How often do you have a nana nap? How much sleep do you need to feel optimal?

[amberj]

I need 8-9 hours sleep a night...sleep is my best friend. Bed is my very favorite place! I think I usually get about 8 hours, sometimes a bit more.

I would nana nap every single day if I could. I adore naps. But alas, there seems to be little time for naps except sometimes on a weekend.

Sleep is awesome and you should NEVER feel guilty for partaking!

Well I don't have any kidlets, but seem to be lacking something because am always tired! On the weekends, I often have an hour nap in the afternoon, yesterday I had two hours because I was out late the night before.

I have 1 ds, and when he naps, i nap.. I get about 7-8 hours (broken) a night, but I've always loved my sleep, so need more.. but I think you're health has a lot to do with it - I'm over-weight at the moment, and i think that plays a big part in me feeling tired and lacking of energy most of the time..

I have the odd nana nap if I can, but only if I can't keep my eye's open & DD's are at school & DS sleeping.
I might have one a month. I get 7 - 8 hours sleep most nights, but still find it hard to wake up every morning.
I go to bed around 10.30 - 11 (usually!) & I'm up around 7 - 7.30 most mornings for school. Sometimes earlier.

I feel guilty sleeping & most of the time I find it hard to sleep through the day.

I hardly ever nana nap. About 5 times this last 12 months. I tend to do it when either she or both of us is ill, because she hasn't had a regular nap since she was about 20 months old and if she doesn't sleep then i can't either.

As for how much i need to feel optimal....i don't know, i'll tell you whenever i finally get enough!
