    I nap whenever I both want to do it, and can do it. Since the first child, I gained newfound appreciation for sleep time. These last couple of weeks I’ve been taking a quick nap in-between dropping the youngest at daycare and starting my work day lol

    Sometimes! I love naps. I love being able to dream so I can get ideas. Especially when it’s cold out and the heating is on. Those nights are so comfy! 😌

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

    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.

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

      The key to feeling refreshed is keeping them extremely short (think about 15 minutes tops), you need to wake up before hitting deep sleep or you have to wait for your next REM cycle to be over. It’s admittedly pretty problematic when you have trouble falling asleep. My wife has this problem too, and she’s a light sleeper on top, so naps don’t work well for her. If I lay down for sleep, it happens in a matter of minutes, so a 15-20 minute power nap is easy and very efficient.

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

    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.

    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.
