Longhorned.... Is this really a thing?



I totally missed it. God Damn It!!!!

[Longhorned]

You broke the standing nap barrier while operating expensive equipment. You don't need a designated day. Your naps own whatever day you want.

Think our country would really benefit from having an hour each workday designated for naps, meditation, beating off, whatever.

[Alieberman]

I've been working crazy hours this week but I just finished for the day. I am so excited for a nice nap. Will report back.

Time 2:06 pm EST

My back is slowly getting worse so just got some muscle relaxers and pain meds from my doc.

Took a glorious 2 hour pharma nap today. Love Sundays.

The first three words of that article are "Association of napping", so for a second there I thought it was about us.

Maybe part of the explanation is that napping re-sets your blood pressure to its lowest values. But we can't apply that to Nap League, where Salty was under such pressure to out-nap anyone that he complained about the rules.

[azgreg]

First rule of Nap League: Don't talk about Nap League.

I cannot put into words how happy I was when I saw this thread pop up again!

I have not taken a nap in over a month. My life is hell.

Y'all are rookies. Every. Goddamned. Day. After lunch and wine. Every. Day. Every. Time.

[ASUHATER!]

I still don't understand why anyone older than 5 takes naps

NASA actually performed a nap study. Their findings:

NASA's research showed that naps really can fully restore cognitive function at the same rate as a full night's sleep. The space agency found that pilots who slept in the cockpit for 26 minutes showed alertness improvements of up to 54% and job-performance improvements by 34%, compared to pilots who didn't nap

Not doubting the science at all, but it has never worked for me. Maybe I'm not old enough to appreciate it or exhausted enough from kids. I've taken maybe a dozen naps in the last 20 years and they always left me feeling groggy and stupified and even more tired.

There are whole countries based on this concept. So don’t start taking credit just yet...

I typically take a 15-20 minute nap at lunch time and its day-altering. Anything over like 45 minutes is where things get groggy and disgusting.

15 minute naps are perfect for me.

Once you get past an hour (unless you’ve gone without sleep for a long time) a nap is counterproductive.

Start your nap during daylight and wake up after the sun goes down and you’ve just ruined your entire week.

when that happens your brain is confused for hours and you feel hungover and disoriented like you just travelled through time or something

[CalStateTempe]

Lol...that happened to my daughter on my summer vacation and she swore it was 7am the next day.

Give her 50 years and she can pay me back.

[dovecanyoncat]

Pfft.....resume drinking. Problem solved.

[Longhorned]

Sounds like some skeptics here are candidates for the caffeine nap, where you drink a coffee, go to sleep, and get woken up by the caffeine kicking in 20-30 minutes later. I've only tried it once that I can remember, and that one time I was the most engaged, insightful, and articulate gentleman you've ever met in a bar on a weekday mid-afternoon.

[Chicat]

Woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep so I’m about to siesta for an hour or so.

Wish me luck.

[Chicat]

Could have used 6 more hours but I feel better.

If you're not nappin' you're not a player!

[Merkin]

I never nap, outside of being extremely sick. No wonder I CRS and only draw stick figures.

Same, last time I took a nap and wasn't sick was in the 90s

[scumdevils86]

I was a never-napper my entire life until I had a kid. Now I take one every day off from like noon-1/2ish. I wish I could on work days.

[azgreg]

I can't nap. If I take a nap I'm junk for the rest of the day.

[Alieberman]

So many amateurs in this thread....
