Do you take naps to catch up on sleep?

[12karen]

Nowadays, I tend to stay up late, so I feel like napping is helpful.

No. For as long as I can remember, if I sleep during the day, I often wake up with a bad headache that doesn't go away for 2 or 3 hours so I avoid it.

Usually if I feel tired in the middle of the day, if I just lay down to rest and watch TV for 30 minutes to an hour, it helps rejuvenate me.

I really wish I could do that then I can't for some reason but the day I do I'm going to like it

I don't know why but after I eat lunch it's like someone drugged me to unconsciousness. I have to go to sleep for a few hours.
I heard that we can't ever catch up on sleep. It doesn't work that way.

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧡

Twice a week usually. I always have one really god awful night of sleep per week like Monday night I slept for literally ONE hour the whole night

Sleep doctors say occasional naps are OK, but deep REM sleep is the only absolute restorative to your day. Meaning 6-8 hours of sleep per night.

You can get a little boost from a nap, but it won't help if you're depending on naps to aid when you're not getting enough regular sleep.

No. But when I'm really tired, I may fall asleep before bedtime. Usually I miss the end of whatever movie I'm watching.

On my days off, I'm definitely taking a nap or at least just laying in bed and resting.

I only take naps when I'm sick. Otherwise no

[Nikki1989]

I wish I could. I struggle to sleep at night, let alone during the day.

[Spencer10]

My life is crazy... I could not function without taking naps.

[exitseven]

I hardly ever take naps. Sometimes I fall asleep watching TV at night.

[bowenw]

Rarely as they can make it difficult to fall asleep at my regular sleep time.

[AgentG111]

At times I've grabbed a nap but just because I was tired or didn't feel well. Not to try and catch up on sleep.

[Still-alive]

Not to catch up on sleep, i just tend to need a quick one in the afternoon. Usually after lunch

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I do, I don't have anything better to do anyway.

[NathanDavis]

I've never had a nap before...

[Iron_Man]

How late do you stay up?
