    No. If I nap during the day, I always wake up with a headache.

    I hate the word power-nap because when you add 'power' to something it makes it sounds like it will take strength/effort. I would rather call it a lazy-nap. *nods* But yeah, I take them on occasion after work. I like 'em. I also have the odd nap in the afternoon if I don't get much sleep the night before (during the days I'm not working, that is).

    Once in a blue moon, I do agree that sleep=good. But sometimes there's just other things that have to be done that have priority.

    Totally. I don't know how I'd function without sleeping through half my lectures.

    I sometimes feel the need to nap. But, kind of like Xander, I feel sick and groggy if I nap and wake up. And sometimes there is all this sweat on the back on my neck and my hair is all itchy and my skin is easily irritated and I feel like I have a rash and so much more.

    I will rarely, however, wake up from a nap feeling refreshed and ready to go. Rarely, though.

    Power nap means like recharging your power! Well I thought ^^ So it kinda makes sense but eh..

    Yeah I don't get that sleeping making you refreshed thing, I very very rarely wake up from any sort of sleeping feeling ready to go and awake. XD

    Yeah, that never fails.

    But I like that I have this feeling that I've gained an extra day after I nap, which is totally wrong. Silly brain!

    yeh...well...whenever im jus sittin around doin nothin...i usually fall asleep outta boredom....
    Life is the longest damn thing you can do!

    And perhaps the cat died of thirst or starvation? Not letting people sleep is a form of torture. Matthew Hopkins used it on witches.

    If I do take a nap, it's only around 20 minutes or so. More than that and it's just a tease of actual sleep and I feel pissed off.

    Two hours is not a power nap. A power nap is like ten minutes. A nap shouldn't be longer than 30 minutes.

    I usually nap sleep for like four hours, take a four hour nap, then sleep another four hours.

    Generally if I don't nap after school I get way too drained before I can even touch my homework.
