Jerlene Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I have never liked taking naps. I feel like if I nap then I'm just wasting my day away. I don't care how tired I feel, I will force myself to stay up. This helps me with my insomnia. If I force myself to stay up I can usually get to bed at a decent hour.

o-o Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I don't like to take naps. As I work on shifts, if I take naps it's quite dangerous to not sleep well at night. It really depends on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerlene Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Same here. I guess it depends on what I've done so far during the day, or what I did the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I work rotating shifts for many years now and it seems like I just get naps … Gets frustrating not to get a full 6 to 8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, there may be an underlying issue that is disrupting your sleeping pattern which causes you not to sleep peacefully for the regular 6 to 8 hours. Have you seen a doctor (one that you can trust and not some random one that'll say anything to put you on meds)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naps are really good but no longer than 30 minutes though or it tends to mess up your sleep schedule. Alyxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least I could tell you is to try to establish some kind of relaxation route a few hours before you go to bed as it may help you to sleep longer.

Alexander. Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I have never liked taking naps, formally when I was a child. Generally speaking nowadays, I think I'm starting to appreciate sleep more than I used to when I was at school. Working long hours is enough for me - after my shift I would be lucky to get 6 hours rest. Edited April 9, 2019 by xXInfectedXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moony Burbage Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I wish I could take more naps. I love them and take every opportunity to take one when I'm tired (which is, pretty much, always). But I agree, the fact that I'm loosing time while napping is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napping is a light recharger and doesn't cost you much time unless you are going over 30 minutes. This is where you need to set an alarm to prevent yourself from over-indulging in your nap.
