And I have come to believe or at least wonder if we don't overemphasize the importance of long periods of sleep--8-10 hours. We sleep that long for reasons other than their purported health benefits, like it's cold in the winter and who wants to be up and around then?<br />RichardRichard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-24351624592377152952010-05-16T14:58:45.924-10:002010-05-16T14:58:45.924-10:00I spent the last 2 years doing full-time undergrad...I spent the last 2 years doing full-time undergraduate studies and working fulltime. Napping was the key to my success.<br /><br />I would come home from work and have a 2 hr nap before waking at 8-9pm and studying through till 1-2 am and then sleeping till 7:30 the next morning.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-91621666057498320652010-02-26T14:05:19.761-10:002010-02-26T14:05:19.761-10:00Naps are good, restorative.

Another proud napper was the great Winston Churchill, who some smirky liberal mouthpieces of the day also accused on perpetual napping.

They will be rejected without further consideration. If you do not have the courage to stand up publicly for your ideas and feelings, you can express them elsewhere. From the start, the author of this blog has identified himself, and has been willing to take his lumps in the naked public square.

It certainly induced me to doze off. <br /><br />I am anxiously awaiting the next topic you might tackle; perhaps you will enlighten us with your position on the long-standing literary argument for eating an apple a day?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-74393702125493080812010-02-25T06:36:40.091-10:002010-02-25T06:36:40.091-10:00Stephanie:

I always got a little bit sleepy after lunch in the days when I had a job, at least one that paid me for what I was doing and liking it enormously. But the sleepiness eventually passed which I remember thinking at the time how interesting that was. And I know there are some grounds for believing a mid-day nap can lead to a sleepless night, but I think that depends on the individual and the depth of the mid-day snooze.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment,<br />The NapperRichard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-71266511895690647062010-02-25T06:36:39.108-10:002010-02-25T06:36:39.108-10:00Stephanie:

But then I had probably gotten up at 7 a.m after having gone to bed well after midnight. No more! I'm up at 5 during the week and between 5:30 and 7 on weekends depending when the sun rises. My job wouldn't appreciate it much if I napped in the afternoon and weekends I find unless I am really tired for some reason, a nap messes up my night time sleep.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
