Midday Naps....Anybody here take them?
 

One of the most rewarding things about working at home is being able to take mid-day naps. Who else in here takes advantage of this glorious situation?

I'm off for a two hour nap.

I used to but now my kids won't let me.

All the time...

The afternoon "Nanna" nap rocks !

;-)

i think its an extremely healthy thing to do. i do when i can. i try to after i get back from the gym.

Nope. Too busying working :)

No but my grandma does.

I read a book called the "Biology of success" and it said that if at all possible you should take two 1/2 hour naps a day. Its says if you sleep for more than a 1/2 hour your body shuts down to much and you will actually be loosing performance even though you think you are rested and will work better. Its a real interesting book, talks all about the actual biology of what makes us perform best.

ahhh i looove naps. :sleep

Naps are cool for you but I don't like them.

I always wake up confused and out of it. I'm mellow for the rest of the day.

If i'm really tired, i'll go for a nap.

But i find it hard to get any sleep during the day when i don't feel so bad. So it's only every so often for me...

Here is a link to the book. Its a pretty good read.

I used too aswell.....or better almost got forced to. In spain the whole country
shuts down between 2pm till 5pm it's called Siesta. I used to take a nap on an
airbed in my swimming pool. I had a floatable tray with a string attached to
the airbed so I could take a sip from a cold drink whenever I got thirsty by
the sun :thumbsup

I 'm always take a nap, it helps to relax my mind :)

I did today.. Just woke up.. Its not a everyday thing, just when I feel I need it.

gonna go take one now

Yep, just got up from an hour nap. Of course I didnt go to bed until 250 this morning and was back up at 630.

Always do, usually is my lunch break.

Jobs get mad at me though. What I don't get is why the fuck is it a problem for someone to take a nap for lunch who still returns on time but Joe Smoker can go outside for 15 minutes every hour or 2.

yay naps! :thumbsup

Just woke up from a 6:00 to 7:16 nap.

I try to take a nap every day. It gives me more energy and clears my head.

I have a sleep during the afternoon sometimes, but then i cant sleep at night.

If you sleep for more than an hour during your nap, you're probably going to wake up a little dazed, because your brain was getting ready to shut it down for a while... The key is to keep the nap under and hour, preferably around 30 minutes so that you get the rest you need w/o putting your body into shutdown mode.

I also love the waking up farts.

Bullshit, the house aint the perfect place for midday naps with all those kids messing around.
