I just fall asleep in my recliner... pretty fast after I sit down.

Then, 10, 15, 30 minutes or so later I wake up, and realize that either my show is over, or I missed so much I have no idea what is going on.

I hardly ever actually lay down to take a nap.

Moni

I hardly ever nap, but if I do, I go to bed.

I don't take naps unless I don't feel good. Sometimes I feel my eyes getting droopy watching the evening news but fight it so I can sleep at night.

I do not take naps either, they make me feel all groggy the rest of the day. If I am sick I can sleep all day;)

I don't get a nap everyday, wish I could. I go to bed. I rest much better at night if I have had a good nap.

Since I cut out high glycemic carbohydrates, I do not get tired during the day.

No more carb slump!

No nap.

I usually don't take naps but when I do, I need to get into my bed and cover up.
I don't sleep sitting up in a recliner......only in bed.

If I take a nap, I lie down on my bed. I flip back the covers because I don't like to lie on top of them. In the summer I love nothing better than to take a nap on the sofa of my screened porch.

I don't own a recliner. If I did, I would sleep all day.

No naps here unless I am sick OR after I eat too much sweet junk--then I get up and keep active. Naps --no sleep at night for me.

Since I go to work at 6 in the morning I usually take a nap in my be covered up at about 4 in the afternoon. Before we moved I usually took my nap on the couch in the living room. I have always worked the early shift.

I very seldom nap. The only time I might nod off is if I'm sitting down for a few minutes in the mid-afternoon to read before making dinner. I never specifically lie down to nap.

Recliner, for sure! About 3 times a week.

Most days I need a nap, and I use my recliner and a fleece blanket to cover up with...so nice a comfy that it takes just a minute for me to go to sleep..(my doxie lays beside me and naps too)

I never used to take naps, but last month I got a total left knee replacement and haven't been able to sleep well at night
so I do nap once or twice a day now. I'm at home so there's no problem with it. After my leg heals I don't know if I'll
still want to nap or not..

I never lay on my bed for naps because if I do I usually wake up and am b*****y for the rest of the day.

It's the recliner for me. I read, then get a bit sleepy, and close my eyes "only for a minute" and end up missing end of Jeopardy!

Is there an age when y'all started napping regularly? I may be 'getting there'.

Did anyone follow the advice to nap when your child naps? I was always using that time to shower, wash my hair, tidy the house.

I don't nap unless I am ill. Then I get into my nightgown and Go To Bed. I may read a bit before lying down to sleep.

I do best with eight or nine hours at night though -- always have.

Advice now is for workers to nap for (no more than) twenty minutes during the day.

I always tried to nap when my younger son would take his nap, but then my 2 year old decided that was the time he could get mommie's undivided attention.

I'm now 76 and still don't feel any real need to nap; it occurs when I sit down and totally relax. If I'm busy during the day I don't miss it at all, and I never nod off at night whether I've taken a nap or not.

Some people, like my 93 year old friend, can go farther, faster and longer than I can, but if I know she will close her eyes many times during a movie or a Sunday sermon. So maybe that's the solution: just be able to take those little catnaps during the day.

Mostly in my recliner, but sometimes body is tired so lay down on the bed. I take too many naps really, lol.

Back before air conditioning, parents and my sister and I would take naps on the living room floor, on Sunday afternoons, with the metal fan going.

During the week, in the summer, mother would spread a quilt on the front porch for my sister and I to take our afternoon naps.

I never nap unless I'm sick. I sleep a good 9 to 9 1/2 hours at night though.

I had just woke up from falling asleep in the recliner when I answered last night. I was so groggy, I went to bed. That was 7:30 PM local time. YIKES, I never go to bed that early!!! I slept till 3, then fell asleep till 4:15, and called it off at 4:30 AM.

Usually I get up at 5:45 AM, to get to work by 7:00 AM.

Went to put some bikes together for the Salvation Army (tomorrow is the BIG day when we built around 900), and just got back home. Rode my bike there and back.

32 miles.

It's shower time... :)

Moni

I usually get up about 5:30 am and go to bed around midnight.

I don't take a nap everyday - but sometimes I sit in the recliner and fall asleep for a while.

I call it the Recline-A-Coma - LOL!!!

I love my nap time--wish I could have it every day. We don't have a recliner but I sleep for 25-30 minutes on the couch. If it weren't for that, I'd get rid of the couch. But it's so comfy! If I nap in bed it's more like 1-1/2 hours and I feel groggy the rest of the day.

When I had my old couch I'd take a nap almos every day now I find my head almost hitting my computer desk

No naps here. Most times my day starts at 4:30-5:00 & I try to go to sleep by 10:30. I have never been a good sleeper & it has gotten worse as I get older. If I get 4 hrs of sleep that is a lot & it is never straight sleep just cat naps.

I rarely nap. I usually get up around 5-5:30 & go to bed around 10. If it's been a really long week (like this one), I sometimes start to nod off in the couch before bed. If I ever lie down on the bed to take a nap on purpose, I'm either sick or truly exhausted. My sister, on the other hand, naps as often as she can & always has. She's been known to drive to a quiet spot during her lunch break & take a quick nap in her car. She says she feels better afterward. If I did that, I'd be too groggy to go back to work.

I wish I could nap but I never can. I've always had sleep problems so my average night is six hours. Last night I fell asleep at five a.m. and woke up at ten so at least I got five. It doesn't matter now that I'm retired but, for many years, I worked 9 hours a day with very little sleep. I've had every test done and nothing wrong, they feel it must be related to a severe brain injury I had as a child. My sis in law can lie down and be asleep in five minutes, it amazes me.

If I nap, it is in my bed. I like to nap in the winter when there is nothing else to do.

Sue used to say that I could sleep any time and any place.

When I worked in the bar of a hotel in Alberta 30 years ago, room and restaurant included, I'd be sitting at the stool at the counter in the restaurant, reading the Edmonton paper ...

... and fell off of the stool!

It took me a while to forget that one!

And I'd fish the leftover crusts out of the ice cream bucket, where they collected to feed the dog, and put them under the grill.

The staff used to tell me to use the fresh mid-loaf slices, and I said that when we were kids we used to fight over the crusts - they weren't garbage to us, by any means.

And they said that I should put them into the toaster.

I said that the grill was going anyway, and it'd take extra power to heat the toaster so it seemed to me wise to use the grill, even though I needed to turn the bread over.

What did I care - it wasn't me who paid the power bill.

I said that wasting it wasn't a good idea, whether it was my wallet or someone else's.

One day, the owner brought me a slice, burned black to a crisp, in a soup bowl ... that I'd placed ... and forgotten.

It took me a while to live that one down, as well!

I often have a rather short night, as I tend to stay up late.

Now ... sometimes I find my nose hitting the kitchen table ... or the computer desk (often, late at night). Have fallen off of the chair, on ocasion.

I used to have a recliner, but no longer. I can take a nap on top of the bed, which sometimes stretches to a couple of hours.

When I was a youth, about 2 in the afternoon, we'd get sleepy when working the tractor, and going to sleep could cause some problems, so we'd climb off, lie down on the ground for 10 min. or so, and be good to go again.
