    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 try, but I’m very bad at napping. It takes me more than an hour to fall asleep unless I’m absolutely exhausted. If I just happen to nod off on the couch naturally, my wife or dog wakes me within minutes, so I never get to enjoy that either.

    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! 😌

    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.

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

      I sometimes schedule hour long “meetings” for myself and mark them as Private. It’s honestly done WONDERS for my productivity when I’m stressed. The rest of the day I get twice as much done

        Same, I’ve been doing this lately. I started noticing colleagues block off time on their calendars with events just called “Busy” and realized that’s probably what they’re doing. It’s great, and everybody seems to do it, at least at my job. We’re all remote (always have been, even pre-pandemic), and all trust each other to get our jobs done, so everybody wins.

    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.

      Same. I used to nap in class in high school as a bad habit, but was always more tired after.

    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.

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