    I am up inbthe morning at 3am and normally font get back in bed at the earliest at 9:30. I also have a 14month& 2 month girls and I nap everyday as long as i can. Anything under 2 and I am sluggish and don't want to do anything. If I get 3hours i normally feel like superwoman lol. I get so much done and have tons of energy.

    I LOVE naps. I seriously regret all the naps I only pretended to take when I was little.

    Tell me about it, I tell my 3 year old all the time that he's going to miss these days when I ask him to take a nap :)

    I love a good nap but it causes me to not be able to fall asleep at night. Yesterday, I napped for about 1 hr and then couldn't fall asleep until almost 3am. :grumble:

    I nap constantly. I just woke up, in fact. If I stop moving, I'm asleep. I'm a human sloth. :yawn:

    I tend to nap when I'm cranky.

    I nap on the weekends for 2-3 hours a day if I can get away with it.

    I'm with you there. Naps are probably my favorite thing in the world. Sometimes a nice hour or so after work, a couple hours after lunch on the weekends, or the best - get home from work at 5, nap until 9, have dinner and right back to bed!

    I nap for about 1-2 hours almost every day, it really refreshes my mind and gives me a fresh beginning to the rest of the day.

    It's not natural not to nap. The only reason everyone doesn't nap every day is because of the daily GO-GO-GO rush we are in. We're supposed to be busy doing something from the minute we get up to the minute we go to bed. Are there any other animals that stay up for 14-18 hours and not nap? Probably not too many. Don't stores close in many European countries for a couple hours in the afternoon so people can have some "me" time? When out camping or vacationing on a tropical island, doesn't almost everyone nap sometime during the day? Remove ourselves from the daily grind and naps come easily and frequently.

    A quick 30-45 min snooze on the couch all nice and cozy under a blanket is one of life's most enormously enjoyable simple pleasures.

    Whenever the mood strikes me (which is to say a lot) and for as long as my body needs.

    I used to nap when my little guy napped (two hours in the afternoons). He only just gave them up at 5, so now I am mostly nap-free. It is as awful as it sounds, but we're sleeping in longer in the mornings!

    I was sick last year and didn't sleep well. Since working out back at full capacity this year, I need an hour nap pretty much every day. It has not been effecting my night sleep, so it must be a necessary thing for me now. Healing occurs while sleeping, so I'm happy.

    I don’t take naps. If I got time to lean I got time to clean. ^_^

    If I take a long nap on the weekend, longer than 30 mins, then I wake up out of it. If I take a short 15-30 min one, I feel refreshed.


    I'm the same way, anything longer than 30, I wake up even more tired
