Title: Naps... How long have you taken them, before getting up?
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on April 07, 2022, 11:08:17 AM

Just had an amazing nap, guys. I think it completely changed the game. Wife is gone on vacay and kid is at daycare and going to the grandparents tonight, so I treated myself! :love: Watching the Masters and getting ready for opening day. Go cats, fellas!

Completely changed my outlook on life. Earlier I was like: "Man, I'm kind of tired. Today might suck" and now I'm like "LFG! Should I run for President? I think I should!".

I could never nap in my 20's. It took a mortgage and a kid to get there for me.

I just had an accidental nap sitting at my desk. It was probably 10-20 minutes and now I'm miserable because I just want to go back to sleep.

usually just lay there buzzed on caffeine and never get fully to sleep but feels good to shut eyes

Naps are great.  Usually 45 minutes hits the spot.

Naps are awesome for the most part.  If I take a nap too late in the day my body treats it like a power nap and then I'm up forever and can't fall asleep at a normal time.

I can never nap for some reason. I have to be dog ass tired and even then, its an accidentally fall asleep for 5 minutes watching TV situation. If I try to do it on purpose, my brain goes in to overload. Wish I could, then maybe I could stay awake past 10.  :cyclist:

"dream" scenario:

Saturday morning workout (pickup hoops)
big heavy ass brunch (bacon egg cheese)
shower (could come before brunch)
30-45 minute nap
party

Workout over my lunch and it helps put pep into my afternoon step. If I don't workout I'm dragging hard and laying down for 20 minutes helps big time.

I haven’t taken a nap in 20 years

I love naps, but I have to be careful with it or sleep will be bad.

Ideal: 25 minutes, and that is after tinkering between 10 to 45 minutes. 25 is enough to get calm, clear headed, and rested without waking up groggy.

The worst is to take a nap and have it to be worse than not taking, usually longer naps do that. I think vox actually had a good video a few years back about it, and that time is also about right if you slam coffee/caffeine right before and then take the nap because it hits your system right as you wake up. Haven't done that often but it does work.

Naps, WTF are naps!  I'm retired so I sleep whenever my eyelids get heavy, and I don't GAS what time of the day it is.  :)

Can't nap and I'm totally fine with that.  I also do not possess children which seems to be the gateway to nap'ville.
