Do you take afternoon naps

[TomcoPDR]

Open discussion, just too many combinations with a poll.

Wonder if there's a correlation to race/cultural, and taking afternoon naps?

Some say Asians, Browns, the French tend to enjoy their afternoon naps than say Canadian whites. I don't notice. I just know when you're tired, you're tired, and when there's an opportunity just lay down and take a little siesta.

Afternoon nap for me is no sleep at night for at least a week. :thumbsdow

[max_boost]

A lot of countries give their employees a long lunch break 2-3 hours so they can eat and sleep. Business would go on to 7-8pm vs 5pm.

I don't really take naps but then I wake up at 10am lol

[lasimmon]

I'll nap if I am tired.

[Sentry]

Nearly every weekday. 1hr lunch break = 20-30min nap in my car after eating.

[Tik-Tok]

On my days off, you bet. I only nap 15-20 minutes though. That seems to be enough to recharge me.

[JaffX]

If I'm extremely tired then I'll try to nap for a bit. I usually try to avoid it because I'll feel like shit right after and I'll have trouble sleeping at night.

[revelations]

Absolutely nap 2-3x week. Our Circadian rhythms have a small, low point from 2-4 pm (depending on wake time) where our consciousness is lowered and people struggle to focus in the office.

I don't nap unless I am extremely tired. I'm like boost though, I don't get up super early (out of bed at about 730am to 8am). Don't get me wrong, I like laying in bed with nothing to do once in a blue moon, but for the most part, if its daytime, its go time!

I hate getting up super early, but I also don't really sleep in. I could be out drinking until 3am, and I'd still be up at 730 or 8.

Mentioning other cultures, apparently eating early (5-6pm) is quite the north American way, which may shape our sleeping habits. I guess some European and Asian countries eat a lot later (7pm-8pm).

[NoPulp]

Nap occasionally on days off.
It's a gamble though, 80% of the time I'll feel like garbage when I wake up. 20% of the time it's :love:

Not all the time, but what's the benefit to being an unemployed bum if you can't sleep in the afternoon? :poosie: :poosie: :poosie:

I find I don't really need them, since I'm really boring and I go to bed damned early most days. I'm also up early, even though I'm an unemployed bum. I'm almost always up before my alarm, which rings at 6:25.

My 20 minute naps usually take about 2 hours. 2-3 times /week depending on the day.

A professional at every level.
Someone hire this guy!

[BavarianBeast]

Naps are for pussies

[nismodrifter]

Hell yeah. I have the week off and am in Calgary. I just took a nap that bests any nap I've ever taken. Sun was shining in the room, made it nice and toasty, stomach was full of tasty indian food, just killed it. :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

True dat.

[D'z Nutz]

Aw hell yeah. Sleep is one of the most simplest, satisfying things. Why deprive yourself of it?

That said, I can't ever really sleep in past 8AM on my dayoffs, so yeah a nice afternoon nap is necessary some times.

Shit, I've probably had a few short cat naps on NB Deerfoot about 4:30PM on a sunny and warm afternoon - not good when you come back and realize you're a bit farther down the road and don't recall a thing for the last few seconds, my lucky star was shining brightly those few times.

[TurboMedic]

I wish! up for work at 440am, off work between 6-7pm. Eat cold if I'm lucky. Hold pee for hours on end. have fallen asleep in the seat upright. Circadian rhythm? whats that ;) day night flips every 2 days of work

[saiyajin]

I love a good nap, but so rarely have the opportunity, nowhere to lay down at work and I can't sleep in a chair. I never need a nap on the weekend cuz I'll have slept for 10-12 hrs already.

[klumsy_tumbler]

I can't take naps... I either can't manage to actually fall asleep (which just wastes about an hour of time that could've been spent doing something productive), or if I do, I'm out for like 2-3 hours and then can't sleep at night. Up early and into bed early... just never really feel like I need them I guess :dunno:

Kinda jealous of everyone else that can actually utilize a "power nap" to recharge... all I can do is consume lots and lots of coffee haha

I usually feel like garbage after taking an afternoon nap.

I usually feel like garbage after taking an afternoon nap. Yep same here. Unless it's a really short non rem 20 minute special. More harm than good.

Same here. A short 15-20 minutes-all is good. A longer nap-I feel like crap-almost nauseous.
That being said I nap whenever I am off work-usually in front of Netflix.
