Woooow that's weird lol ... how come you ended up sleeping that long ? Until and unless you had some sort of pills ... how can someone fall asleep for an entire day Coming to me ... nope it never happened coz i rarely take small half-an-hour naps

yeah it happens to me sometimes, but I guess its because Im really really tired and every time i decided to go for a nap even just for an half hour i fall asleep into 12 hours or more and it happens in my work. Well that's why if I'm tired I tried to control it and take a short nap surely in my bed...:)

It happened to my only twice in my whole life once when I was a kid and this most recent time, I guess my body just was so exhausted that it just needed to rest though I hope it doesn't happen again I hate wasting a whole day.

It never happened to me, i have so many visitors and phone calls, so if i want to take a nap, i have to swich of my cell phone first, usually I enjoy a nap of about 2 hours in noon in summer, it is necessary, today the temp was 48.5 C, i felt like a fish out of water, switched on the airconditioner and slept for 2 hours.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I hope you had a very good nap. Sometime it happens to me as well but not for the entire day. I plan to sleep for an hour or so but then i end up sleeping for more than 4-5 hours. Have a great day!

No, it never happened to me. I can't sleep for the whole day. Otherwise I will havea headache when I wake up. The most I had ever take a nap for is 3 hours and it is already enough for me. Take care and have a nice day.

I did that a couple of times when I was a teenager. When I got back from summer camp, and then once time when our youth group actually went camping - with a tent and everything. I slept the day away that time because when we went camping the tent leaked and rain flooded the thing. So we spent the night in the van - not a great place to try to sleep. I wish I could go and fall asleep that deeply right now.

That never exactly happened to me because I find it really hard to sleep while the sun is up. But it do sometimes happen to me in the night where i say I am going to take a half hour sleep, then to wake up back to study. But instead i drop asleep and the alarm didnt even budge me and i end up waking it up when it is time to get ready to go to school. Oh darn so I waste so much time sleeping when I could have completed another task. Such is life. The sleep was comfortable and nice though. So relaxing.

Maybe not a 24 hr day! But often when I have tried to take a nap it is at least 4 hrs, often up to 6. I try not to take naps no matter how tired I am because even with a nap I will still sleep a lot more that evening and feel terrible the next day. You may have been staving off some sort of bug, so your body took extra rest to repair itself.

I don't think I ever taking a long nap. Actually, I rarely took a nap unless I was sick. I would waku up jumpy from a nap, so I tried to avoid napping if possible.

Oh dear there is no such thing for me to take a half hour nap it will definitely turn into hours. As for a whole, gosh no that has never happened to me. I have to say you must have been really drained and tired. Maybe that helped to catch up on some rest. Trouble is the next day it may be hard to sleep at a regular hours. Hope all is well.

I normally don't nap, but one rainy day I decided to take a nap after lunch. I woke up in the evening just as it was getting dark. I jumped up, started the pot of coffee, jumped in the shower, and was all ready to go to work. My husband walked in (from his job) and laughed his butt off. I thought it was morning when I woke up, and it was only early evening... This has happened to me a few times.

This just happen to me yest.. I took a nap in the afternoon because had off that day, and what do you know i wake up around 8pm. I was like wow.. I needed to do so much yest to. But it happens.. I guess your body builds up stress and just releases once you fall asleep and just keeps you asleep. But yea i hate it.

Oftentimes it happens to me. I am just planning to take a few minutes nap but it somehow prolongs to hours, but not nearly the whole day. Haha! I really don't sleep that long, I think I wake up w/ a bad feeling or I feel more tired when I sleep longer than 8hrs.
