In the night, i was sleeping less than 7 hours, and all the day to work, it was a little hard, so i was sleeping every free minute. Even in the bus until the work section thouse 5-7 minutes . I couldn`t belived that in my first days , but after 3 days, i was doing the same as all were doing .

absolutely it will.i'd like to take naps ar noon.it makes me more energetic in whole afternoon.i will get totally refreshed after nap.

I love naps! I can't remember if I liked them as a child, but I at least tolerated them. The older I got the more I liked them. I do have to be careful not to take them too late in the day or take too long of one, otherwise I too can't sleep at night. I think it helps relieve stress and recharge before continuing the day.

A nap is good if you are tired. But I myself do not take naps because if I do I will not be able to sleep at night. Even if I have not slept well the night before I will not take a nap I just go to bed early and then sleep through the night.

Absolutely! A restful nap once in a while energizes you. It is a great de-stressor and relaxing. I enjoy naps whenever I get time to do that. I think you should start the nap early at about 1 PM and it should not last more than an hour. You will get a restful sleep in the night.

Naps are good because it refreshes you strenght

I love naps and I always have. Even a 10 or 20 minute cat-nap can be refreshing if I'm doing a long drive or something. I go to bed late and get up early so I really need some catch up and this sleep pattern seems to suit me. I used to nap for about 2 hours but now I think it's closer to 3 hours. If you find you can't sleep at night after taking a nap then your night time sleep must be just enough for your needs. Maybe reading for a little while will help you. Just having some quiet time to yourself should be most beneficial. Try meditating too when you are unable to sleep. Just think of a short sentence that gives meaning to your life and repeat it over and over. I say, "Thank you for all I have and all I am" and also "let me be open to the abundance that is mine".

Yeah it is good to take naps but only if you are extremely tired after a long days work or lots of studying.Also if you have eaten a lot then if you take a nap everything will go well with you.I mostly do not sleep in the afternoons as i too do not get sleep at night.I will try to work in the afternoon the best i can or play some online games to keep myself awake.Yes having a nap in the afternoon refreshes the mind for the next section of studies.

I like to take a short time nap during lunch time too. Usually, I would like to skip my lunch, and have a nice nap before going back to work again. It just funny that I felt so sleepy during the noon time. I would like some rest before I head back to work again.

hmm, i think i'm really a great fan of nap. if no nap, i cant focus on the job or study in the afternoon and evening. sound like incredible, right? but it's really true to me. i cant explain why. but will catch every chance to have a nap after lunch. i believe it's good to health too.

Hello Laydee, I like to take nap. I enjoy taking nap, a long hours nap. When I was in the school days , I used to take nap after school. This was because I got to wake up early in the morning, about 6 am. It did make up feel better after nap, hence I can continue the rest of the daily routine. If I over sleep inthe nap, I could have a bad time at night, getting hard to fall asleep, LOL. After I start the office lady job, I no longer can take my nap. I still need to wake up in the morning, but too bad no nap for me. this has last for a few years... After I get married I quit the job and I have my baby, I have my nap again. I take my nap with my baby. And after my second child is born, I no longer hhave time to nap anymore. Busy with 2 kids and house chores...

if i dont have much sleep then a nap will help a lot for me. sometimes i dont have much sleep so i always take nap during free time or break time. it helps me regain my energy for a while.
