Naps

I have never been able to kip during the day. I’ll maybe have a sleep on Christmas Day after being done in but all of a sudden I’ve found myself exhausted and needing an hour during the day. It’s happened twice this week.

I’m old too. Maybe it’s that?

Roughly, how old are you?

Generally nap when back from work for an hour. No prob sleeping when go to bed around midnight.
A couple of naps at the weekend never go amiss either.
Spoken to the Docs about my capacity to sleep but they don’t seem bothered/know what it is despite multiple tests. I just like sleeping.

I have 15 years on you, and I honestly cant remember having a nap during the day. That said, come 9.45 to 10.15 pm, I am out like a light and nothing will wake me till 6.00am.

I am 83 and I've never been able (or wanted) to sleep during the day. Like Roydo, come 10.30 I'm out like a light, but wake up at 3.30am and am awake for two hours, then back to sleep for another couple of hours. Seems to suit me, never feel tired during the day. Feeling knackered is slightly different!lol

Bad habit to get into,,, I struggle to sleep that night unless I have a skinful....But no better feeling playing Tarzan the duvet being a crocodile and wrestling it in the afternoon

You can’t beat a couch snooze mid afternoon, just forty mins to an hour.

It’s the British equivalent of a siesta.

A mate of mine has had naps since I can remember.

Back when we were 20 ish I can remember asking what time he finishes work.

Half 5! Sound. I'll be round with beer at six!!

Oh. Make it half 7. I'm gonna have a nap after work...

Oh ok. Sorry mate. I forgot you were a 70 year old woman...

Good god no.
It's hard enough holding my tongue in the normal threads.
I'd be burnt alive if I ventured in there the amount of absolute cockwombles running amok, never mind getting a ban ffs

I was in the Merchant Navy for 49 years keeping watches interspersed with working odd hours, so it was vital to be able to get a couple of hours kip at the drop of a hat.
