Only if I have to get up particularly early for something and also have to time to nap later in the day.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I can not nap. I've tried, but I can't fall asleep at all during the day. Hell, I barely fall asleep at night and that is with medication.
I don’t nap, but it baffles me that someone would be horrified over someone else having regular naps. If a nap takes you to your happy place, you do you.
Yep! I'm an old lady that loves naps, no big deal
Oh, daily! Because the kitten will nap with me under the blankets, and the kitten tells me I must nap, and it's illegal to ignore a kitten. So the kitten tells me.
Every day if I can. I love me my nap.
Never. I do not have the ability to fall asleep during the day.
About once every other day. Sometimes once a day if it's a rough week
I love napping , almost every day!!!
If I nap, I can't sleep when actual bedtime rolls around. So, pretty much only when I'm sick.
This, right here.
If I'm at home, every day.
Obviously, at least twice a day.
Less jokey, that's not untrue some days. I'm fucking old inside. Farting makes me tired.
I almost never nap. I stay tired for an hour or so after waking up, so if I sleep I need to account for the time I need to wake up afterwards, since I don't really do anything useful in that time. Because of this, I only use naps when I really need to, and I try to sleep for at least 3-5 hours if I go to sleep at all.
As an adult only on the rare occasions when I’ve missed a night of sleep entirely and I wouldn’t exactly call it a nap at that point
Pretty much only occasionally when I'm sick or really hungover -- and then only before late afternoon. I get strong sleep inertia, so if I'm not careful, a nap means I'm groggy all evening then can't fall asleep at a reasonable time. 😞
Only when the following conditions apply.
-
I’ve screwed up my sleep cycle. (At least once a week. You know, because digital entertainment exists…)
-
I’ve had to wake up early. (very often)
-
I feel tired in the afternoon. (a bit rare)
-
There’s nothing urgent going on in the afternoon. (often)
On average, I tend to take a 1-2 naps every week. If I did that every day, it would be a sign of something gone horribly wrong with my life.
My sleep cycle is currently a mess, but when it's well-oiled I typically take a 20min nap after lunch every day.
Less now that we drink less alcohol in the evenings and don’t eat so much carbs
That said, having a 3 year old kid can be exhausting at times and I need a power so after getting up at 6 after waking up multiple times a night
Never. I'm having enough trouble sleeping at night and I think napping your life away isn't a great idea anyway.
Oh I hate napping! Makes me feel so horrible and I dread it if I'm tired in the day
At minimum every Sunday. Also after work depending on what time I get home; I have a very variable schedule. So I guess, every chance I get.
I had a nap yesterday afternoon, which is probably the first for several months. However, I am on holiday for a couple of weeks now, so will probably be having more over that time.
Sometimes twice a day, about a third of days.
If I've not slept well I have a 15 minute nap after breakfast. I like to nap again after lunch or around 3pm when I'm flagging.
Almost never. If I nap, SO knows there's something wrong with me.
On weekends when I went to bed late the day before because my inner clock makes me always want to wake up at 6:30 the latest.
Nowhere near as much as I'd like to!
Almost never. I usually wake up feeling worse after I nap, so I only really have them if I'm feeling sick or slept poorly the night before.
Maybe once a month, typically to try to compensate for a drastic sleep schedule shift.
