Yep always happens if i sleep in the day, thats why i try and avoid getting too comfortable lol
yeh i get like that too. worries my bf half to death.
I used to, but now I've become amazingly accustomed to napping! I have no lectures in the afternoon and am often tired after a late night, so have a nap for a couple of hours. I think that if doesn't usually happen if you only nap when you're actually tired - then you feel refreshed when you wake up, rather than rubbish.

I've struggled many times not to fall asleep in school, but normally only when a boring teacher of a boring subject (eg History, English, French, Science) is droning on. Usually in the summer, I'll get home, sit down, and fall asleep. Don't worry - we all need a little siesta every now and then

I hate waking up after a nap. I had a nap today and wok up about 2 hours ago and Im only just starting to feel better again. As you said try drinking something sugary and move about a bit. It will pass. The best thing is not to need to nap during the day in the first place!
As long as you nap for less than 30 minutes or so, you won't go inot deep sleep- ie. proper sleep- and so won't feel so rubbish when you wake up!

I used to sleep all the time coming back from sixth form, once I woke up early evening, so confused, that I walked down stairs and made myself breakfast and sat watching tv, I then got confused why the morning news wasn't on, my family loved it *embarassed*

napping seems to be a regular occurence amongst students, i find drinking water before dozing off helps with the grogginess afterwards

Not me.

I seriously can't help it. I will be watching tv and my eyes are so heavy and I can't concentrate that I think, oh its ok, i'll just listen to it for a while.
So I close my eyes, 2 seconds later im in the land of nod.

My naps range from 1/2 hour to 2 hrs. I feel **** every time.

Im moving to spain! Siesta's!!!

I love napping, but then sometimes i do feel grumpy afterwards!!!
I love napping but hate it at the same time.


When I wake up I have a horrible taste in my mouth and my teeth ache. Also as I'm fully clothed I'm always sweating.


Then again nothing beats a nap in front of the TV after college.

yeh naps are great!

but...i would suggest if you feel that you always need a suagary drink or something, maybe get a blood test for diabetes.
i drink ALOT of squash and tend to nap quite a bit, and my doctors thought it could be diabetes at one point..but it wasn't, so still unexplained!

but i love sleeping (and drinking) so it doesn't bother me!

Arghhh don't say that. I'm worried I might have diabetes.

I don't really have an medical knowledge of the condition but sometimes during sport I can get very dizzy faint - and have been sick (could this be a sign of lacking sugar).

I don't want to go and have a test because if it is diabetes I really don't want to know! - which again is stupid.

doubt its that serious, go to the docs anyway and explani it all, they may suggest changes in your diet or more exercise. Gio and get advice, or call NHS direct
