it's a sunny/cloudy .. sort of 'quiet day' today .. i've been 'napping' and reading while travelling from a 'hired-man's bed' that i set up on the tin roof covered porch .. and the hammock out in the yard with beside the prayer flags and the wind chimes.
what a wonderfully lazy day! where do you girls take a little 'nappette' from time to time?

No naps here! I'm one of those people who wakes up from naps disoriented, out of sorts, and feeling cruddy. I do fall asleep while watching a Sunday afternoon movie from time to time, but it's never a good thing. I'm jealous of those folks who can nap and wake up all rejuvenated!
Some people search for happiness; others create it.

I can't fall asleep quickly and like Patti I don't do naps well. I do fall asleep in a chair while watching movies..and wake up sorta cranky and stiff. I am a night owl and would love to have a quiet long sleep late morning now and then..but not any year soon..too many kids and a cow to milk etc...
I wish I were the type that could take a quick cat nap and wake up refreshed!!
I do like to stretch out on the sofa or on my bed and read sometimes though!! Outside on the "sweetheart swing" in the summer for reading...I love a cool breeze and to stretch out on my stomach with my lavender scented pillow to read.

Well I did figure out that 10 to 15 minutes has to be it or I'am in a fog and don't feel so prety good. But as far as a quite day, I love to putter around, sometimes get in over my head and then it is not so much a quite day anymore and I could really use that 15 minute nappie.

I am one who can rejuvinate with a quick 10 minute snooze. I learned to do this when the hubby was in the hospital and it seemed I never could sleep. Now I take a quick nippy nap when I have too many stressful things going on and I can find the time. In a house full of kids, dog and cat I am lucky to find 10 minutes. Oh and by the way, our new little kitty is going to be a mommy. Apparantly came to us prego.

| I only take naps when I can't keep myself from falling asleep. I feel 10 times worse afterwards. Can't figure out how to take a 10 min power nap, you can't set a timer because you don't know when you're going to fall asleep so I can end up with an hour nap and then I'm tired the rest of the day. |

i'm not a 'napper' either really .. but yesterday was SUCH a treat day .. where i just stayed home and did 'dis an dat' .. and it was too lovely NOT to lay down and read for awhile .. and close my eyes.
i, too, cannot take a nap .. unless i'm OUT for the night! and if i DO nap .. i'm up t'il 4 or 5 a.m. bright eyed and bushy tailed!

| If I could set the order of my days with any freedom, I would take a half hour nap in mid-afternoon. I did this when I was in college, and it was the most productive and healthy I've ever been. Definitely works best when I can stretch out and give my whole body a rest, but even ten minutes with my head down on a desk is better than nothing. Sadly, corporate culture frowns on this sort of thing. The worst thing you can do at my new job, from what I hear, is be caught sleeping. I guess they prefer me to be sleepy and unproductive. |

| I love days when there is nothing pressing to get done and I can just relax and read and yes, sometimes sneak in a nap. I have a very soft couch that I stretch out on. I wish I had somewhere outside but alas I don't have much of a yard. |

I love a lazy day every now & again but they are very rare for me. I don't nap, not a great sleeper to begin with, always thinking of the next thing I need to do. A nice rooftop sounds pretty good.

Frannie,
I'd be more afraid of falling IN than of falling OFF!
