Does Your Mood Improve After Napping? - Page 2

I had to vote no. If I am so short on sleep it effects my mood then only getting an hour or two will make me double pissed when I have to get back up. I never wake up nice. I normally need a "full" rest of 4 hours or so. I just cannot do a partial charge though normal people may argue 4 hours is not full.

It has been my safety zone since i was young. If it is all to much or i feel my self loosing it. I will go and wrap myself up in bed , and ill fidget nonstop for a while and hopefully go to sleep. it used to drive my wife crazy but now we both understand why i do it

I think napping is kind of an escape or break for me. It makes me stop and calm my thoughts. Place things into perspective by prioritizing the to do list.
It's a mini-mental vacation to me.

yes definitely..
most of the time. but if woken up in wrong cycle/early - has opposite effect.

it does take alot of discipline to do this tho... i know when i have lived on my own, i knew to force myself to have a sleep and get over it.. but being with the expectations of others and "youre an adult, you just dont do those things" both from parent/siblings but also guilt prone now being a parent & wife..

I voted yes, somewhat. Napping was actually recommended by my sleep specialist to be added into my daily routine. It's hard to add them routinely but when I do, I notice some difference.
