If you love a nap how old are you?

[mamareg]

I'm 57 and I'd say I've been loving a nap for at least 5 years. Used to also have them when younger if I'd had a busy day.

Just curious to see if anyone else loves naps and how old you are? I wondered if it's an age thing but I didn't think I was old yet 🙈

42, but I also loved a nap when I was a lot younger, I just didn’t realise what a privilege it was

35, I nap almost every day. I can't sleep at night very well though

I had two naps today and am just going to bed now. 56

Mid 40s.
love a nap on a weekend.
normally Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours curled up on the sofa.
during lockdown I napped every afternoon for an hour and it really made a difference to my energy levels.

I have a buggered thyroid so struggle nowadays with tireness

I'm 29 and always loved a nap if I dont have a nap i always get a early night 😴

45 but I've been napping since my early 20s.

Twins!

Mid 40's and I do like a nap but I also remember coming in from high school and napping. I've always loved a nap.

early 40s love a nap

I love naps (aka snoozes) ; they were a weekend fixture from 25-40 which is the age I was when DD now 7 (tragically IMO) dropped hers… I miss them ++.

I’m having a shit time at work at the moment however an unexpected upside of being sidelined, bored and WFH is renewed nap-opportunities ..

44 but usually when poorly or haven't slept well due to snoring dh

I can nap through a film like a pro!

Love naps, when I visited my mum 30 plus years ago, she would look after my little one so I could have a few hours nap. I am 59 in two weeks

I love my sleep. Naps are and always have been the best thing ever!

I wish I could nap!
I wish I could sleep a whole night!
I’ve never had a nap and I used to be in bed at 8pm and sleep well, now I’m lucky if I’m asleep before 11pm !
when I worked nights years ago, my colleague used to have a 30 minute nap and wake up like she’d been asleep for a whole night!
i used to be one of those who if slept I sleep deep so I would wake up feeling rubbish!

62 and work 52 hrs a week. No time for naps!

I try and have a nap every day. I'm 38

31 and have found a reason to nap more or less daily since being 18... dodgy work schedules, late nights out planned, having babies, older children not sleeping well during the night... im sure as im older there will be new reasons

How is everyone fitting their naps around work? Do you all work from home or what?

50 but have always loved a nap. I started napping again during lockdown when I wfh. I still nap occasionally when I wfh now, but mostly at weekends.

56 - but Ive always loved a nap

I’m 41 and think I’ve always napped from my 20s! Work part time but most of my days off I have a nap! I definitely napped when the dd did!

I sleep enough over 8 hours most nights but always tired! Luckily my dd (now 12yo) slept through the night from 10 weeks, even our dog does 8.30-7.30!!

blood thyroids all fine! Dp 44 has started to nap in last 6 months he’s up at 4am

I've always loved naps. When I was in secondary school we had a half day every Wednesday and I loved nothing more than coming home and getting back into bed. Still have a nap most days when I can at the ripe old age of 42. Does it mean something? I just thought i like sleeping lol

35 - love a nap. Have done since high school.

I can nap anywhere if necessary - the cars a favourite if not at home. Will survive without with a well timed strong coffee but don’t enjoy it 🤣

I’m 30 and I love a nap 😍

When my children were babies/toddlers (3 very close in age) I used to love putting us all in the big bed together for a lunch time nap.

DC3 is 5, starts school in mid-August, but the last few years while the older two are at school, she loves to have a post-lunch snuggle which inevitably turns into a post-lunch snooze for both of us.

Early 60s. A thirty minute power nap works wonders.
