[saxodan]

being the busy business professinal that I am.. I find I dont get adequate sleep due to staying up working a lot.. haha yeha rite

So anyway.. who has power naps, quick 45 min sleep on the sofa etc before you go out??

Been doing it for years, its mint, even Jacques Chirac does it :wink:

I have done it a few times. Only if im soooooooo tired. But harder for girls cos if we sleep before we go out we have to re-do hair and makeup... well some of us. Just isnt practical.

[Robb]

french prime minister does it? WOW must start doing it from now......

[Predator_R32]

yeah ave done it when ive came back in from work, amazing how just half an hour sorts you out, tbh i cant get to sleep at night if i do have them

[Scattle]

Think you'd better go back to sleep for a good few years then ;)

[saxodan]

we all cant be as good looking as you leeroy

:P

[Wayne]

i sometimes sleep on the sofa 2 to 3 hours if i'm really tired, don't sleep on the sofa that often anymore.

[leeroybrown]

we all cant be as good looking as you leeroy

Exactly ;)

[Dan]

I have them occasionally, but tend not to as I'm always more tired after.

[doely_gti]

nope, cant do naps at all, i can stay up 2 days straight if need be(comes in handy when going out for a weekend). but as soon as i shut my eye's im evil when i wake back up if i havent had a proper sleep

[Jacko]

power naps always turn into 3 hour uber power naps for me...

[Raz]

cant say ive tried these, havent needed to lol

might try it tonight, see what all the fuss is about! :y:

[Jacko]

i often feel a little more tired after like dan said.

[saxodan]

power naps always turn into 3 hour uber power naps for me...

same

*set my alarm for 30 mins time...*

3 hours later the phone goes

"DAN WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU"

lol my bad

[Robb]

if you over do it you are more tired. 20-30 is best, any longer than like 40 you go into a deep sleep and wake up feeling worse than ruddys latest choke slam victim.

[rockerlad]

cant say ive tried these, havent needed to lol

might try it tonight, see what all the fuss is about! :y:

Yes try it........you will be hooked on power naps:P

[VTR-Sarah]

makes me feel worse if i have a nap. I just stick it out and fall into nice,warm cosy bed. cant beat your own bed!

[stiffler69]

had 1 last night was awesome

[SaxoJamie]

I never nap in the daytime. If I did I'd probably sleep for 9 hours then wake up and be like fu** where has the day gone

[jclaydon]

I do it all the time man, always ahead of whatever im doing in the evening, before fri/sat/sun usually. Dont have time on weeknights.

[Wayne]

i quite often power nap in my dads car when he's driving and wake up when i get to the car park in town.

[MARTYN19588]

never really works for me normally wake up feeling more tired. someone in work does it for 10 - 15 mins every lunch time tho

[Clouds_mate]

you can sleep when you dead imo...

[JonoPhillips]

if i get the full 45min - an hour it works a treat, if i get woken up after 15 mins i'm more tired n grumpy as hell lol

[L8R_VTR]

Sometimes work for me and other times they just dont its bloody annoying when you wake up worse than when you went to bed lol!!

[saxodan]

had 1 last night was awesome

[Ry_B]

Makes me more tired and i just wna go back to sleep...

[craig180]

I have to have power naps all the time, if I sleep too long the colostomy bag fills up

[AdamW]

Did it the other weekend......Went out at midday....couple of pints and was planning on going back out about 7pm.....got home...powernap...woke up at 3am...loads of missed calls and a patch of druel

[Hanuman]

just makes me wanna stay asleep, seems pointless "sleeping for 30mins" surely its like im going for a run.... for 1 minute

i remember been told by someone who studied this kind of thing and they said something like its pointless sleeping for less than 1 hr as it doesnt give you any benefit of sleep, it takes something like a min of 2 hrs to have the benefitsd of sleeping, anything less is all rapid eye movement thoughts alll that polava

but did get told if you do an all nighter and dont sleep to make up for not sleeping for a day you only have to add an extra 1 hr on top of your usual sleep to be back to square one with ur body clock

[Hanuman]

obviously its one of the subjects all the top dudes dissagree with

[Chris]

I go and sit on the throne when I'm at work and have a little kip on there!!

Chris :)

[VTR_Nick]

If i sleep for a short time like that i feel worse than before i went to sleepplus how old are you grandad lol

[rockerlad]

tried to have one yesterday when i got in. went to sleep at 5 didnt wake up till 7:15 opps :y:

[CloVis]

I need a powernap right now... takes me like 30mins just to get to sleep

[rushy_23]

I have done it a few times. Only if im soooooooo tired. But harder for girls cos if we sleep before we go out we have to re-do hair and makeup... well some of us. Just isnt practical.

I love a good nap here and there, but I usually do it when I get in from uni
or work.

Agree with n00b Clovis on this one, cant do it before I go out else I dribble all
over the mullet and have to re-straighten my hair, redo makeup etc etc.

[doely_gti]

agree with rushy, it is a pain in the @rse when we gotta do our makeup etc after a quick nap, sleepings for girls

[JimoVTR]

[Graeme]
