I don’t understand how people can just nap, then wake up and be good and refreshed. When I wake up from a nap I’m always dehydrated, brain-dead, cranky, hot, and just not good…
I don’t take naps really, never have. I can see what you are saying though.
Probably one of the reasons cats act the way they do sometimes? To much sleep?
Guess that you are just more of a mental person? You need your mind at top speed?
Don’t take naps?
Everything followed by a question mark?

I try to avoid naps if I can.
And I try to avoid oversleeping if I can… or undersleeping. Need just the right amount.
Always were i balanced in such matters.
Not now though. I try and sleep all of the time now.
Coma sounds like heaven.

Same here. I will stay up all night if I nap too long.
Some of my best art was done in the middle of the night.

Same here. I wake up like “when’s breakfast??” to find it is dinner time. I do not want chicken instead of oatmeal I say!

Before I came to the attention of the psychiatric services napping was used as an ‘as required’ medicine. If things got too bad I would just go to sleep.
Now napping in the day makes me stay up all night.
Napping frequently is a short-cut to circadian rhythm dysfunction. As a last resort or isolated occurrence - probably the lesser of the evils, but it will still take a few days for your bio-clock to get back to wherever it was; and let’s be honest, we’re not talking “back to perfect” for the most of us.
The impact of circadian rhythm disruption cannot be understated.
Abstract:
A new study has found that chronic disruption of one of the most basic circadian (daily) rhythms – the day/night cycle – leads to weight gain, impulsivity, slower thinking, and other physiological and behavioral changes in mice, similar to those observed in people who experience shift work or jet lag.
