Poll: Naps

[Ares Tyr]

I only take naps when I'm very tired and can't sit for long without falling asleep to begin with. I also nap alot when I'm depressed I notice, which probably is just a symptom of depression to begin with. But I don't take them very often at all.

I can't sleep during the day, nor can I sleep in. Nor do I have too.

Naps, along with cheesey garlic bread are the best thing evaaaar.

As a student The Afternoon Nap is the best thing since sliced bread (how did students eat back when they had to slice their own bread?), and is often required due to late nights and early lectures. Shame I can't yet master the between lectures nap.

I find naps to be a feeble form of escapism that rob me of my time to live.

I always thought of naps as a more American thing, not that I mean anything by that, just that the only time I'd heard of it was watching US tv shows we got over here now and then, otherwise I've never had one.

I guess it doesn't make sense to me, I only sleep to get up the next morning, thinking of sleeping at any any other time seems like a waste. Not of course, that I haven't had times when I'm literally stuck for something to do.

Naps hurt me. When I wake up from one, I'm way more confused than ever, and feel really weak. Last time I had a nap, I passed out five minutes after waking up. It sucked.

The worst is the unexpected nap where you wake up on the sofa 4 hours later like "oh what the tv show ended already?...oh wait its 6pm" then you don't sleep untill about 3am that night.

I hate that, but since I usually go to bed around 1:00 or 2:00 AM a nap like that sets me back to about 5:00 AM. and I wake up at 6:30 at the the VERY latest. I try to get up earlier if I can.

And I usually see naps as a waste, I hate taking them. I always feel like shit afterwards like "I just wasted 2 hours? =(" So they really only occur when I'm not thinking and go to lie on the couch to watch some TV and then end up falling asleep.

I'll occasionally put my head down if I have absolutely nothing to do in study hall, but I can't actually sleep in a desk. I always get to a stage that's incredibly close to the sleeping zone where I either A. randomly shake and wake up or B. make a small moan type noise that forces me to pick up my head to make sure no one heard it.

I find naps with me vary loads, sometimes they feel amazing and other times they make me feel completely disorientated and sick.

My regular sleep is about 4 hours a day, and I take lots of little naps when I can. Usually around 10-20 minutes.
