After lun I like to have a nap. Although i am not often have it I could find chance to have a rest. The health time is between 11:00 to 13:00. So after lunch you have a nap it is good for health. Now many people spend more entertainment times at night and we can not go to bed early. The little nap can help us recover our energy. Do not often drink more coffee. You can not nod off in the afternoon after drinking more coffee or tea. However it is not best way. Do you like have a nap after lunch?

Yes I do have a nap after lunch, but not everyday, I am an early riser and so tend to feel a little sleepy after lunch. I take a nap for less than half an hour only usually.

Hi yogambal: I am so jelous even if you don't take a nap everyday just because i can not do this even if i would like to do it: my job, my homework. I seldom sleep after a lunch but I remember those days when i could do this. my grandma and ants love to do this everyday and it's simply frustrating that i can't. It makes me feel better for the rest of the day. Thanks for your answer. Hope you are having a nice day. -Alvaro.

Hi, kevinll. Yes, I do end up having an nap after lunch. Whenever I eat, I get drowsy to the point of sleeping and dozing off. This happens to me all of the time. I can't control this. Even if I eat a light meal, I may still get drowsy. As far as it being good for ones health has been undecided. I know that going to sleep after eating a big meal can lead to weight gain. I don't know how it would be if you would have a light lunch.

Hi,cream97, it is not easy to control the drowsy after lunch,if i have more time i'd like to eat more, if i can take a nap it will be helpful. Good luck!

No. I believe this is siesta time in Mexico. But I don't take naps during the day. I didn't even sleep last night. I don't sleep a lot. But sometimes I do. I guess I do think that resting is good. And can enhance health. But I don't do it regularly.
