To just have a little nap

[Blarblarblar]

I went to work this morning feeling pretty shit. Slept most of yesterday but still full of the cold today. Left work this afternoon to work from home but I'm struggling to stay awake.
Is it very bad to just have a wee nap?

Isn't that what "working from home" is? I am supposed to be working from home today and my boss is going to be so annoyed with myack of progress (I am self employed!).

Have a nap. You'll be more productive afterwards. Hope you feel better soon.

I once read that 14 minutes was the optimum power nap time.

I quite often set my phone alarm for 16 minutes (2 to fall asleep) and power nap. Feel fantastic afterwards. I wouldn't recommend napping on the bed, because I find it harder to get up again. Do a seated nap on the sofa (don't recline) or put a pillow on a desk and sleep leaning forward.

Well if the lovely ladies of mumsnet say it's ok then it must be! Thanks however carrie I'll be crawling into my pit. I feel shit
It's a glorious day here as well just to add to guilt.

I always thought 45 was a power nap?

Do it!

You don't have to tell me twice clothes off pjs on, bed = bliss

I think it's really amazing just how little time can make you feel great again.

I am always surprised by how little sleep I seem to need to feel good in myself!

I'm working from home today and just woke up after a 20 minute nap - go for it!!

well im not ill but have just had an hr nap

in my defence i did blitz my sons room so i dont feel guilty

enjoy

YANBU.

I had a 2.5 hr nap after the school run this morning. Glorious.

I love a nap, instant recharge

DCs dad has taken the two little ones to collect the big one from school and I am just about to have my nap, night mn, will see you in an hour (5 week old will be ready for feeding about then)

Nap always makes me feel better!

I'm just up from a nap. I highly recommend it. Enjoy your snooze.

First day of maternity leave for me today - I've had two naps

Helloo fellow nappers well my nap was rudely interrupted by the window cleaner. Thought I'd leave windows open and curtains open to ease my guilt for sleeping on a sunny day, I don't know why but it seemed rude to close the curtains ..........busted. I'm not sure he thinks very well of me anyway considering he has also caught me spooning peanut butter and Nutella straight out the jar while in my pjs in the afternoon before. In my defence I had just found out I was pregnant and in shock.

tootsie your allowed to nap in fact it's the LAW!!!!

Naps are great! But Carries - I'm jealous, it takes me ages to fall asleep (night time or nap time) - how on earth do you do it in 2 minutes?

I know I have to do all kinds of mind tricks most nights.
However being a bit sick no probs out like a light in fact I'm heading back now I've been up dealt with kids sleep is calling

I love afternoon naps.
They're better if I can convince the cat to have one too!

Glitteryfrog, I had a lunchtime nap today and woke up with three cats in bed with me!

I had two naps yesterday! 37 weeks, and the constant walking up the stairs to go pee must have taken it out of me

Very jealous of the PP who falls asleep in two minutes! How?!
