Napping

[KPHJB]

Ok so hear me out. Ever since I was a teen I have napped at sometime during the day if possible. This includes whilst at uni, working full, partime, no kids, kids and so on. Now Im in my 30s and I shut my eyes during the day at least 4 times a week. Out of curiosity,does anyone else do this?

I love a nap but unfortunately can only really fit in one a week at the moment.

Only whilst pregnant. When not, i certainly get tired in the day (3:30pm it peaks) but don't nap. I'm either working or looking after kids & it wouldn't occur to me if I wasn't.
Sleep rhythms are habitual though aren't they? Hard to break a sleep habit.

I'm a nap queen. I will always have a nap if there's any chance if it. I drift off easily, don't wake up groggy and sleep perfectly well come bedtime. I'm mid 30's and have done it since I was 18, through jobs (would nap in my office or car), pregnancies, kids etc etc. Some of us are born nappers! I don't get it when people say they can't nap

Wish I could take a nap in the day :( They're good for you, apparently are natural sleep routine would be biphasic and I think most of us feel that urge around 3pm. Maybe on maternity leave I will manage it if 2 year old DD will still nap well :)

Will do if I get the chance. I love a nap!

Always nap for 15 mins in the services on a long car journey.

And any other time I can manage!

Good to know I'm not alone 😃

I really wish I could nap. But any time I tried it I woke up like a zombie and felt a bit out of it and queasy for a while. Not a good thing!

But each to their own. I envy people who can nod off at ease during the day, I wish I could.

I do envy nappers. I can only sleep during the day if I am really I'll and then only if properly tucked up in bed in a dark room. Otherwise it's impossible. I long to sleep on long journeys at unsocial hours. DH could fall asleep stood on one leg

Yes! Yogi you sound like we are on the same wave length x

I luurrvvveee napping. When I was at high school I would regularly nap after school. That was probably cos I would stay up late watching telly. Throughout uni I was renowned for being able to fall asleep anywhere. I still nap now and sometimes it's out of necessity cos I don't sleep well at night so will have a catch up nap. I know I shouldn't but will probably do so couple of times a week. I have a half day on a Thursday and an avo nap is my little treat. I might also have one at the weekend but that is usually cos I am a bit hung over.

Oh god, yes! I don't do it every day, but after I have, I have so much more energy for the rest of the day, it's like having two separate days.
I like that new word, biphasic!

Oh god yes if I get the chance which is rare!

Yes! I love them and have even converted my nap-dismissing husband into having them.

Currently have a toddler and a 6 week old and really missing my lunchtime nap but going to really try hard for an eventual tandem nap us all

My whole family are nappers, my parents worked night shifts for years so I wonder if that has contributed.

Love a nap. Would have one every day if I could.
