I don't remember the last time I took a nap!

I'm so terrible at naps. I have to be so tired I can't walk to take a nap. I had 1.5 months off work before LO was born & I would always try to take naps, deep breaths, no phone, cool, dark room & I could set a timer for an hour, having never opened my eyes & still be awake. I went to kindergarten back when they still gave naps & I never usually napped then either...it's just not in me. I wish it was. DH had high sleep needs, dude loves naps & early bedtimes!

I love naps. If I could nap everyday, I would!

Definitely! And at the end of pregnancy, I often need two/day...

I don't really care for naps! It is really hard for me to fall asleep and if I do fall asleep, when I wake up I am very grouchy and I usually feel worse.

Yes!

I wish I could nap! I've never been a napper, which made the first few weeks after LO's arrival tough

DH and I love naps. More likely then not we nap on the weekends while R does.

My hubby can fall asleep instantly. It's annoying because I sometimes have to rewind a show because he missed something! I used to be a horrible napper, until I had LASIK surgery. It's crazy, but when I had to worry about taking off my glasses or taking out my contacts, I couldn't fall asleep as fast (and if I did nod off and then wake up to realize my glasses were on or contacts were in, it took me forever to get to sleep again once I fixed the problem). I don't have as many opportunities to nap as I would like, but I generally fall asleep well for naps.

YES! I tried to do it when my twins were little, but they were 40 minute nappers...I swear there was some secret button that woke them up the second my head hit the couch pillow! Once they went to 2 naps (7ish months?) I started napping. Now, I LOVE my 30 minute power nap. I do it every day, embarrassing but true

I love naps!

Ugh, I wish! The newborn phase was hard bc I couldn't nap! My daughter has been horrible with naps too, and I guess she comes by it honestly!

I only napped in the first trimester because I couldn't function but I hate naps lol

Before, DS - not so much because I felt like I could/should be more productive with my free time instead of napping. Now, I'm hoping DS naps so I can nap with him, if possible.

not at all- I always just lay there thinking about what I could be doing and then I get mad when I wasted all that time just laying there. My DH is a huge napper though. I swear he sleeps more than our toddler

I love the idea of naps, but I suck at them. I need a good 3 hour window if i'm going to get a little nap in because I lay there for so long and can't shut my mind off long enough to go to sleep. Needless to say, I never get to nap

In college, I napped a lot. Since then, not so much. Some afternoons when LO is napping, I'll nap. I have to be super tired enough to do it. My husband can't nap at all.
