Taking naps.

Val doesn't usually like to take naps, since his days are short enough anyway. But a good nap can make a decent reset button when you're having a bad day, Val has found. He was feeling pretty crummy earlier, then he napped for 30 minutes and now he's feeling much better.

What about you? Do you like to nap during the day?

I hate napping. It feels like a total theft of my time. That said, sometimes it can't be avoided. I'm getting old or something.

^That, plus it messes with my sleep schedule. Taking a nap usually means it's going to take me an hour longer to fall asleep at night. I pretty much only do it if I had massive insomnia the night before or horribly misjudged my ability to last an entire day having woken up at 4am. Usually the latter.

I take naps on days I stay up late and don't get enough sleep. I nap for 90 min so that I get real rest. I don't like taking naps because of the groggy feeling I get, but sometimes they're necesary.

Naps are my mortal enemy.

One hour and my sleep schedule is ruined.

I try, because sleep is the gateway to the greatest thing in the universe. Dreams are the greatest thing in the universe. But sadly I can never seem to nap, have a hard enough time falling asleep at night :/

I tried to take like a half-hour nap. I woke up 4 hours later.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I like sleeping, I just don't like the time it requires.

I generally don't nap during the day unless I got very little sleep the night before. I hate napping because not only does it feel like a waste of time but I just feel worse when I wake up.

Naps are pretty great....in order to not feel worse, try drinking a glass of water before and after, and sleep under only a thin blanket.

I only nap when I am unwell... if I am sleep-deprived, even after a nightmare, I rarely nap. :D

I usually do not nap, and when I do, I am awful at actually adhering to the "correct" times for resting and recharging. I can't tell you how many times my sleep schedule has gotten #rekt by my lack of basic foresight.

^ The worst ones are the naps you don't even want to take. You're just watching Netflix or some jazz and then you just kinda fall asleep. Wake up an hour or two later completely refreshed but when it's time to go to bed later you can't fall asleep because of the **** nap that your body forced upon you

Short naps are a majority of my sleeping schedule.

^^See, my body does the thing where it shocks me awake every time I start to fall asleep at a time I'm not really settled into a place to sleep. The problem is, sometimes it waits until my brain has started pre-dreaming (which is what I and presumably sleep wizards call that phase right before sleep where your control over the content of your thoughts goes out the window) and I end up having pseudo-hallucinations about whatever thing I was in the process of doing when I dozed off. I have had pre-dreams about Michael Caine running a train service and being irate at Axl Rose

I call it the Caine Train

well i mean if he wasn't before he is now

and i remember he was really mad at axl, and getting really intense and in axl's face like "VERY GOOD NOW. ALRIGHT. VERY LOUDLY INDEED. GET OFF MY BLOODY TRAIN, AXL"

and axl's like "NO MAN I'M FREE TO DO WHATEVER"

and then caine goes around greeting guests really intensely like "oh yes, very good, very good"

and then over the course of a few days something weird happens and michael caine starts to turn into a gorilla

and on the last day of this trip he comes in, beating his chest, hooting, and says "OOK. YES. VERY GOOD. OOK. OOK. WE LEAVING NOW. YES. YES INDEED. OOK."

and axl's like "I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I TOOOOOOLD YA" in this sing-song Axl screech kinda way

and michael caine mauls him and throws a banana at him
