Curious to see how popular naps are

No. I couldn't fall asleep on my own anymore no matter what. Sad but true. I do lie down sometimes but my mind jumps endlessly.

I don't always nap on my days of but when do...

Its against my will

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I do it a lot due to my sleep being off and due to there not being a lot to do.

Sometimes I nap on days on. Working from home with a half hour lunch break? Perfect time for a power nap.

I sometimes schedule hour long "meetings" for myself and mark them as Private. It's honestly done WONDERS for my productivity when I'm stressed. The rest of the day I get twice as much done

Same, I’ve been doing this lately. I started noticing colleagues block off time on their calendars with events just called “Busy” and realized that’s probably what they’re doing. It’s great, and everybody seems to do it, at least at my job. We’re all remote (always have been, even pre-pandemic), and all trust each other to get our jobs done, so everybody wins.

Same here. I just nap 20-40 mins about 3 days a week, especially if work has been hectic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I nap any chance I get. 30 min Power Nap does wonders.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No, I cannot nap. I don't fall asleep easily outside my normal bedtime and don't feel refreshed afterwards.

Same. I used to nap in class in high school as a bad habit, but was always more tired after.

[–] ted 4 points 8 hours ago

Yes! And midday if focus is bad at work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Yes, but not as often as I'd like.

I usually get the urge to nap sometime between 1:00 and 3:00. Weekdays that's everyone's of the prime meeting scheduling window at work and on Sunday's I have D&D.

I'm generally too busy trying to get my wife to take a nap, since she watches the toddler all day while I'm working and that kid can wear out anyone but when I get the chance, I do love a good nap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I'm fully remote now but when I was in the office it was only 3 miles from my house. Many days lunch was a quick bite, 20 minute power nap, and head back to the office.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

Sometimes but I try not to. What's supposed to be a 20 minute snooze inevitably turns into a 4 hour dead sleep

[–] Cheradenine 2 points 8 hours ago

Infrequently on vacation. Never on days off

I nap 3-4 times a month at work during lunch though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Love a nap, one of my favourite things to do - 12 to 15 minutes seems to be the optimum time in order to wake up and get back to it.

Afternoons are the best time, usually shortly after lunch.

As many others have said, this applies for work days and for non work days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Sometimes. It seems to depend on the day. If I'm up doing a lot, definitely not, but if I'm taking a complete lazy day, just do what needs done and relax? I'll end up taking a mid-day nap. Especially if one of the cats decides to get snuggly, a relaxed purring cat on my chest is bound to knock me out for at least 30 minutes.
