i love naps in school. you get in alot of trouble for it, but you just lay back put your head on the desk behind you, and take a 90 min nap. by the time the principle is in the classroom waking you up, you are already freshly rested and ready to take another nap in the next class. when you take 4 naps and the principle has the come in each of my classes waking me up, i get a FREE day at home with nothing to do but sleep! its a great day when i am at school sleeping, and the principle offers a free day at home for me!

I only have two options to get over my afternoon nap attack:

Overload on caffeinated beverages. Shake for the rest of the afternoon.

Park on the top of the parking garage (where no one else parks) and nap furtively in my car over lunch.

I am not proud of either and wish there was a better alternative.

My wife has taken a nap after lunch almost every day of our 44 year marriage. On the few days she’s missed you don’t want to be around.

I wish I could nap. Only time I can sleep during the daytime is if I’m home sick. Then I sleep around the clock. I don’t think that counts as a nap either. (O_o)

I second that taking a nap in bed is “too official”. Many times I lie down for a half hour nap, but when my alarm goes off, I feel way too comfy, so I just turn it of and roll back over– zzzzz (this however, is usually on a Saturday or Sunday when I’m procrastinating over household chores)

I have to agree with this, particularly #3. I’ve been doing early morning radio for years… I get up at 3:30AM… and learning how to nap was vital. Believe it or not, it takes practice to get so you don’t feel foggy when you wake up. Another rule I follow: I never nap in bed. That’s too “official.” I nap on the couch or in my recliner… it’s much more conducive to getting up and becoming productive again.

It’s not white noise that relaxes you,white noise is an intense hiss that is guaranteed to make you tense. What is needed is blue noise, like rain, on a tin roof.

Logan, try taking a melatonin right before bed. It’s great, I have mild insomnia (getting to sleep, not staying asleep, is my problem), and I’m 14. (:
