Thoughts on naps?

[Ratboy Genius]

Do you take naps? Long or short ones, and at what time of day? Every day or no?
Are naps helpful or harmful? I've heard arguments for both. Thoughts?

 

[Shamefur Dispray]

If it was a really long day at work or more laborious than usual, I'll catch myself taking a nap afterwards. I prefer not to because it'll fuck up my sleep schedule but sometimes a nigga gotta get his z's

 

[Catler]

I hate naps, I feel like death after even a short one.

Siesta

 

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

I've napped, on occasion. But I tend to avoid doing so, lest my schedule becomes entirely off-kilter. My father tends to only sleep in what amount to long-naps of four hours, or so. He does this all night. This is due to his working nights, sometimes.

After a hard day or long workout at the gym I often sleep for an hour or two to get my energy back.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

naps are cool

 

[Chocolate Wombat]

Sometimes, like if I didn't get enough sleep the night before work I'll take a 30 minute nap during lunch. Mixed results, sometimes it's refreshing and sometimes it's not enough and I feel even more like shit. On days off I'll sometimes take a 2 hour nap and it's the best.

There is no greater pleasure than an afternoon nap on a warm spring day. Sadly I have trouble sleeping and only rarely find myself capable of taking one.

 

[JethroTullamore]

I like naps. Naps are good.

 

[Timmy Jolsen]

I generally take a daily nap due to my disability. It's a very mild condition, but it makes me a little more tired, so an hour or so of napping a day is refreshing. It's healthier than my old habit consuming nearly a gram of caffeine over the course of the day.

Traditionally, it's theorized humans evolved to sleep multiple times daily and nightly. However, for modern life, it may not be a good idea to nap if it keeps you up at night, because we aren't cavemen and we have to go to work, which is difficult if we're awake all night from an afternoon nap.

In terms of other things that can help daily energy levels, a morning workout can perk you up once you get used to it. It's exhausting at first, but once the body gets used to it the endorphins and physical activity give you a burst of energy for the rest of the day.

Maybe you're taking a dirt map by mistake

 

[Blouie]

I rarely take naps and only take them if I'm exhausted after work. I suck at taking short naps too so they're always like 4 hours and it makes me feel like shit.

 

[Overwritten Tapes]

I always wake up feeling depressed

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

I only take naps when I'm drunk, extremely sleep deprived, or high as fuck on pain pills after a surgery. Always hated naps.

 

[The Great Deliverer]

I used to take naps but stopped because i would have a killing headache after

 

[Finger Pistols]

I don't take them "voluntarily". But sometimes I am so dead tired that I fall unconscious and take a nap on the bus or on the sofa.

I always feel like death whenever I wake up from a nap on the sofa, never in the bus for some reason.

Also, I wouldn't recommend napping on the bus that much. Most of the time I'm fine and wake up before my stop. But once I woke up in the middle of bum fuck nowhere and had to figure out a way back home. That and you'll probably get robbed.

 

[part-time loaf]

if I feel really awful during my usual lunch hour at work or after I'm done for the day, I'll set an alarm for 30 minutes and go lay down. I do it on the weekends, too, if I don't feel well. it helps a lot, but going over 20-30 minutes and I feel much worse in most cases, and/or can't sleep properly that night, sometimes developing a wonderful cycle of pain.

 

[Cats]

No. The Government tells me napping is racist.
