Taking a nap during lunch break.

well lunch breaks are meant to take lunches and not to take a nap or else it would have been named as nap break.lol. i usually don't take a nap as i don't feel sleepy at night if i go for a nap.

Hi ardoy0731, the weather here in the scorching afternoon always makes me feeling drowsy right after I have just finished my lunch. Yeah, this is why I like enjoying a short nap for half an hour or so after the lunch. I will go for my part time work after the nap as long I reach the office before 1:20pm The short nap makes me energetic in the workplace. Happy posting

I used to work with an attorney who would take a nap at work so he could stay longer at work. If he didn't get his nap he left at 6pm, if he did get a nap, which he tried to do if he didn't have anything to do that day, i.g. court or a deposition, he would leave much later. You should take time to rest during the day, lunch in a great time to relax because you are going to need that kindergarten nap to recharge for the rest of the day.

MyLot!!! Unless of course there are things that need to be finished at the office. Or sometimes, when I have a project at my night job, I also take a nap because when I have a night job, I only get a max of 3 hours sleep. I have a sofa in my office and it really feels good to take a nap in it.

I know that it is not a good idea to use my brain, but I'm afraid of sleeping overtime. So I just spend my time to read or watch a short movie, then I wash my face and have a coffee, after that I'm good enough to the afternoon work.

Normally during my lunch break, I either do homework or sometimes go online to mylog and discuss a bit since it seems to be the only time I have available to do so. I do however find myself wanting to nap and luckily I have an office with a door, so sometimes I close the door, turn off the lights and just relax during my 1 hour lunch break.

Taking a nap is always good for health, but going to sound sleep in the afternoon after lunch is really bad going. I had this habit of sleeping when i was in vacation during my college times and i was feeling really dizzy and sleepy all the time once i got off sleep in the afternoon as i was sleeping for about 2-3 hours which was bad.But i do hear from health experts and also read some health magazines about this and confirm that taking a nap for 30 minutes is very good for health and not more than that

We can't really do that. My dad is a workaholic that doesn't believe in breaks. At 12:00 we eat for like 15-20min and its back to work. If he sees us taking a small break he'll ask what we're doing "just standing/sitting around." He just like to get things done quick. Sometimes its hard, especially if we are in the part of digging or destroying parts of the houses (we work in the construction field). After we get to the painting part it isn't that bad but still bad enough because of the soreness of our arms.

When I used to work in my last part time job, if I was working all day, I would go up on the roof where my car was parked, eat lunch in my car and have a sleep. I really needed a power nap and I would waken feeling much refreshed and it would be much easier to finish the day's work.

Hi ardoy! Our lunch break is the same, 12-1. But I don't really take a nap during that time. I was always told by my mother to sleep during lunch breaks but I just prefer surfing the net or talking to friends during that free time. And they say, sleeping after eating makes you fat and I don't wanna get fat so I don't sleep at that time. Sometimes I take a nap when I'm really sleepy or if I'm bored from surfing the net or there's no one to talk to. But most of the times, I really fight it also because there might be a telephone call or someone might come to the office. ^^

It is good to have a nap during your lunch hour. In according to an article I read, you nap is not supposed to be more than 20 minutes. However, it will be a very bad impression to other people when you take a nap in the office. ha! ha! Although a short nap will be good to us, I shall not keep this as my habit.

Some of my office mates takes a nap when 12 strikes. Then at 12:45 they will awaken and eat their lunch. Me, i would get our General Manager's newspaper and read it, standing. That way, i get to rest my tummy and hopefully it will not get big.

I usually go out w/ my officemates on a lunchbreak so that I wont get sleepy.Coz when I get sleepy it tends to get me tired and with that I wont be able to concentrate on my assigned tasks anymore.I also drink coffee to keep me awake.. %)

I did this when I was still working in an office then my midriff started to grow flabbier, ahahaha! I wanted to do it the other way around, I mean, sleep first then eat lunch. I actually did try and I would have continued doing it if I weren't ask all the time if I was feeling alright.

Since I am working at a full time job I do not get a chance to take a nap after lunch. Most of the time it is work immediately after having a lunch. But on the days that I am at home I have my lunch at around 2 in the afternoon and then take a nap for an hour or so. That is if I am not watching something interesting on television. I need a cup of nice hot coffee after waking up.

I don't work so I can nap anytime I like. I never had a job where I could take a nap, but I think it is a good idea. Everyone hits a time period where they get tired. After a nap you have more energy and can make better decisions. I think that would be really helpful at work.

On my lunch break, I usually go out to my car and read a book. I work on the phones everyday and all day long. So, on that hour, it is "me" time and I can read and relax. I enjoy the peace and quiet during that hour and I am not bothered by loud noises like I am while I am on the phone. So, it is nice to have some "me" time, even though it is only for an hour each and every day. It is nice!

No doubt nap in afternoon is good for our health. Half hour nap in afternoon is better than three our night sleep. It increase working capacity. I also like nap after lunch. But sound sleep in afternoon is not good for us.

We have the same hour of lunch break. but during that period i read news on the net. Then at around 1240 i take a nap like about 10 to 15 minutes jsut to rest my eyes.

There is no way i could take a nap on my lunch break. I can not fall asleep fast at all. Every night I will lay in the bed, and it takes forever for me to fall asleep! That makes it to where I stay tired and sleepy all day long though.
