Let's talk about naps. What are some of your favorite techniques?

Do you sit in the easy chair? Do you lay on the couch? On the floor? Get in bed?

Do you take long naps > 1 hr or do you take quick 15 minute ones.

I could really use any sort of nap right now and I got to thinking about how others feel regarding naps.

Ah. That's the life.

I had those after school during high school. I had no windows in my room, which made working 3rd shift in the summers much easier.

One time my mom was making "breakfast" for dinner, and I about lost my shit. If I missed the bus I had to walk, so I woke up, smelled eggs, saw 6:45 on the alarm clock, and freaked out. I hopped up, got dressed, and flew down the stairs and out the door. My mom chased after me, asking what was wrong. Little did I know, it was 6:45 pm.

Good ole overnight shift dementia

Have slept 24 hours straight in the past due to overnights.

One of Europe's biggest advantages over America is "Siesta time". It was one of my favorite things about Spain.

Every day from 1-3 everything in town is shut down and everyone goes home for personal time, which is usually used for a nap. Partner that with the fact that the workdays don't really start until 9-ish and breakfast/lunch beers are socially acceptable.

Damn we suck. That would be awesome, but but but our corporates would have to lose a few jet trips

Man, I could really use one of these right now.

I'm going down for a 1-2 hour snooze! Didn't sleep well last night with some acid reflux for first time in a long while.

Cranking down the A/C to 72 (it's 102 and sunny outside) and pulling the curtains closed

Sleeping on top of the covers with my LL Bean cotton blanket.

Nighty night!!!

They also put less stock into their jobs having a lower GDP than the north. I wouldn't call it an advantage though.

That drove me crazy in Spain when my train from France slowed down to a halt stopping everything right in the middle of the tracks in Spain. None of us knew what was going on. Don't they also have a larger midday meal at this time too?

My nephew calls me "Sir Naps-a-lot" so yeah...I'm addicted to 'em.

I'm not much on naps and if I do it is usually just drifting off and not a deep sleep the cool thing is I only reach dream stage and that can be fun or strange depending on the dream.

I did that today by the way.

Shower naps

cooper barrett · 09-05-2017, 03:46 AM

Naps are few and far between anymore as I new sleep in 2 four hour shifts but in the past an ice cold shower and an aggressive ceiling fan and I was almost out before I hit the bed. I have great memories of being woke up from those naps too!

Nickhead · 09-05-2017, 04:30 AM

the only time i can nap is if it's around 11 am. any time after that i miss my bed time by about four hours. this happens about three times a year and generally means i am sick.

MelGrif · 08-30-2020, 03:16 PM

Usually I can't take the shot naps. I'm going to, but I can't wake up in 15 minutes

. In most cases I sit on the sofa in front of TV. But I'm thinking about buying one of the sleep recliners. They are supposed to be comfortable. Does anyone have such a recliner?
