When possible I enjoy taking a mid day nap. Am I alone on this one?

When I work: I work night shift... 12 hour nights: so I sleep during the day:
Well: it is usually short sleeps, or long naps (3 to 4 hours is all I get)

Yuck. I don't miss the 12 hour shifts but I don't like my hours too much. I work 11-7 PM. I wish I had normal 2nd shift hours.

My shift is 7 pm to 7 am.

But, been off since June 1 on medical leave. I actually miss the babies. So much happened at night.

I'm going to guess that you are a nurse?

I hope you get better soon so you can get back to work.

I could never do a nurse's job, you people are a special breed.

I can't sleep during the day even when I don't feel good or no matter how tired I am. It's never been something I've been able to do.

Usually somewhere between 2-5pm. Although since the weather has gotten hotter, I'm outside more often.

I love me some naptime, unfortunately I don't get to get a nap too often. And then when I do, I don't sleep any better then than I do at nite so I just get up grumpy...kind of like having two episodes of getting up on the wrong side of the bed.

It is terrible to be an insomniac when you love sleeping so much. You just never appreciate it until you can't.

I've never been a good sleeper & with this stupid heat I'm sleeping worse than normal.

How can anyone hate naps? That's really different! :lol

How can anyone hate naps? That's really different! :lol Just always have. If I'm going to sleep., I'm going for the whole 8 hours., a nap is a tease to me!
I did nap in boot camp., well that was more like passing out from exhaustion. LOL!

I never nap. Never have and my DS isnt into napping either-even when he was a baby. I think my DH would nap but he is always too busy. He will nap on Sundays if he gets a chance. I usually find him asleep in the recliner he put in the garage. I think he is working out there but he is really sleeping. LOL

I love to hold my 2 pups on the over sized recliner & sleep with them when I get the chance & I have a feeling that I am going to be holding my little girl dog extra today because I think the vet is going to tell me she needs her knee operated on today. They loved being held when they sleep! No, they are not spoiled! :lol

I am for sure a napper. I can't make it through the day without one. I usually have mine around 5pm or 6pm. I sleep for an hour to an hour and a half. You guys will probably think it is crazy but my DH even naps at work when he gets the chance. If they aren't brokedown and the line is running good he takes what he calls a power nap in his chair. It is only for 20 or 30 minutes but he swears it recharges his battery. LOL

No napping in the summer, but most definitely in the winter. I go to bed late and get up early to take the kids to school .. so I take naps.

it doesn't matter how tired I am, I cannot nap during the day. I have tried but I never drift off.

I just got up from one :)

I take naps once in a while because of the fibro.. I have to try to sleep when I am in pain during the day so the pain meds kick in. I am having reeeeeaaaaalllly bad costochondritis pain today. Plus Zulu didn't want to nap with me today so I am kinda offended lol

I am not a napper, I have crazy sleeping issues as is and when I do nap it really messes up my all ready non existent sleep schedule ;) although the last few weeks I've been napping like a fool, I think the heat has really been wearing me down.

I took a 2 hour nap today! Man did that feel good!

I haven't been sleeping right for quite some time now but I used my melatonin to help catch up today!

I'm not a napper either. If I nap during the day, I'm awake all night.

My husband got really worried about me once because I would be asleep almost every day when he came home from work for over a week. It was out of character for me, so He made me go get a checkup. Turned out I was pregnant.
