View Full Version : afternoon nap
i wanted to go out on my trials bike but i felt a bit tired, so i had an afternoon nap, but now i feel like carp. i hardly ever have an afternoon nap, but always feel worse after them
does anyone else partake in the activity of afternoon naps, and do the do you any good?
They make me feel bad too.

Yeah,an afternoon nap always makes me feel 5h1ty afterwards,then i get my second wind later on and can't sleep.
ok if your planning a late night though.
Never had them til I met my girlfriend, only had a few since then, when we've been especially tired (single bed is cramped for me, let along her as well.. :kiss:)
Never feel good after them either.

Depends on the shift and hours of work, feel crap afterwards too to begin with.

Working on a building site 6 days a week is nothing compared to a weekend together..
I find I'm disorientated after a nap. Woke up at half 4 in the afternoon, looked out the window and saw dad getting his bike out of the shed, and couldn't believe he was up so early to go for a ride..
I also find it mucks up my following nights sleep, which is bad enough as it is.

:shock: who did that i never got doubles!!!!!!!!! (or did i and i can't tell the differance)
Back on topic:
Sometimes afternoon naps make me feel a lot better other times i just want to carry on sleeping once i wake up as feel that bad. :rolleyes:
As above, it depends on the shift pattern I'm on. Sometimes I need a little extra sleep. Sometimes I don't.
When I do take a nap (be it morning or afternoon), I'm generally better for it.
hard as nails me
sleeping is for WHIMPS

Night shifts do funny things, specially when you do em every other week. I find I have morning naps, afternoon ones, any time of the day really. Hey its just one big doze. Nights are bad for my health
Ooooh I love power napping. 20 minutes here or a couple of hours there, I tend to sleep how I eat - whenever my body tells me I need it, commitments allowing.
When I was first off work with my dodgy knee my body seemed to naturally rotate to a 20 hour day - six hours up, four hours sleep, six up, four off etc. I actually felt great and really alert. It was only when I attempted to put my day back to a 'normal' timetable that I started to feel crappy...
... so now I try to stick to my bodies natural schedule as much as I can and feel much better for it.

I try and avoid them if I can, always feel groggy after. I hate sleeping in too, too much sleep makes me lethargic all day lol! I seem to work better on less sleep (say 5 or 6 hours), gawd knows why.

tbh it depends. if the lady is having one (and she likes em) then ill join her as theres ten a fair chance i might get some rumpy pumpy when she wakes up (you know shes still dazed and doesnt really know whats going off) else i dont bother as they make me feel rubbish when i wake then i canna get to sleep later and its all gone wrong.
Feeling down mid afto take a berocca and that will sort u out. Also works for morning after a few beers!

Doesn't matter how old or young you are, if you are tired why not have a nap!! Can't hurt!

Obvioulsy in those situations it would not be a nap, but sleeping off the shift. I was refering to if you are working normal hours.
But yes stop being gay and push throughtill the night bootneck!! ;):D

dunno?
probaly a mixture of late nights, early mornings, and trianing harder?

I agree i normally have an afternoon nap on a sunday while Falc is at work - after all the ridiculously early mornings we do during the week i deserve it

Do you not find the fitter you get the better you sleep and les tired you feel? I tend to.

I frequently take an afternoon nap, it's usually involuntary and occasionally I fail to get off the train at my stop.

I do it all the time , sometimes I have to get up at 5am to go to work , might work 13 hours and come home and have a couple of hours . I feel great afterwards . Sometimes I work too hard and come home and am in bed by 7pm to wake up at 5am and then I feel abysmal . My usual sleep pattern is to go to bed and grab about 6 hours and I feel like a fully functioning Human being (loose description of myself there :D) . My motto is usually to never go to bed the same day I woke up .
Then again I have been spotted a couple of times on North Wales rideouts grabbing a power nap with the paws up whilst you lot plough through your evening meal :D , could hardly sleep through all the noise of that cutlery dinging and clanging and the gnashing of the teeth .

I work 12 to 14 hrs. a day and sleep 4 to 5 hours.
I can get by on 3 hrs... Anything over seven hours and I feel worse than if I had not slept at all.
one then the other...perfect!!!!
As long as the nap is not first.
Like others I generally feel like carp after a nap.
