So Quiet I Actually Took a Nap!

I just love to get time to myself to do my own thing. I like it when it's quiet - when there's just me and two cats sleeping on the rug. I can watch TV, get on with a bit of writing - and just chill. Even though I've got health problems myself, I don't feel the need to be pampered all the time. My husband pampers me like mad - and much as I enjoy it, sometimes I think "Enough's enough!" and I just want to be by myself. In response to your question about napping - I'm not a napper! When I go to sleep, I stay asleep for HOURS!! Wish I could power-nap. They say it's good for stress.

I don't normally agree with sleeping during the day as it tends to mean that I won't be able to sleep that night. However, I do find that when I am bored and nobody else is at home, I do end up having a small sleep when I don't really mean to. You should try and find something else to do rather than sleep. When I have nothing to do, I try to go for a short walk and that wakes me up. Or, I will find a new book to read for a couple of hours before there is something better that I need to do rather than being bored.

I love when there are times when it is so quiet and I am laying with my cat and we both end up falling asleep. Sometimes it is just so nice to have a good nap when everything around you is quiet.

I like peace and quiet. I take an occasional nap when my sleep schedule deems it necessary. I have sleep problems and go through different sleep times. I do like to hear the rest of the family roaming around the house. I don't care for alot of noise. That is changing with the weather. My grandson is having friends over and some are so noisy.

How's your condition now? I hope you're recovering well. Take some rest now. I'd prefer to be alone when I'm sick so I can rest. I take naps if I have free time.

The body require time to rest in order to work properly later. The mind in particular cannot work well without resting. I do take a nap which works well for me because later I am as good as new. Taking a nap at the right time is a factor to consider. When unhealthy, you need more rest than work.

I've been taking naps of late. But I think that it is because of the pain I've been in. The pain has kind of decreased (until today when I broke my big toe) and I am feeling more chipper. I do better being alone when I'm sick. I don't want people bugging me and checking on me constantly. My boyfriend, who lives a couple of doors away, will come in in the morning, afternoon and evening to check on me but he doesn't hover so I get peaceful sleep. There has been only one time when I wanted someone with me when I was sick. I was living in Montana and during Spring Break I got the measles. I was sooooo sick I couldn't move from the couch. I had a four year old daughter and needed someone to help. My boyfriend then didn't come near the house. It was up to my daughter and myself. My daughter would get her breakfast and would fix a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. I would literally crawl into the kitchen to fix my daughter's dinner. I would get everything ready and on the dinner plate and she would sit at the coffee table to eat dinner. She was really great because not only did she take care of herself and make sure she went to bed, but she also helped me by bringing me water and tea and whatever else I needed. Even now, 30 years later I am still so proud of my daughter for being such a grown up during that time! I made sure that I rewarded her big time for that, right after I dumped the no good boyfriend who didn't give a darn about me.

It is more common to take short naps during day times and may be during other times also. Short naps generally gives a recharge feeling and it was scientifically proved that short naps are healthy in nature and nothing to worry about. A company during that naps is not at all necessary because it is sole action and sole satisfaction.

hi there, i always prefer to be alone and be in a quiet environment but then sometimes i turn the music on too. but there are times too that i want to go out and just be with my friends and love ones. i have been sick too but i am feeling better now. i hope you feel better too. you need some more rest. take care

I often take a nap after my lunch. It is the good way to keep me awake in whole afternoon. I think take a nap is very very good, especially at noon, then your body can be restored for a while...if not, you may feel tired in the afternoon because of a long day of work.

I usually take naps in the afternoon when I have a rest day at work during weekends. Afternoon is the best time because it's when you have nothing to do and the heat in the afternoon makes you feel sleepy. I normally fall asleep while watching TV, lying on the couch.

Hi NailTech, sorry you are not feeling well, but i do know the feeling I have been feeling poorly for the last 4 days and it hasn't been good at all..I uunderstand there is smething going around and lots of people are feeling bad...and frankly speaking that the only time I can nap during the day is when am sick...once I see daylight I am surely up for the day, even if I lay down I till can't go back to sleep. I don't mind being along either, as long as someone knows I am not well and calls every so often to check on me....I am fine with that...

well i don't take nap during the day.but when i isn't sleep enough at night ,the other day i may have a nap .it's help you with the health ,if you feel uncomfortable and tired then take a nap will help you.when you wake up you're become comfortable and happiness.

I know that when I'm sick, I do not like company. Because I am not ever 'good' company when I am sick, I am usually also crabby as a result. I guess if it were something major I wouldn't want to be alone, just in case something were to happen... Anyway. Best of luck with your health problems. And congrats on a nap!

Yes, I usually take short naps during the day, especially after lunch before I go back to my work. It's good for our health, it enables us to give our mind, and our eyes, some rests.
