I slept for three hours during my lunch break

I experienced that before, too. Unlucky if you slept for that long in the office. I would take naps in the afternoon so I could recharge. Sometimes I oversleep. Sometimes I notice that the food I consumed for breakfast can really affect whether I would feel sleepy after a few hours. I noticed that if I just have eggs for breakfast without any meat or anything mixed to it then I am more likely to feel drowsy sooner.

You really must have needed the little bit of sleep. Are you sick? The flu? I can't imagine ever falling asleep like that during the day while being at work. Where do you work? And what did your employer say? I sure hope you are feeling better today. Maybe your medicine made you drowsy.

You are right, maybe you are too weak that is why it takes your body to sleep more hours rather than having a short nap. Get well son my friend

You are lucky enough to have sick room at your work place where you can take medicine and rest. We had a new office where we shifted and they did not have a sick room there. Once i was so sick, i couldn't stand my computer lights even. I was terrifically sick my back was breaking in pain. I was almost fainting, i had to go home on bike because i could not work there. I have left the job now, but i am still not well these days. I hope you feel better, you should take medicine some light dinner and sleep well.

Sounds like you really needed that sleep, take it easy and rest a little. Your body is trying to tell you something.

You can immediately fall asleep , which means you are too tired and you really need that sleep. Our body is not a machine, sometimes it lodges a protest. Hope you can feel better after the sleep. In fact, I sleep after lunch every day even if I don't want to sleep, it has been a habit of me, I feel energetic after the nap. Thanks for sharing, and have a nice day!

I know that feeling. I was that way in early January when I had my third major cold of the winter season. Fortunately it actually cured the insomnia I'd been having for the last year and actually got me sleeping on a normal schedule again! :) I'm feeling better now, and I hope you'll feel better soon too.

It sounds like you needed a nap. I'm glad you got some rest.

it's flu ,i aslo feel not well because of flu.the tempreature of my room is so high ,and the indoor stale air made me suffacate.so recently i have a habit of sleeping 2 hours after lunch

Oh, I hope you felt better after sleeping for three hours. I couldn't sleep at work even though I am really sleepy. The noise around me makes my mind awake. I am having my part time job in the morning from 8am to 12 noon and my full time (regular) job at 2pm to 11pm. I only have four to six hours sleep nowadays. I felt so sleepy last night around 9pm. I really had to fight my sleepiness because I still had my classes until 11pm. I hope I won't feel the same tonight. Get well soon. :)

Maybe it is because you are not feeling well. Our body adjust automatically for it needs. It's good that you have rested (although it happens in the office) At least you were able to have a good rest not to worsen your health problem.

yes, you must have a good rest. I guess you give yourself too much pressure. so take care of yourself and have a relax mood everyday. i believe, if we work on it with a happy mood, you will enjoy your work and do not feel so tired. keep going. thank you andy from jtyhair

Well, i think you are alone in your office, that's why you can sleep as long as you want to without getting a memo afterwards. Besides, your medicine since you aren't feeling well made you slept like that. However, in our office if you aren't feeling well, you can file undertime immediately so you can go home.

You were probably tired

Sleep is how I respond to illness too, be it the cold, the crud, the flu, what have you. While you were snoring your body was working and getting things done.

I wish I have the excuse of sickness to have a little more sleep. It's cold and I want to hibernate really badly.

you have such good co workers and boss. they did not bother you while you were sleeping for hours. and they understood what you are going through. that is such great to know.
