Are wonderful,
Nothing better than an afternoon nap and it has to be short, ie 10-15 minutes and not too late otherwise it can bugger up getting to sleep laterI had 10/15 minutes on the sofa, felt great after
Especially when you're supposed to be working. :emoji_laughing:Are wonderful,
I always see afternoon naps as a pensioner thing. You all must be old before your time.
lolI was born old! :emoji_laughing:
I'm knockin' on a bit (65 next birthday) and I can say with hand on heart, I've never had an afternoon nap. I just couldn't drop off in the day (except when I worked permanent nights at the old Morris Engines plant!)I always see afternoon naps as a pensioner thing. You all must be old before your time. I have a son- in-law who has naps on holiday. So wrong. only my view.
All of us are getting older. Just some are getting older than others.I work four 10 hour days, from 7:30 till 6pm. But a couple of days this week I felt very tired around 5:30pm, so I took a nap from 5:30 till 8.
A nap of less than a couple of hours is pointless to me as it takes me around 1/2 hr to fall asleep.
When you get older, it's important to listen to what your body is telling you and if you feel tired, take a nap.
have a nap during the night instead then, either just before or just after the 3 hours. Hey presto - 6 hours sleep!Afternoon naps? I only have 3 hours a night sleep .
How come you don't have to get up to pee at least three times a night like the rest of us?I normally go to bed around 11.30pm - midnight. Don't get up until around 9.30 - 10.00. Ah! The joys of retirement! :emoji_sleeping:
If the bed's a bit wet and warm in the morning, I just blame my little Chihuahua who likes to kip on the bed with us! :emoji_ok_hand:How come you don't have to get up to pee at least three times a night like the rest of us?

That's because you drink the pub dry before you go to bed! :emoji_grin::emoji_grin::emoji_grin:I have to already and am only 32!!
It's the most natural thing in the world to take a nap when you are tired. I'm usually tired mentally more than physically.Haven't had one for over fifty years when I was a toddler, so I wouldn't know.
No idea how anyone can fall asleep in the day. I can only sleep at night in a bed. I can't even drop off on night flights. Also I never get up in the night for a wee and I'm an old fogey (nearly)
Seems completely unnatural to me.
The only thing that would disturb me would be a sudden noise, like the phone or doorbell ringing.
