How long your naps last? More than 20 minutes! Researchers suggest that a person should not nap more than 20 minutes because it causes laziness and effect the ability to think clearly.

Any way how much do you nap? Is it a daily routine? :gap:

30 minutes is eoungh for me, that only on weekdays when i go to work. but on weekend i never take naps

I take a nap for about 2 hours sometimes 3 and if I sleep less than that I don't be like myself. I do that cuz I sleep late at night and I wake up for prayers that's why I need to take long naps.

who would take a nap on weekends?!!! when I take naps on weekends I become more lazy.

I agree with that, I usually nap for over 1 hour, and I feel lazy and can't think only after one hour or more.

I only sleep at night :tiered:

20-30mins is ideal i think..although i try to sleep for half an hour..i always get the urge to want to sleep more...and its ture if you sleep for long hourse 1-2 hours one feels very lazy!

I am sure every researcher got their own opinion and say in the napping issue. However - I would only go and have a cat sleep if I am very tired "although i would try and hold it so that i can manage to sleep at night"

But if i do sleep than I would for mroe than 20min's for sure ... it would go up to 2 hours ... thre is no way i would sleep for 20 min's and hey wake up all happy and relaxed not chance.. i guess everyone differse .

one time i slept for two complete days from 2:30 pm Wedensday to 7:00 pm Friday and when i got up i thought it was thursday morning and i felt disoriented and i thought i got up from the dead it was one Hell of an experience i'll never forget :bang:

I nap for about 2 hours sometimes. :D And then I sleep at night for about 7 hours.

Wow!!
The longest I've slept is 17 hours.:tiered:

I dont nap at all!!! :tiered: I hate afternoon naps!! No matter how much I need them.. Even If i had slept a couple of hours at night..

Besides the nightmares I get if I nap.. When I get up,I get this cranky mood that lasts till the end of the day!!! sheesh! :scary:

\/\/ell i only sleep 8hrs aday as a maximum. so let's say if i nap for 2hrs i have to sleep at nite for 6hrs,so i wont be lazy or tired !!

I usually nap for over an hour, and when i wake up, i just hate myself. But i just cant stop myself, my eyes reluctantly shut down. :yawn:

i only nap on weekdays.. and if i do.. then its for at least 2 hours! as bloodrose , i sleep late at night..and so i need the sleep or else am gonna be such a grump all day long. :rolleyes:

well some of us have to actually work for a living and don't have the privilege of taking a nap.

Since iam in holiday i sleep from 3am to 1pm ... and if iam still sleepy then i sleep again from 4pm to 6 or 7 on weekdays ... i just luvvvvvv sleeping
Its soo boring you have nothing else to do

it seems to me that napping is a must to everyone here :eyes:

blood rose there ppl who take naps at weekends, believe me.

No fixed time for me, but usually i nap for 1 or 2 hours.
but i sleep late at night, and the reason that i nap a9lan is that i dont have enough sleep at night thats why i nap. otherwise i dont feel like napping coz i think it wastes my day and make the day finishs early.

I don't like afternoon naps either! Even if I'm really tired, then I'd just do something instead of sleeping.

I like to have a nap that lasts for an hour.. more than that I dont Mind!!:D

If im really tired and just need some rest , i can nap for 5-10 min and feel great after that..

Yesterday i was so tired i slept from 4-7:15 dammit and only becuase the the phone rang, otherwise i might have slept until the next day (i've dont that once!)

If i get 6-8 hours sleep a day im fine, dont need nap's

i just luvvvvvv sleeping
Benz I think you should check with a doctor
I don't Nap , I sleep at night o bess :kewl:

You see i got back from work and i kinda feel tired after having lunch. However - i am holding my self so hard to not go and sleep becuase i can't have a nap for 10 min's and feel fine - i need at least 2 hours ... . Plus yesterday i really had a hard time sleeping at night as i slept in the afternoon.

So today i said i won;t sleep so that i can manage to sleep at night early!

I can never have a siesta. I never sleep during the day time unless I am sick with a cold. I usually go to bed around midnight and am up by 7am. I feel the world is passing me by when I go to sleep lol. :)

These researchers don’t really know that we in the Gulf have a totally different lifestyle in the Gulf, mainly because of the hot weather of our area all outer activities stop between 1 and 3 because it is the hottest part of the day, and as a tradition to escape the heat, the people here sleep during this time, it is quite rude to call a house at this time of the day just the same it is rude to call someone after midnight because most people will be sleeping, people in Europe and in the US will obviously think that we are a such lazy nation, but I think that they still have to understand how different societies function.

Anyway, lol, in REAL life, I never take any naps, and as I have an inverted time schedule, I sleep during day time and stay up all night, but my sleep period is continuous, and I do not have any naps during my awake hours. But even when I do sleep at the correct time, I never ever sleep during day time.

i dont alwayz nap but when i do it goes for one and a half hours or something goes to 2 hours! but i have been napping since skool started ( weekdayz only ) never used to do that last year!:duh:

When I used to go to school , I used to come back and sleep for 2-3 hours in the afternoon! Is that considered napping?

I dont nap now ... im on holiday so I get enough sleep! :D

i nap for 20-30 minutes now days and it helps me stay focused :)

well... since school has started...i can't take a nap for less than 4 hours.. it should be 4 and onwards... which makes me awake for the whole night!
