Do YOU ever nap?

Whether your a FTWM, SAHM, PTWM, single parent or married - do you ever nap during the day if you're off?

Maybe you have DH or grandma watch the kids for a few hours or take a quick nap when your kid(s) are?

To answer my own question: I do when I can. Only if I'm really needing one. I find it gives me a nice little boost and I prefer it to sleeping in (when I'm off).

I just was thinking today how naps are such an adult luxury these days!Chat Icon

No never not even when I was home on leave. Also I get really annoyed at DH when I see him dosing off & I am doing chores!

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

Lately, yes. I work FT and am almost 11 weeks with #2. If I have a chance on the weekend while DD naps, I will nap. I can't get anything done anyway.

Never. DD doesnt nap long enough for me to even lay down and fall asleep.

I sometimes nap with DD on the weekends, but it is because I am pregnant. Before the pregnancy I never needed a nap.

I actually almost felt asleep at my desk just now reading a boring document, lol.

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

I never did when DD was young. Now she is 6.5 and I feel comfortable nodding out for a few minutes on the couch late in the day if I need it. It doesnt happen often.

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

Yes...Almost every morning after DS gets up. Which is anywhere between 7-930am. I have him ALL day and night. I work on my computer at night after he goes to bed so I am up really late. I can't function unless I get some extra sleep. It is usually only an hour or so.

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

Yes on the weekends if I'm just staying at home all day I will sometimes nap when she naps. I WFT and don't sleep nearly enough during the week, so by the weekend I'm a run down mess. Sometimes a half hour nap gives me the energy I need to be a more fun/less cranky mommy and wife.

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

I'm a SAHM and rarely nap. When DS was younger and was waking up every hour and a half to nurse - and would only take one 1 hour nap if i was lucky, i would always try to nap with him when i could. But now since hes sleeping through the night and napping during the day, i always do chores or more recently trying to workout.

Not anymore. When he wasn't STTN or getting up for the day at 5am, I definitely napped when he did. Now, he sleeps until 8am and I don't need the nap.

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

I'm a big one for naps!! Chat Icon I'd say I nap 2-3 times a week, when my boys are napping.

ETS: It's my own fault- I stay up too late at night, knowing I have to get up for work in the morning!

Re: Do YOU ever nap?

Yup! I was napper before having DD though. Most of the time, if we don't have to be out early on the weekend, I will go back to sleep when she takes her morning nap around 8:00. I'm a FTWM, so no naps during the week, unless she happens to take a rare evening one and I'm really tired.

When I really need to, yes, but only when DH is home - my kids are way too demanding to let me sleep. Chat Icon

Yes. I nap on weekends. My little guy has been waking at night and if he doesnt, the older one does. My little guy goes to bed before 8 but the older one stays up later. The little guy usually gets up early so it leaves me only a small window for sleep each night.
