I admit that I snooze every day. You can't hold that against me because I typically wake up exhausted. I go to bed immediately after my classes at midnight and get up at roughly five in the morning. I had to take my power nap after lunch because of this. If I don't, I can be certain that I will be dead tired on my feet before my afternoon classes until after midnight online.

Bless your heart. You need a whole day just to catch up on your sleep, don’t you. I used to not be able to take naps even if I didn’t sleep the night before. Nowadays, I can get a good nap, and it isn’t enough.
You’re a hard worker, and I hope people see that.

I will take it as a compliment. Thank you very much. I was trying to balance everything as much as possible. I need to work harder right after the pandemic. Besides, I just want to make myself busy because losing a mom three years ago made me feel like missing her day by day.

I take breakfast naps before late morning to feel refreshed and go to work,

I understand your situation and it makes sens to have power naps with your schedule. From my childhood, I have not been fond of naps and prefer sound and deep sleep at night. I do take naps when i am sick or tired and it is comparatively less. For me , naps could be anywhere between 15 minutes to 2 hours. Worse part for me is that my night sleep gets delayed even if i take power nap of jut 10 or 15 minutes. Perhaps thats what my body and mind is programmed for. I am aware of people who take power naps and that gets them refreshed and better going through the days.

I still remember during my childhood years. Our biological parents require us to sleep in the afternoon. As they claimed that it will make us grow taller, among the other reasons. It was funny that one of our childhood friends's grandfathers used to stay at the bedside and let us sleep in the afternoon. He was quite a traditional old folk in the past.
I also think that I might not sleep late at night if doing the power nap. The funny thing is that it did not apply to me. I still sleep like a lard.

I do when I need to. But it's not a daily habit. I had to wake George I think to get him to take his night pill on time.

@Shavkat Our lives seem to dictate when we sleep and wake. Before someone figured out what a clock was, people often slept not long after the sun went down and woke with the sun. That was your clock.

Yes! I personally have Elhers Danlos Syndrome so I take naps frequently! It’s recommended due to lack of sleep on a nightly basis, if I don’t nap it can cause serious memory issues/brain fog/irritability. My naps last for three hours at time! Then I sleep anywhere from four hours to thirteen. My record is eighteen hours!

Why are your classes scheduled until midnight? Taking naps during the say should be helpful. I used to take a lot of naps at daytime, but for some reason, I rarely get sleepy now. I think the noise of the building constructions nearby is disturbing my daytime nap.
