Cat Naps

Sometimes, but I have to say not very often. I simply do not have the time for it most of the time.

I go in spurts. Sometimes, I take naps daily, and then for months, I won't take any. I do know I can't take a 20 minute nap. I don't fall asleep for 20 minutes +... My naps are usually an hour and some times longer, like 2 hours. AND I don't have a problem getting to sleep at night. Of course, I don't go to bed until midnight or later. But I'm usually up at 6 to let one of my dogs out.

micronaps make me more tired. if it's not at least 90 minutes,i'd rather stay up.otherwise,i'll just wake disoriented.

I think anything less than an hour or two just makes me feel worse. 20 to 30 minutes would give me enough time to doze off just before I have to wake up again. I couldn't handle that. I only nap when I desperately need to, which thankfully isn't too often.

Hello Laglen, I'd like to be able to take cat naps. But I'm not. When I put my head on a pillow, either I sleep for an hour or two , or I don't sleep at all. I can't wake up after 20 or 30 minutes or if I do, I get up more tired and nervous. That's why I try not to sleep in the afternoon, because I don't have so much time. It would be better if I could sleep each afternoon for 20 minutes - this is an amount of time I could find, but I prefer not to sleep at all rather than sleep 20 minutes and get up more tired and nervous.

That's not possible for me the shortest nap I can take is about an hour my body just won't allow anything else. I can relax for like a half hour but no sleeping .

My cats do and watching them all cute an sleepy makes me then fall asleep. Guess I should not be at home all day watching the cats.

I cannot do this. I wish. If i go in for a nap I put aside an hour or so for it. It usually takes me quite some time to actually get to sleep. At least 20 minutes.

It's absolutely normal to feel that way. So, Here's the deal. Your body doesn't know whether you're taking a nap during the day or going to bed for the night. If you take a 20-30 minute nap your body stays alert and all the processes are running. When that nap goes over 30 minutes the main body processes like digestion stop or significantly slow down and the body thinks that you will rest for the next 7-8 hours but when you wake up after an hour, you feel tired. So, 20-30 minute naps are perfectly healthy during the day, but no more than that.
