any nappists here?
some people say swim laps,
some say take naps. . .
nappism is an ideology that can open up your unconscious mind, starting with a yawn!
meanwhile, I rest my case. .

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 9:54 AMI found that after swimming laps, I lost the desire to nap.
so I dispensed with the laps and only do naps. -

Fri, May 9, 2008 - 9:57 AMNapping is my supper power. They say a 15 min cat nap is better than a cup of coffee in the middle of the day. Now of course my naps are minimum an hour or it is not worth it to me. -

Fri, May 9, 2008 - 11:53 AMNaps *ROCK*!!! Except when they throw off your nighttime sleep cycle, of course. :o( I love naps, especially with my kitties! I must throw off a lot of heat, 'cos they're usually stuck to me like white on rice when I'm sleepin'. :o) Could use a nap right about now . . . -

Fri, May 9, 2008 - 5:25 PMI can take a 10 second nap leaning on my machine.
I'm a napper, I don't get a 'full' nights sleep, ever. !/2 an hour sleep at the most, every chance, and got to pee each time I wake up..
Working 10 hours a day really messes with my sleep cycle.

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 2:52 PMI'd LOVE to take naps, but I can never get to sleep fast enough, and then I run out of time. I'd like to try a nap pod, though:

At least it would be peaceful and respitey (is TOO a word ;-P). -

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 6:35 PMGreat link, grrrr..
I would love to get the company I work for to get a few of those Energy Pods. Dedicate nap times for everyone, yeah...
Sorry, can't make that 2:30 meeting boss, that's my nap time! -

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 6:42 PMI woulds be afraid someone would come along and tweak my toes while napping in one of them thingies....besides, naps are best when curled up and all snug. I love naps! -

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 7:04 PMI'm not much of a napper...they seem to make me more tired, rather than energize me. Only time I nap is if I'm sick. -

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 7:40 PMIf they make you more tired, you aren't doing it right! hehehehehe.
From the metronaps site referenced above:
Avoid the Danger Zone
Do not nap more than 30 minutes if you need to be alert and active right after the nap. Longer naps are accompanied by sleep inertia, better known as grogginess. Either take a brief nap (20 – 30 minutes) or take a long nap (a full sleep cycle, between 90 – 120 minutes). Otherwise you will feel groggy afterwards.
I know I said I nap for 40 minutes, but it doesn't make me groggy. Maybe the time thing is kinda flexible. -

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 7:45 PMahhhhhh....mebbe that's my problem...When I do nap, it's usually 40-50 minutes....too little and/or too much. Perhaps this weekend I will try napping correctly.
Didn't know there was such a science to napping

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Yesterday, 7:54 AMi don't nap.....i go to bed. change all my clothes, get between the sheets and sleep...for at least two hours. don't wake me up, i bite. this is the reason i don't like door to door missionaries....they always come during naptime. -

Re: are naps as good as they seem?
Yesterday, 1:24 PMThat's the way you're supposed to do it, Aunt Bea.
I read years ago that Jackie Onassis had her sheets changed every morning so they would be fresh for her afternoon nap.
I just think that would be such a wonderful luxury!
