Do you take them?

I don't usually unless I'm sick. Or in marathon training, when I seem to need one every day. But it's just for 15 minutes on the couch or whatever.

Yesterday when I got home from the race I slept for 90 minutes, with my coat still on. I guess I was a tad tired. And I still am - I could use one right now!
 
Not usually. My hubby has NO problem whatsoever with napping. That guy can fall asleep in seconds. I will usually give him the evil eye for a bit.
 
my best days are when I take a 20 minute power nap. 2pm to 2:20pm! yeah I am that organized! lol
 
Hate them. It always seems like a good idea, but when I wake up I feel like crap, so I've learned to just power through and avoid them.
 
That happens to me if I sleep for too long. I have to keep it 15-20 minutes.
 
i don't take them on a regular basis, but when i get run down or sick or whatever i'll take one if i feel the need. i love naps, but they do me in for the rest of the day. i can never seem to snap out of the sleepy fog that comes over me if i nap, so i spend the rest of the afternoon / evening sort of zombie-like.
 
I would totally be happy if I could take a nap every day!!!! There are times when I put Derek down for his nap, I will go lay down on the bed and read....and will be out within minutes!!!
 
I only nap every now and then if for some reason I don't get enough sleep or am just worn down....my youngest does not sleep well and alot of times I end up off an on with him at nights (he is 5)!
 
If I'm super tired...and I can lay down and not have to fuss too much (like if I'm cold and need a blanket...that ruins it), then I'll take a 20 min power nap. I feel so much better if I can have one...I just don't make time for them very often!
 
Due to my sleeping problems I have a major dip everyday between 3 and 5pm :( If I get the chance, when the kids are off to school/daycare then I take a hour nap or so and that def helps me in the afternoon at work. But I love naps. I have a hate/love realtionship with them, they take up my time but the are so nice <3
 
I very rarely nap. Maybe 2-3 times a year. Today I totally could have fallen asleep. I slept horrible last night due to winter storms and worrying about whether they'd cancel school and my arms kept falling asleep and I tossed and turned... but if I napped, I wouldn't get any sleep tonight and that sleep is more essential to my everyday well being. So now it's not even 7 pm and my eyes burn and I'm fighting sleep.
 
I don't nap ...I barely sleep. If I take a nap, that means I have been up more than half the day or I am sick. Naps mess up my bedtime and I will not fall asleep when it's late and actually time for bed.
 
lol I'm laughing at 20 minute power naps. Mine are like 2 - 3 hours long and I wake up feeling like I could conquer the world.
 
I only nap if I'm sick or have a migraine or something. If I nap any other time I feel like junk. I love sleeping, so I don't even bother with a short "power" nap - to me that's just sad. I'd sleep all day if I could. I do love my bed.
 
I absolutely cannot take naps. I've tried...but I sleep so hard that I wake up feeling sick to my stomach and I'm a total grouch for the rest of the day! I prefer to just go to bed super early if I'm tired.
 
I could do with a nap right now and it's only 9.30 am .... yawn!
