Why do people have naps?

smellybelly1991

I've never understood this..why people have naps! I'd hate the feeling of wasting half my day sleeping..when I sleep the whole night as well, plus when you wake up don't you get that grouchy morning feeling all over again?! My boyfriends currently having one of his daily naps..and I know he'll probably go to bed about an hour after he wakes up..why not just stay away and power through? Or go to bed early?!

bc they're tired..

Some of us don't sleep that well st night.

I think the real question is why wouldn't you have naps haha

For real though, as someone whose perpetually sleepy (despite getting 8+ hours sleep every night if possible), they are a godsend :biggrin:

trueee but after a nap you can get up whenever you want, unlike in the morning when there's school or whatever :biggrin:

Not everyone got your energy levels! Some people feel drained more easily and naps put them in a better place. God, u think everyone's body can cope like urs. How ignorant :hmmm:

Some people do stressful activities throughout the day, so napping is a way to refresh their mind and also reduce stress. It's definitely not a waste of time.
