let me just rest my eyes for 30 minutes
do you take naps? if so, how frequently?
i do sometimes on my lunchbreaks - but those are usually just me shutting my eyes for 20 minutes and immediately going back to work. i do occasionally take naps when i'm finished with work if i have a headache :S |
I do sometimes but I also suffer from migraines if I do, sometimes if I get a migraine from the weather I use a nap to escape the pain, knowing it will be there when I wake up.
|
finally!! this is my kind of thread!!
anyone who knows me knows that i am a chronic napper. i've been doing it for pretty much my whole life, so whenever an opportunity presents itself to me, i will take it to get some quick zzz's. now, don't get me wrong, there are drawbacks to this. sometimes i wake up super groggy and shitty, but those tend to go away after a while and they most commonly happen whenever i've had a terrible dream of some sort (or if i've just had a terrible nap. those happen, too). that said though, as much crap as naps given me for lack of properly sleeping at night, it does mean that i can function on levels of sleep that "normal" people would find insane. im talking like... i can function fine on like 2-3 hours of sleep, provided i've had a nap beforehand and im not actually doing anything super strenuous or taxing. that said though, i am the way i am because i.... think im a biphasic or polyphasic sleeper? and i've, again, been doing this my whole life so my body's pretty much become accustomed to this, so it's a normal way of life for me. if i'm tired/sleepy, im going to take that opportunity to take a quick nap. power naps are a godsend especially whenever i have jobs because im pretty decent at napping for a quick 30 mins - 1 hour and then being more or less ok. |
Occasionally. I work an early shift so if I plan to stay awake later I may nap an hour or two.
|
When I would close at work I always have to take a nap because if I don't I'm ready to sleep by 11pm and we don't close until 2am. Then I'm dragging for those last 3 hours that seem like an eternity.
|
I take naps alot in the Summer since it gets so hot and I just end up passing out and in cold weather I don't often take a nap.
|
Naps are great :D I get tired super easily so it helps a ton. I find that I end up in a blanket cocoon for hours afterwards though because the bed is too comfortable. It's bad when I have things to do but otherwise naps are amazing all year round!
|
I have a sleep schedule, so I don't nap. I often feel like I don't have enough time in the day, and naps would only rob me of additional time. I get around 6 hours of sleep a night and that's enough for me.
|
Only if I've been really busy that day or over a span of days. I don't think I even notice falling into the nap.
That's rare tho. |
I sleep in class so I guess those are considered naps oops
|
I used to never nap, even as a kid I wouldn't take a nap no matter what. But since uni started I've been taking so many naps, I'd flop into bed midday or early evening if I don't have class. It's worse during holidays.
|
Since I take classes during the very early morning hours, I catch myself getting tired on the bus ride home, then I fall asleep at around at home for the next couple hours.
I was one of those who never took naps, but sometimes due to my schedule I get overwhelmingly tired in the afternoon. |
If you ever catch me napping, then you can be certain I'm very ill. I'm physically unable to nap otherwise.
|
I don't really take naps. I have a lot of trouble sleeping and don't have a circadian rhythm, but I also rather ironically sleep extremely deeply once I do manage to pass out. So if I attempted to nap and actually fell asleep, it'd turn into a long sleep anyway.
|
There would only be two different scenarios in which I would take a nap...
1) If I am severely ill - Usually the medicine that is most effective are also the same ones that could tranquilize a rhino. Okay yes, exaggeration much shush! Anyways that would impose a 1-2 hour nap. Once or twice daily. 2) If I work overnights - I mean real overnights. From 8pm until 6am. From 2am onwards it gets quiet fast at work. In order to survive this reality I would nap for a couple hours before work to ensure I am rested for the guarantee of the night. In relation to this. Let's say I work that shift Monday night (Crossing over into Tuesday) then I work at 6am on Wednesday. I would nap for an hour when I get home. Then force myself to stay awake until 7pm to ensure I am ready for the early shift. |
Rarely. I'm usually too busy or preoccupied. I also dont want to mess up my already bad sleep schedule lol

I have a lot of trouble sleeping, so no, I don't nap. I sometimes lie down and do nothing, but I can never get to sleep if it's daytime, so, nah.
|
I only take them when tired, I have to set an alarm though because I sleep for a very long time.
|
I usually do take naps when travelling by train to school and back. Mostly because that's either super early in the morning or super late in the evening.
|
rarely, they usually make me get a headache and feel groggy. lately I've taken a few naps though (used to not take any at all anymore for those reasons) but still almost never, since I feel bad a lot of the time afterwards ):
|
I take them now and again. They often help, althoguh it's not always easy for me to fall asleep. I use an alarm to try to avoid having it last too long.
|
i sometimes take multiple naps a day instead of actually getting a normal nights sleep
|
I can't function as a human being without my daily nap (usually, when I'm at an anime conventions are a notable exception.) My naps vary widely in duration, from 5 minutes (welp, not long enough) to over 5 hours (welp, way too long.) I'm at the mercy of my body as to when I fall asleep and awaken; I can't force it if I'm not tired or if my body's not ready to awaken.
|
I never ever take naps unless I’m super tired or really sick. Sometimes I want to after a shift has ended but I get home too late to even take a nap. It’d mess up my sleep schedule.
|
I hate taking naps. I usually just push through the day until it's bedtime if I'm really tired. My sleep schedule is already f***ed as it is without having to nap during the day time. Of course, I do doze off accidentally a lot during the day... so that probs counts?
|
I used to nap a lot during the day, but for whatever reason now I can't. Not for lack of trying (for the few times now that I do feel like having one), but if I do try then I tend to either never fall asleep, or toss and turn enough that I wonder if the nap was even worth having.
|
I can't take naps. It just messes me up and I won't be able to sleep that night.
|
Not often as I prefer to just sleep rather than nap for a short while. But if I'm really sleepy at work then during lunch I'll take a 30-minute nap. So far, this has only happened to me a couple of times.
