I'm glad you posted this, as yesterday I was interested in the promo about it in upcoming TV news, then forgot to watch it. I agree naps are most dangerous if there is an underlying cause as to why they are needed. Thanks Hope.

Well, I am not giving up my afternoon naps, even if it kills me.

I only actually get to take one maybe once a week.

Ilove to lie down to take a nap...but I despise having to get up groggy for the rest of the day!

You're welcome Anne. It worries me because I know several people who take a nap every day and have been doing so for years.

Lars!!!! Now what would we do around here without you!

Actually I think the dangerous naps are the ones that last over an hour, so if you keep it shorter than that you'll probably be alright.

Aww Wandrin sorry to spoil your afternoon.

I agree with you Saint, I discovered years ago that naps a lot of times made me feel worse!

I'm the opposite. I'm slow to wake up in the morning but wake up quickly and feeling refreshed on those few days I allow myself a nap.

Yeah, My Grandmother took a nap every day. She only lasted until she was 94.

Gosh. Thanks.

When I take a nap it is usually about 20 minutes. And I wake feeling totally refreshed.

Sometimes during a project, we were running full tilt for three or four days to get the job done. About every eight hours, I can find a quiet corner and grab such a nap. It will keep me going through the whole project.

Killer Naps? What's the problem? Killers nap just as much as anyone else. Ted Bundy used to nap for hours after a hard night's work off-campus.

LOL I see what you mean but it's not naps for killers....it's naps that can kill you! :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl

Lars if your naps are that short you'll probably be okay. It like one of the news guys telling the story said, sometimes you just have to have a nap.
