can really fuck up your sleep schedule! :evil:
I fell asleep on the couch a little after 11pm, and woke up at 1am (a bit more then a cat nap) but now it's 4:40am and I'm really not tired. I've been getting better with sleeping the past few days and now this flub really screwed me up! :shock:

goodnight.... Hopefully! :?

    Naps are the best.... but I try not to nap because I usually end up napping for 2-3 hours and then I can't sleep at night. :(

    Naps rock!
    I don't take a lot of them just occasionally on a Saturday afternoon when I'm snuggling with my dogs...nice snooze for an hour.

    But if I fall asleep at 11pm on my couch and wake up at 1am? I'm either going to head upstairs to bed or go back to sleep on the couch!
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    I don't like naps, for the reasons mentioned here (sleeping later) and I feel messed up afterwards.
    And 3 hours is not a nap, that's a sleep ;)

    haha, I missed the hours! I just caught singularity's post.
    Still, 2 hours is long for a nap.

    naps rule if used properly, but when abused they can make you feel more tired. i usually set my alarm for 25 minutes from the start of the nap, 5 mins to nod off and then a 20 minute power nap, anything less and i wake up groggy, pissed off and tired....as mentioned above.


    naps....use them wisely

    I whole heartedly endorse the practice of napping. There's nothing like a 20, 30 minute nap to recharge the battery and drive on the rest of the day :mrgreen:

    naps....use them wisely

    Hello, my name is..., and I abuse naps. This thread made me see the light. 2 hours is too much? I nap alone too. I wake up and I need a nap just to get going. I've tried to cut down, and all I want is more. :mrgreen:

    Seriously, I have sworn off naps temporarily because I am having sleep issues and it just fucks up my already screwy sleep cycle. I was wondering if anyone here has ever done a sleep study? I'm going next month and don't really know what will come of it. I've had friends with apnea who have to wear these masks, though I'm hoping that isn't it. My doctor and I have tried every sleep med known to man, and nothing has worked. Hence the study.
    Anyone have any experience?
