    I'm not a napper. The only time I ever take a nap is when I'm sick which is rarely.

    i used to not be able to nap but sometimes I have trouble sleeping so I try to nap or rest when i have a chance. I'm typically a cranky napper but I'm trying to change that. i think it's good for your body to rest when you're tired.

    I love naps :) I don't take them as much anymore since I'm not tired every single day like I used to be, but they're nice every now and again. Plus my naps don't actually involve sleep. I basically get comfy under my blankets and pillows and just...rest. That's it. Haha.

    I can't take naps. I'd rather fight sleep than take a nap. I never, ever, ever wake up from a nap feeling refreshed. Always cranky and even more tired, strangely enough.

    The only time I nap is when I'm sick, and that's usually with the help of some NyQuil or Thermaflu...

    I love naps. When my kids nap, I nap.

    I love getting a nap in and best of all, my kids are old enough to know not to wake me. Yay!!! My favorite is to nap when it's cold outside or even raining. Such a rare thing here.

    If i were better at napping, I'd be a chronic napper. Takes me an hour to fall asleep and then I need at least an hour of sleep.

    Naps? Just how long can a nap be? 1 or 2 or 3 hrs cuz when i call myself napping I sleep for 5 to 6 hrs at a time. LOL

    My normal sleep cycle is about 1 1/2 hours, so my normal nap is either 1 1/2 hours (3 or 4 1/2 if I'm recovering from jet lag). Most people say a nap shouldn't get into deep sleep, but for me, that is the best rest. I don't nap unless I can get a full cycle in.

    Sounds like you also have to go through a set of sleep cycles when you nap. You could set an alarm at 1 1/2 to 2 hours and come out of it feeling better.

    I loooove naps. When I'm lacking in energy, nothing feels better than a nap. Some days, that's all that will set me right when I'm feeling energy-less.

    Only after a long run - 10 miles or more. Im so tired after my shower that an hour in bed is just the ticket.

    I wish! I can't even sleep when I'm supposed to. I'm such an insomniac.

    Oh my yes! Naps are great when I can get one in - must be on the couch, with my dog. A quick 30-60 mins usually does me just fine.

    I may try to get one in tonight actually ;)
