I must have a very young brain 😂

I used to come home from work and nap straight away. I used to imagine i wouldn’t need to once I retired but, no, I still doze off at around the same time. I tend to wake at around 5 in the morning no matter what time I go to bed so I’ve followed what my body clock obviously needs and go to bed around 9 to 10 and fall asleep almost straight away. Still nap for a while most afternoons.

Even when I was working I used to eat my lunch in the parked car and have a sleep. I was doing intense microscope work so it charged my batteries. Now that I am retired I still have a nap for 20 minutes or so, especially if the sun is on my face.

My father used to go home for lunch and had his '40 winks' every time.

DH used to nap several times a day. I hardly ever do, though I might today as I woke at 4.30. Yesterday I woke at 3.30. So tired.

Same kitty I just can’t sleep in a chair, has to be bed. On the very rare occasions I do retire to bed I sleep deeply and wake up a grump, so I don’t do it.
MrJ on the other hand can easily catnap.

Ha ha I don’t nap either kitty!

I'm a napper! I have had to miss my naps recently and am a wreck ready for bed at 9pm.

The article said only one nap of thirty minutes or less was beneficial to brain health I believe

This explains a lot! I don't nap unless I actual lie on the bed. I don't do that as I just sleep and don't wake up for hours. I very rarely drop off while watching TV.

Not really, unless I’ve been doing something very tiring during the morning. I rest, but don’t actually fall asleep. Speaks volumes about my intellect then!

No, never been able to nap during the day, I'm afraid. The rest of the family love a nap though, but not me.

When I was young all the grandparents and great aunts etc had a nap in the afternoon. When I was staying with one or other of them I used to be so bored as they peacefully snoozed. Now I'm one of them!

In my working days, I loved an afternoon nap, in which I could only indulge at weekends! Now DH and I regularly snooze after lunch, if we’re at home. 💤😌💤

Any time I switch on the TV I nod off.

After lunch we tend to sit for a while and read or whatever, that is when I May nod off.

I was thrilled to read this!

I don’t sleep much at night, so try to nap most days. I am a young genius!
