That was weird....Yesterday, I came back from the hospital at just before noon and was really sleepy. Still the turkey???
Thought about that and it didn't make any sense at all, since I'd had so much sleep the night before, but there it was...So went ahead with a 90 minute nap wondering just how that would go.
We're taking the weekend more or less off except my hospital rounds, so a lot of freely schedule-able time these few days.
Woke up just before the ringer at 89 minutes
, had plenty of energy the rest of the day, to sleep at 11:15P and up on time at 3:45 this morning.
Well, even if morning naps are the best for me physiologically, I'm not sure I want to turn other people's worlds upside down to accomplish that bit of scheduling ! (I guess a nap at noon is a good 8 hours into the day for me, so if I was getting up at 7am, I'd be getting that nap in at 3)
David, I've read somewhere that morning might be a good time for naps...have you ever tried doing your naps in the morning routinely, or are you like me and it wouldn't work schedule wise?
Strategy next couple days will be to try to stick with 430-6 as nap time, see how that feels. I'm thinking that for both nightsleep and naps, it might be a good idea to have a set time, then if something gets in the way, adjust to that with emphasis on the 90 minute blocks...
