sometimes the world around you is a cold place , and you really don't want to think too .. if I think about it the term nap would kinda mean to my point of view just some of your brain not working so hard - so if you find me staring at something and relaxing , the difference between sleep besides dreams is incomparable ..

i am able to understand how do you enjoy your nap. a nap after work is always enjoyable. After the nap you will definitely enjoy your rest day with full energy. enjoy your afternoon nap.

I used to work overnights, so I would go home and sleep for a couple of hours and that was it... It was a killer not to ever get anything in but a couple of hours sleep, so I totally feel your pain!

I am one who cannot nap during the day and have tried then wake up with a headache. My boyfriend, although he works during the day likes to take naps when ever he can.
I find that if I was to lay down it is hard to get back up, so for this reason I try not to nap. I have once in a while but again, I don't know why the headaches happen to I don't try to make it a habit.
Enjoy your naps.

I also had this bitter experience. Once i went to bed in the afternoons, i wanted to sleep tow-three hours. this can#t be called nap. it should be called sound sleep. those days i had problem with my eyes and glass. that was the reason. But I love this nap. now my children are big enough. they don't disturb me.

It is nice to hear that schools allow time for nap for children. Enough sleep is a basic needs. my night sleep is always disturbed by my hubby's midnight work. I have no escape. i have to bear this small disturbance.

When I was younger I hate to take afternoon naps. It gets away my playing time but my mom force me to because she said I would easily grow up if I take my nap.
When I was older, I tend to like afternoon naps because I can get time to daydream about anything I like.
Now, I try to avoid it already because I find it hard to sleep at night if a take afternoon naps. I usually use my afternoon time reading novels when I don’t have work.

I love sleeping and taking naps and anything that has to do with sleeping lol. I usually avoid taking naps because I know if I try and take one, I'll be sleeping for hours and hours. That's how I am. Once I sleep, I won't be waking up for hours so yeah I usually avoid taking naps.

I really love taking naps especially in the afternoon...it refresh me in the afternoon and puts me in a good mood.And the good thing of taking afternoon naps is that you don't get easily sleepy at night time so more t.v time for me...

What you told is correct. But I am not so interested in TV. I prefer mylot than TV. whenever i have nap I happily be with mylot till late night. But i feel lazy to get up in the morning. i find it difficult to bring a proper routine.

I love a little sleep in the afternoons as I find it really refreshing, and it doesn't stop me sleeping at night. In certain countries it's considered very normal to have a siesta, so I don't think anybody should beat us up for doing it.

I usually take a nap every Saturday afternoon, because it's a half day reporting to work.
As soon as i have finished with the dishes for lunch, i would go to our bedroom, watch TV and when 3:00 p.m. comes , i would take my nap. I nap to catch up with my lack of sleep for the past weekdays, where i have to always wake up early, just not to get late to work.
I love the feeling after i have taken my Saturday afternoon nap!

Yes I do it everyday, as if I am sick if I did not take a nap in the afternoon. Just to lie down my back is good enough as long as I rest it for a while. That's made me feeling better.

If I could, I would nap daily. Even on weekends, I can't really take naps because it seems we are always busy doing something. If I didn't have to work full days, I would totally nap.
My kids are only 4 and 6, however, and they do pretty good at entertaining themselves. Still, I think I would worry about what they were getting into if I took a nap. This might just be an irrational fear, too.

Once I also faced a problem like this. When my children were small i couldn't nap. But now they are eleven and eight. they can take care of themselves while their mummy has a nap. they know if they let me have a nap i will be a good mother for them for the rest of the day.

I am lucky that I am a house wife. so I can sleep whenever i want. I have a problem in my life that my hubby comes home always late night. because of this my night sleep is always disturbed. so some times I take a nap.
