Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

A Daily Nap

June 24, 2018

Babies and toddlers aren’t the only ones who need naps – people my age do too. Well, any age really. I started taking naps at 1pm every day when I was pregnant with my last 3-4 kids. They were short maps – 20 minutes max – but very helpful.

Lately, I’ve taken up napping again, usually around 4pm, but, instead of napping on the couch, I go to my room. Yeah, that’s right I lay on the bed and nap. I’ve rediscovered my room as a retreat of sorts. So, sometimes I read a little, or do a smidge of internet surfing on my ipad, but the idea is to rest. And I do. Even if I don’t sleep, it gives my mind and body a little bit of quiet and I am energized to take on making dinner and the evening’s happenings.

Naps – they’re a good thing.

Oh man, bed naps are dangerous. Just waiting to become a two hour nap.
Still, naps _are_ the best.

Luckily I don't have to worry about having that long of a nap although anything more than 30 minutes usually is not good for me. The last time I took a really long nap was the day I got back from my vacay last year.
