I would @Fergal but am afraid of not hearing my ringtones for calls and texts.

I put my phone on airplane mode anytime I take a nap. Why would you want to hear calls and texts when you are taking a nap? Are any of them really that important that they need to interrupt your short nap?

Yes, very important to myself. What if a loved one really needed me, myself and I?

Naps are my best friend. I gotta take one every day or I'm cranky like a little kid. Unfortunately it messes up my sleep schedule so now I get up at weird times and either get too much sleep or not enough. Oh well. Such is life. I'm not giving up my naps.

[Spontaneo]

I just gave up on reading a book for pleasure instead of for work. The book is about the Slim Fast diet which I have been on since the new year and have lost 11 pounds.

My eyes hurt. My back hurts.

If the book would have been a cookbook, like usual, I would have been fine. I write cookbook reviews.

So, I prepared myself a mocha. The mocha tasted awful.

Earlier today, I took a siesta and had a nightmare.

grrrrr

Hopefully, all gets better.

Remind me to stick to cookbooks!

I usually feel like this most times but most times when I am so stressed out and tired I just tend to force myself cause I know the body needs it.

[Fidelia]

I personally don't hesitate to take a siesta as much as my body needs it. Whenever I feel sleepy, I drop every form of work and sleep. Life is too short to complicate it with stress related health conditions in the future.

I did not get my nap in yesterday so I was cranky as hell. I've been awake for close to 24 hours now because I was too stressed out for a nap and now I'm too frustrated to sleep.

I agree with you. Some people tell me though that they can't take a siesta for one reason or another. Mostly because of their job. Get a work-from-home job!

[SHAHID987]

Taking siesta or nap has much more health benefits inside it. I take it regularly because I am not any more in 9-5 job. In business you can close it during afternoon and do it easily.

[Spontaneo]

Quite often, I require maybe a mini-meal and some water. When I am tired, I could be hungry. Then again, if I do have food, I could get tired.

What do you think?

[Trush Jodie]

I hardly have time for siesta these days. I easily get tired and dizzy due to lack of sleep. I need to go back to the good old days when I'd take a nap and cool my head so I wouldn't break down

[Spontaneo]

Quite often, if I am in my bedroom office, I have a little ritual.

I might brew a mocha but lay down on my futon while the mocha cools off. I do not like drinks hot.

However, I may have some water with a water enhancer instead.

Then, either way, I am rejuvenated!

[Kalayla]

A siesta is something I have tuned myself to do as a daily routine. The brain needs that rest to cool off.

[SHAHID987]

Just taken siesta and woke up with new energy it remain for half an hour but re-energies me always.

[Presh]

With this kind of weather we are experiencing in my country, a siesta on a bare tiled floor is a must unless it would affect your brain.

[OldGuy]

Seems like I am living a 14 day week. I generally wake up around 5:30 to 6 am and go out for my offline work, at least for my seasonal March to December schedule. When I finish and go back home, I am usually asleep within a few minutes of coming in the door. I can drop off in seconds. I guess that counts for a siesta. I sleep for several hours and then wake up again around 6 to 7 pm to start my evening "day".

That's when I enjoy a big dinner, wash dishes and do other housework and then spend time on the computer for a few hours. Back to bed around 2 am to go for the next daylight shift. Even though I only get around 4 hours of sleep during each shift, I still end up with around 8 hours per 24 hours. Works for me.

[Spontaneo]

Quite often, my roommate and others say that they wish that they could take siestas also.

They chose their lifestyle. They should not have taken on their work schedules.

[Spontaneo]

I am curious.

How many of you prefer a good siesta either on a bed, on a couch or on a recliner?

I like to have a good siesta on my futon.

[Fergal]

How many of you prefer a good siesta either on a bed, on a couch or on a recliner?

Mostly I get into bed and nap for about 25 minutes. If I have only a short amount of time, e.g. 10 or 15 minutes, I'll just lied on the couch.

Interesting. I do not have a bed. I have a futon as my bedroom is also my office. So, when I am in office mode, I can sit. When in bedroom mode, I can lay down.

I just submitted 2 cookbook reviews to weekendnotes/toopa and am waiting for the reviews to be published. I need a siesta but the cat has claimed my futon as his bed! grrrrr
