How about an afternoon nap.?

I am retired and have a rather strange schedule. Usually up late but occasionally I do have a nap and then up for awhile and then nap again. Crazy. I guess whatever makes us happy with the life we are leading is just fine.

Here in my country, we have this habit called Siesta wherein during noon time; we do take a nap or rest after a good lunch and morning activity. I don’t find it wrong taking an afternoon nap; it’s also a good way of recharging yourself so as when you will wake up you can perform better since you had relaxed your body.

I never had afternoon naps during most of my life. But when I started with chemotherapy, my body simply had to sleep after lunch. I could not have my eyes open. I decided it was absurd to fight against it as I`m retired and can do what I need to do when I want to. Later I kept on doing it and now I hardly ever skip it.

Before I used to do that when my shift was 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. I usually took a nap at 3:00 pm. I did it for about 30 mins. But now, unfortunately even if I feel so sleepy I cannot afford to look for a bed or a room to take rest because we move already to another office without a pantry and a room with television and sofa (don't know for the exact term. lol)It feels good when we take a nap during afternoon. Really

I like afternoon naps too and always take one during holidays and vacations. Usually I get out of the house at 5:45am and reach home at 4:30pm due to my tuition and college . I feel really and sleepy during my lectures,everyone in my class does and this really irritates our lecturers. Everyone has plans of what they would do on holidays but I just dream of having a good uninterrupted sleep and waking up in a pleasant mood!

I sleep whenever I am sleepy. But if its already too late, I force myself to stay awake because if I sleep, I'll be awake for like the whole night. And the problem with me is that when I take a nap in the afternoon, it's not a nap at all, when I wake up, I'll be continuing my sleep, sometimes from like 1 or 2 in the afternoon, I would go sleeping until tomorrow morning. haha! That's me. When I sleep, I sleep, no naps for me. Sometimes, I do, but its rare. =)

I am working in an office and so I do not sleep during the afternoon. I used to sleep during the Sundays in the afternoon. I like to sleep during Sundays and thinks I feel rested after that.

I really never have gotten used to napping in the afternoon. Even when I was a kid, my nanny would always be by my side to make sure that I would take my nap. But i just couldn't. I would just lie down for an hour and then get out of my bed. But I do sleep early all the time back then.

Well, this your thread, it is just right for me. I also do more or less an hour or two every day I take my afternoon nap classic, in the afternoon. I just I need in the afternoon nap, More or less our family lunch around 1:00 pm. Before 2:00 pm I finished eating and I'm going to lie down on the bed. I turn off the phone and I sleep, when I wake up, it does not matter. Next week I have a number of commitments by which my afternoon nap will unfortunately shorter!

Hi, I am retired person now. So I have the habit of taking nap in the mid afternoon. After lunch I feel sleepy. When i am working I don't feel sleepy.

I have the same hahit as you. I take a nap after lunch every day since I was a high school student. I can't concentrate on my study or my work if I don't take a nap. Usually I take a nap about one hour , it is enough for me to regain my energy. Now I have worked for 15 years, I have a family and child, I still have the habit. Glad to know that we have the same habit. Have a good time!

well, I have no habit for taking a nap in the afternoon. just seldom when I am really tired I would fell in sleep for sometime in mid of day.. well,,, when I take a nap in the afternoon after I wake up I feel too lazy and feel not fresh... that is why I avoid myself for nap of mid day.

I don't like afternoon nap. Because it feels me lazy. Sometimes after a lot of work, I take a small nap, but when I get up it feels lazy and dizzy. So, I don't like.
