Poll: Napping

Re: Poll: Napping

  • I can't nap. Even during first tri exhaustion, I don't seem to be able to fall sleep during the day
  • I have the opposite problem. I take naps multiple times a week and I don't feel like this is normal for an adult.

    I took a 3 hour nap yesterday after work. I'll probably take another one today.

  • I don't nap. I try. I lay down. I never ever fall asleep. Cannot turn my mind off during the day.
  • I love naps.

    However, I can't just take a nap to take a nap, I have to want to take a nap - if that makes sense.

    Saturday we spent some time in downtown Chicago, we came back to the hotel for Zac's nap, the room was all dark and quiet - so I napped too.

    I hate when you wake up from a nap and you're all confused, like it's 6:30 and dark ... is it AM or PM. How long was I asleep??

  • I try to nap every day. It makes me a nicer person.
  • A couple times a week I will take a nap when the kids are napping. It all depends on how well I slept the night before. But, since I don't work nights anymore my schedule is finally getting back on a normal schedule so I have been napping less often. I could sleep at anytime during the day no problem, it's sleeping at night that somehow doesn't seem to work with me :-( 
  • I never nap normally, but I nap about once or twice a week now that I am pregnant again.  I'm just so freakin tired.

  • Before Tessa, I would nap almost everyday with Taryn. Since Tessa, I'll still nap a couple of times a week--but only when they both decide to sleep at the same time.

    I love naps :)

  • I usually nap once a week or once every other week.  If we are out late on Saturday night I will nap on Sunday.  Otherwise, I typically don't nap...I tend to wake up in a cranky mood and get nothing done for the rest of the day.
  • I used to be a big napper, not so much in recent years. I would fall asleep after work a lot during the first tri though!

  • I've never really been able to nap, and in the rare instances where I do fall asleep, I always wake up feeling disjointed and mixed up.  It makes me feel like it's morning again, and then I'm usually a waste the rest of the night.

  • I love a nap on the weekend. Especially since I've been getting up early to run on the weekends (sometimes as early as 6:15 for a 7am run). The best is when I run at 7, watch the MSU football game at 9am, and then around noon I curl up on the loveseat with my book. Best. day. ever.
  • In College I napped most afternoons from like 3-5.  AMAZING.  Oh, College.

    Now, nearly never.  When I was home with Jane I used to lay down and watch TV while she napped (productive!) and sometimes doze but not often.

  • I am incapable of napping.  If I intend to "just take a nap" I usually end up out for like 6 hours.  I did this earlier this year.  I got home from work around 5 & intended on napping before choir @ 7.  Ended up waking up @ 11pm & then could not get back to sleep til like 3am.  Sucked.

  • I'm not a napper. If I do ever fall asleep on a weekend afternoon, I wake up with a headache and feeling like crap, so I avoid naps.

  • If I end up laying with Collin during his nap I almost always fall asleep. I don't want to or mean to but it happens almost every time.

  • I friggin' love naps! My idea of a nap consists of stripping down to PJs, climbing into bed with the blinds closed and sleeping for 2-3 hours. DH's idea of a nap is curling up with a blanket on the couch and dozing on and off. That doesn't count in my book.
