Looks like we can all now take naps without feeling lazy. Scientific proof says that naps keep you healthier.

Sure, i agree with you! I work from my home and i have the advantage of having a short nap whenever iam tired (But i used to take only one a day)...A small nap helps to reboost myself,rejunevates me a lot and helps me to work for longer hours without any mistake!

I would love to be able to do that at the office. It would help with long days.

Most people don't have time in their day to be taking naps. It would be very helpful though.

I don't really feel that a nap helps me, it actually keeps me tired for the rest of the day. The only way I take naps is when I'm sick, and the medicine knocks me out for 36 hours.

Getting sick is great, I just sleep through it.

I don't mind being sick if I have time to sleep. If I have to be places though then that's no fun at all.

As for taking naps, I guess sometimes I feel "refreshed" after a nap, but generally I think I am usually more tired afterwards. I am used to being tired sometimes though so maybe my "nap tired" is closer to somebody else's "sleep for the night tired".

I can stay up a long time without sleep. Once I hit the hay though, you don't want to be my alarm clock in the morning. That reminds me, has anybody seen my sledge hammer?

when you dont sleep much in the first place, naps are always good medicine

Im sure I also heared that too much sleep shortens your life expectancy?

 

[Mirage]

But so does not enough sleep. There is a fine line I guess.

If anything naps make me stay up later at night
