Is it nap time yet?

It's 4:30 in the afternoon and I've got all I can do to keep my head up. A nap sounds wonderful, but then I may lay awake all night. Tea? Diet Coke? It's kinda late for caffeine for the same reasons. Do you nap? Do you have a cutoff time beyond which you slog through the rest of the day?

Let's give up the fight, J, put our heads down and let go.

I want to wake up with a computer screen full of fs.

ppfzzzz, the screen is so wide now Evil or Very Mad

Yes, I love to nap, although I not always can if I want to.
10 minutes is all it takes, and if I am really feeling sluggish (especially
in the summer heat), I drink an espresso and nap for 10 minutes.
The caffeine usually kicks in around that time too, and 15 min later I am as good as new.

I'm sorry did you say something?

I was napping.

Yes, JPB, but not until I was over 50. When I nap I always set the alarm and seldom sleep longer than 30 to 45 minutes because I will not be able to sleep at night if I sleep longer.

Like CJ, I used to get by on 10 or 15 minutes and that was when I had little kids!

No guilt here. There are too many studies about the great benefit of naps.

I usually fall asleep on the couch around 9:30. Mr B wakes me on his way to bed and I go right back to sleep. I call it my pre-bed nap.

I seldom sleep in the afternoon. Today could be one of those days.

I wake up fairly early and often stay up late. I don't work at a firm where I have to look sharp at all times anymore, so I can take a nap when I want to. It usually doesn't go more than an hour, and is usually in the afternoon.

My most productive time of day has always been around 4:30 in the afternoon on, and that's still true. That's inconvenient if you have a family life going strong, but works out ok for an older person like me.

Heh, my most productive time is the first hour of the morning which usually begins around 5:30 or 6:00 am.

My feet hit the floor running, and it's all downhill from there.

When I'm tired and need to stay awake, I shower. Just a quick dowsing helps to sort of slap me awake.

Good point, littlek. That would require getting out of my chair though. Big decisions make me weary.
