..to have a cheeky afternoon nap?

[DavetheCat2001]

I'll often take the opportunity to have a nap in the afternoon of around 45 mins to an hour before the school run if I can/have finished all my jobs etc.

I kind of feel a bit guilty, but kind of don't.

anyone else?

Crack on! Love a good nap...never get them but I would have one every day if I could.

I love an afternoon nap! Wednesday afternoon is my nap day but, shhh! Don't tell DH!

Go for it!
I've missed my window (kids will be ho e in about 5 mins) and regretting it!

Have an extra ten minutes for me, I have a 5 week old sleep thief, good job he's cute

haha I try and avoid OH knowing too! He's rung me before when I've been snoozing so I've had to appropriate an 'awake' voice quickly!

I think my afternoon naps are leftover from DC's baby/toddler days when I'd grab a nap whoever possible.

I love sleeping.

Only occasionally these days but I am a big fan of the power nap! Mostly 10 minutes but occasionally 20 if I'm unwell, works wonders!

Go for it!!! I never get to nap but have some time off this week. I napped yesterday and felt really groggy after it eurgh. But surprisingly still managed to sleep the whole night last night. Win!

YABU to use the word 'cheeky'.

YANBU. I love a good nap. My problem is that I end up sleeping for longer than I planned even with an alarm, so I don't do it often.

Sorry Dave

I often stumble up the road feeling groggy after a nap..have to pull it together before I get to the gate and people speak to me

Yep! I wfh a lot and often have a nap on my lunch break.

Naps are the best. Love a nap and will have one whenever possible.

Have just woken up from a morning nap, was bliss.

Naps are amazing. I take full advantage of my toddler's preschool days for them. In fact on Monday I had two, one in the morning and one in the afternoon

I would, except my boss comes online at lunchtime and is always pinging me ‘urgently’.

DH is also WFH today and trying to persuade me to ‘go for a nap’ with him. I am making myself very busy on MN.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that at al! Nap as much as you can, I used to, often longer than 45 minutes and never felt guilty. Why the guilt?

I love the actual nap but after one I am majorly irritable and grumpy.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

Why would you hide it from OH? Surely if there's nowt to do it's up to you how you spend your downtime?

I like the idea of it, especially on a day like today, when I'm ill, but have a day to myself. However I always wake up groggy and freezing cold, no matter if I'm under the covers, have loads of clothes on, the heating is on etc. I can't shake the coldness either once it's there. I wish I was good at napping!

Oh I know..just I don't want to rub it in as he'd kill for an afternoon nap!

I hate sleep martyrs. I've met some that treat naps as a moral failing.

You ate healthier and more alert after a nap.

The only time to not nap is if you think it's effecting the quality of your overall sleeping.

I'll quite often have a nap with the cat

The only reason I don’t is because I would sleep through to about 11pm.

Omg yes!!!
Tuesday is my nap day. DS goes down around noon, and it’s the one day a week that DD stays at preschool until 3pm. I get 2.5 hours completely to myself while DS sleeps! I get to have lunch undisturbed, watch what I want on tv and have a cheeky nap I LOVE TUESDAYS!
