But, the other day I put my nap prejudices aside. After a busy week of work/school, basketball practice, games, and all my other mom duties, I found myself overwhelmingly tired. I came home at noon to a quiet house and thought, "What the heck?" I got more comfortable, closed the blinds and pulled back the blankets. I had to pile on extra blankets because without my personal furnace in bed to keep me warm (he's like a Jacob in that capacity), it just wasn't going to happen. Then, I found myself burrowing under the covers pulled up over my head, like a fort to block out more light. Within a short time, I was out and it was divine. I think I am cured of my Anti - Napiteness. I think a nap a day is just the answer for more energy in the evening.
A good nap is so welcome if I can pull it off! Sometimes the body just needs a bit more rest!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE sleep. I'd sleep all day and night if it was up to me. Lately, it's been pretty hectic enough that I am unable to nap like I used to. With all except one kid at school, I try to catch a quick nap after I sent the kids off to school and before my little one wakes up. It helps boost some energy for me during the day. I'm glad you're able to finally see the wonderful benefit of napping during the day.
ReplyDeleteI used to hate naps too. I would never sleep when the baby was sleeping, there was too much to do! Now I savor and adore them. I don't get them often enough by any means!
ReplyDeleteMan, I LOVE naps!!
ReplyDeleteI love naps! I try to take one at least once or twice a month. I would swear that naps make me a better Mom. Kudos to you on curing your bad nap vibes!
