Drawn towards an afternoon snooze - early 60's

[EnergyEmoji]

I hate waking up in the morning!

It takes me several coffees and a good couple of hours before I feel in any way civilised and part of the human race.

I have noticed that as I age (currently 61) I feel more and more drawn to a siesta in the afternoon. I'm currently fighting it as I don't want to have to 'wake up' twice a day!

Dh thinks I'm nuts. He can sleep anywhere, anytime with no ill effects.

Should I keep fighting or is this an inevitable sign of aging?

It is a Power Nap. Go forth 🛌💪

@pinkgown 🤣😊😴🥱💤

My Scottish dad used to call a short nap ‘a five or a ten’.

Enjoy a nap OP. I’m one of those people who can sleep anywhere and upright, but I always wake up early even if I’ve only had a few hours sleep at night.

Definitely do it
I've had an afternoon nap for years( don't work due to disability now but still)

I started back at the gym this week, went three times. Today I've had two naps - one was a lie in sort of going back to sleep, and the other was a mid afternoon snooze. Bliss. Absolutely no guilt here. Mid 40s.

I often benefit from a quick nap after lunch- particularly if I've done an exercise class in the morning. Early 50s. Go for it OP!
