  2. I love naps! If it nap for an hour or two I am good to go. Don't even have to sleep at night. I feel great.

  3. I have the following napping problem. Instead of taking healthy 20min naps, I get changed into my pjs, pull the blinds down and wake up 2 hours later, completely unsettled and thinking that I'm late for work. Not cool.

  5. I would love to be a napper, but unfortunately I only indulge in the daytime sleep when I'm sick. Maybe someday when the kids are all in school I will set aside an hour each day to nap!

  6. once and awhile I'll take a nap with my lil one. I close all the curtains and the doors, so as not to let any light in my room, then we crash out for an hour on my fluffy, cold bed.. I have to say this is definitely one of my guilty pleasures.

  11. Sometimes I do nap with my little one, but most days I use that time to run around the house cleaning, cooking, organizing.

    I have heard it's better to nap for 20 minutes than one hour otherwise you wake up more tired or even if you can close your eyes for 15 minutes its very helpful.
