Napping
 

does anyone else like having a half hour/hour nap?

love em.

dags :love:

no I wake up wondering where i am and i never know the day either

Fap? For an hour?

It's called edging. It's good.

I literally have 2 naps a day instead of one sleep. It aint so bad

how old are you?

..no, I hate napping..it makes me feel really groggy when I wake up and also takes the edge off my proper sleep....

Sleeping in the sun-warmed air is nice though. The air feels so much nicer when you sleep during the day.

..we don't have sun warmed air in the UK, Alex...will you stop rubbing that in lol...but yeah, I reckon that would feel quite nice....

sorry. :( lol

It is like getting a massage from the sky though. Like the sun is whispering a lullaby in your ear.

..that's actually quite beautiful, Alex..very poetic..for me it would be the central heating drying all the air out so you fell asleep through lack of oxygen...that doesn't have the same ring to it..so that could be why I don't appreciate a nap as much as you do...I am very jealous though, you make it sound perfect...I want to live in your world of whispering suns, Alex....

The Sun blesses certain nations with the siesta. It would be foolish to deny the will of the sun gods. the native peoples of California, and central America, and the mediterranean, we have a natural draw towards the siesta.

It's cultural.

I don't tend to nap for an hour. It always ends up a 4/5 hour sleep and like smithy says, I tend to forget where I am and what day it is.

I did it the other day and thought it was the next day.

..yeah, in all seriousness Alex, the sun and culture is a big factor..I mean it's actually just not practical to be active in the midday sun...

..I'd be interested in what Withano's experience of this is though because it's not the same in African countries, is it..?...yet they're equally as hot..

did you regret it? or was it nice?

..I do that all the time Glenn and that's why I hate napping...I wake up so disorientated....and then I can't sleep at night. so it sets a really bad sleeping pattern...

Hate them, i feel like **** when i wake up. Plus, it also fcuks up your actual night sleep.

It was a very nice nap as it goes. It's the waking up not knowing where I was that was the problem.

Yeah my sleeping pattern has just got back to normal. Well as normal as it can be.

also you have to feed the bunny. poor little fella i bet he's like a cat.

Basically this, its then annoying because you cant sleep in the night you end up being tired in the afternoon and nap again meaning you will lose more sleep in the night.

the problem is probably that you don't have a few glasses of wine with dinner. Remember you should have at least 2 glasses of wine with dinner and then you'll sleep well through the night. I read that somewhere, maybe the BBC, but don't quote me.

Give the money to buy all this wine and sure I will drink more wine :p

If thats the case I think you need a new username DTM :joker:

I've started to do them more often now

you can buy a decent bottle of wine for 6 bucks, and you get 4 glasses per bottle. that's not too expensive.

Can't stand naps, they **** with my mind too much. But I'm kind of in a permanent sleep-induced mind**** anyway because I just sleep at random times or go days without it.

Beginning to understand the importance of them, read somewhere that just 25mins improves cognitive awareness and helps defend against premature dementia.
Some people just need more sleep than others, my son and I need 8hs at least and my daughter not as much, funnily she was the one who slept in the afternoons as a kid and my son and I didn't, l think all kids up to school age should have a nap after lunch.

no they're awful

Catnapping is healthy.. I like a cheeky wee half hour on the couch during the day if I can :)

Feels like I'm wasting a bit of my day if I have a nap, only have one if it's really necessary like if I'm shattered before I'm supposed to be going out

Don't like napping in the day. but on holiday it's different find a nice shady corner of the terrace and drift off ... and I walk up fine unlike in the UK when I wake up feeling like death.

Oh and napping to the sound of the sea :love:

I actually hate the beach as I don't go in the water and I hate the feeling of sand on me, but nothing beats dozing off hearing the waves wash up the beach

I do love having naps they can be so revitalising.

I only have naps if i'm off work. I love them. :lovedup:

i have a nap every night and then have about 5/6 hours sleep at night

i wake up so much easier in the morning when I do this. i've tried nights where i've gone to bed at 10 with no nap and i can't get up in the morning.

naps <3

When i doze off in the afternoon i usually sleep for two hours. :joker:
