Casual Conversation

Oh, daily! Because the kitten will nap with me under the blankets, and the kitten tells me I must nap, and it's illegal to ignore a kitten. So the kitten tells me.

I don’t nap, but it baffles me that someone would be horrified over someone else having regular naps. If a nap takes you to your happy place, you do you.

Never. I do not have the ability to fall asleep during the day.

If I nap, I can't sleep when actual bedtime rolls around. So, pretty much only when I'm sick.

As an adult only on the rare occasions when I’ve missed a night of sleep entirely and I wouldn’t exactly call it a nap at that point

If I'm at home, every day.

I can not nap. I've tried, but I can't fall asleep at all during the day. Hell, I barely fall asleep at night and that is with medication.

I love napping , almost every day!!!

Pretty much only occasionally when I'm sick or really hungover -- and then only before late afternoon. I get strong sleep inertia, so if I'm not careful, a nap means I'm groggy all evening then can't fall asleep at a reasonable time. 😞

I almost never nap. I stay tired for an hour or so after waking up, so if I sleep I need to account for the time I need to wake up afterwards, since I don't really do anything useful in that time. Because of this, I only use naps when I really need to, and I try to sleep for at least 3-5 hours if I go to sleep at all.

Only when the following conditions apply.

1. I’ve screwed up my sleep cycle. (At least once a week. You know, because digital entertainment exists…)

2. I’ve had to wake up early. (very often)

3. I feel tired in the afternoon. (a bit rare)

4. There’s nothing urgent going on in the afternoon. (often)

On average, I tend to take a 1-2 naps every week. If I did that every day, it would be a sign of something gone horribly wrong with my life.

Obviously, at least twice a day.

Less jokey, that's not untrue some days. I'm fucking old inside. Farting makes me tired.

Less now that we drink less alcohol in the evenings and don’t eat so much carbs

That said, having a 3 year old kid can be exhausting at times and I need a power so after getting up at 6 after waking up multiple times a night

Every day if I can. I love me my nap.

About once every other day. Sometimes once a day if it's a rough week

Sometimes twice a day, about a third of days.

If I've not slept well I have a 15 minute nap after breakfast. I like to nap again after lunch or around 3pm when I'm flagging.

Oh I hate napping! Makes me feel so horrible and I dread it if I'm tired in the day

At minimum every Sunday. Also after work depending on what time I get home; I have a very variable schedule. So I guess, every chance I get.

I had a nap yesterday afternoon, which is probably the first for several months. However, I am on holiday for a couple of weeks now, so will probably be having more over that time.

My sleep cycle is currently a mess, but when it's well-oiled I typically take a 20min nap after lunch every day.

On weekends when I went to bed late the day before because my inner clock makes me always want to wake up at 6:30 the latest.

Nowhere near as much as I'd like to!

Never. I'm having enough trouble sleeping at night and I think napping your life away isn't a great idea anyway.

Almost never. If I nap, SO knows there's something wrong with me.

Only if I have to get up particularly early for something and also have to time to nap later in the day.

Maybe once a month, typically to try to compensate for a drastic sleep schedule shift.

Almost never. I usually wake up feeling worse after I nap, so I only really have them if I'm feeling sick or slept poorly the night before.

I try not to. Waking up is terrible. It takes me hours to wake up in the morning. And it feels awful when I wake up from a nap too. I will make exceptions when I feel terrible. And everyone here dozed all day Sunday. It was a lazy rainy day.
