Loving/ Needing an afternoon nap

Bea65 it could be that the quality of your nighttime sleep has decreased, so you may not be getting enough of a deep sleep. If you feel the need to nap, then go for it.

I don't nap often, but a Sunday afternoon nap, knowing all the chores are done and a roast is in the oven, feels really luxurious.

Think of it as a siesta without the sun!!

I couldn't nap but if its what you want, why not?,

What ever you fancy, I suppose.

I’m 73, never nap - as an adult, never have.

I'm the same - can't nap during the day and never have. The rest of the family, however, could win gold medals at napping! I'm definitely the odd one out!

If I’m home and not busy ( rare) then I often drop off while reading or even ordering on Amazon😂it just happens but never lasts more than 20 mins.Power naps!

Sometimes I just drop off to sleep in the afternoon. It's lovely. Feels like a treat.

I love naps. Always have. I don't take a nap every day, just when I feel I need one. This afternoon two hours. I had been up since 0300 though and had had a busy morning.

I only sleep during the day if ill, have never been able to nap though my OH loves it. If I do attempt to do this I tend to wake up feeling disorientated and headachey.

same here. When I had Covid a few years back, I did have a nap a few days- but never before and never since.

Sometimes I fall asleep in the afternoon, usually only for about ten minutes, sometimes I fall asleep watching something in the evening, more so now the clocks have gone back. Like others who have come on various threads to talk about their insomnia, that's it! I often have a night of tossing and turning. My attitude therefore, is grab these moments and relish them, our bodies are telling us, it's what we need.

I have to have an afternoon nap, I LOVE it! Quiet, cosy warm, drifting off, it’s like a drug! I go to bed about 2am, up around 11am, so a ‘zizz’ around 3/4ish is perfect , (I am 72)
enjoy whatever you do Bea, it’s your life to live your way 👍
