I'm curious. My DH can sleep on a clothesline, but I've never been able to nap during the day unless I'm sick, no matter how tired I feel.

I could... If I lay down in the afternoon watching TV or something I get really sleepy. I try not to though because it's disorienting and it messes up my falling asleep at night.
DH doesn't nap.

Have to use a BiPap machine when sleeping so no more naps for me as I can`t be bothered to set it up just for a short time. Used to really love a nap in the garden, summer time in the shade.

I can but I rarely do. I did yesterday after work but the previous day I’d worked 12 hours straight so I think I was just drained, I also slept in this morning….hopefully I’m not coming down with something 😏 In general I don’t. Dh naps nearly every non-work day, frankly I worry about it a bit.

Sometimes but it usually effects my sleep, so I try not to.

Not really. Sometimes I feel extremely tired and can’t function so decide to take a nap, but I usually end up just laying there or maybe fall asleep for 10-15 min. If I do fall asleep I usually wake up feeling really groggy and not much better than before.

I nap on Friday when I get home from work. And on Saturdays.
Big fan.
I can't nap during week on Sundays cause I won't get to bed.
I do it on Fridays so I can stay up past 9. Lol
Funny thing though after I wake up I'm starving.

Not very often, but if I do, I set my alarm for 20 minutes. Usually, that's just enough. I will sleep longer if I'm really tired, though.

No. I could but I don't feel great afterwards so I tend not to unless I'm ill or somewhere hot on holiday. I don't think I've ever seen Dh nap except on a lounger on holiday either.

I don’t nap. My naps end up being 3-4 hours and then I’m just sleepy for the rest of the day. Nothing refreshing about that.

No. If I try to nap, I wake up feeling groggy, have a headache, disoriented, sick to my stomach, etc.
DH can nap anywhere, anytime. He always wakes up feeling refreshed.

I nap at any opportunity ... sometimes that means after work because I'm so exhausted ... definitely on days off

No. Naps make me feel awful and it takes hours for me to feel right again.

You need another option, "sometimes". lol. Which is why I picked "other" since I can't say yes or no. Mostly I don't because then I stay up too late that night which means I'm tired the next day. Sometimes if it's not a work day and I know I want to stay up late that night I'll try to take a nap, but I can't always fall asleep anyway.

Yes I nap. Especially on days off or weekends. I will set my alarm for 30 min and usually back up in 15-20. Just a quick cat nap usually does it. Early afternoon - never after 3pm or I wont sleep that night.

Yes! Almost every day, I take a 10 minute ish nap about 2-3 pm while sitting in my chair reading. Last week, DH and I were in a week long seminar on retirement and I really, really missed those naps.

When I was teaching, I used to nap every afternoon when I got home for 20 minutes. It wasn't a physical exhaustion; it was more like shutting down my brain for a few minutes so I could function for the rest of the day. I've always been a stress napper. I'd also try to catch a good two hour nap on the weekends.
Not that I'm not teaching, I rarely nap. Huh. Wonder why that is?

I rarely nap. I have to be just completely overwhelmed mentally to nap. I also try not to sleep more than 9 hours in a night. I need 7.5 to 8 hours. And I try to get that consistently. I'm an in bed at 9 pm and up at 5 am kind of person. Quality and regular sleep is essential to managing my mood disorder.

I'm not a napper, but my husband can literally sleep anywhere. He can also fall asleep on the couch watching tv and then go back to sleep immediately when he wakes up and walks to the bedroom. If I napped in the evening, I'd be awake all night!

I'm not a napper. Even if I try to nap, I can rarely fall asleep. Usually, I only try to nap if I am sick, but even then I'm not likely to actually sleep.
If a need a 're-set' in my day, it's more likely a brief stretching session. Very gentle and usually short, but it really refreshes me.

Not every day but I have my days where I’m just completely spent and have to lay down for 20 minutes. I don’t always actually sleep but I turn off my phone and shut my eyes.

I average one nap per year. I keep trying, but I end up just laying there, thinking about all the things I could be doing if I wasn’t laying in bed. Sometimes I really want to, but my body doesn’t cooperate.

Almost never. Maybe if I am really sick and had a hard time sleeping the night before. I just can’t fall asleep during the day.

Maybe one every couple of weeks...? Every once in a while after I get home from work I just need to lay down in bed--I have 75 minutes between when I get home and when I have to go pick up DS from school so it's a perfect time for a nap anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. I'm awake by 3:15 PM which works good for still being able to go to bed around 10. If I try to nap later than 3 it's hard for me to go to sleep at night.
