Naps

[Canadian Lax]

Don't you guys just love taking naps????. I finally got home on time from school today (like no practices or projects to do after or anything) and took a nap. O man was it ever great i felt so refreshed. But what i do hate is when you take a nap and you feel even more tired....like when u sleep in the car on the way to practice or something then feel more tired when u get there...i hate that. Don't you guys wish you had more time for naps?? School should be like kindergarden when you have a time to nap in the middle of the day.....but thats what math class is for ahhaha.

i'm constantly suggesting to teachers that we should have a dessignated nap period, which i used to call first period bio last year. naps are awesome, just took one in the car today. especially when you are on a long road trip and you fall asleep and wake up 3 hours later and its felt like 10 minutes have passed. napping is probably one of the greatest activities known to man, next to lax

All the books for english make me take naps.

after reading half a page of tale of two cities i would crash soo hard, if i couldnt sleep at night i would start reading it and it would put me right to sleep (funny thing is, carson daily's late night show does the same thing"

i try to fit a nap in every period.

[Garor]

I always end up napping when I'm supposed to be reading for English. My personal favorite class to sleep through was Law class. It was so obvious too. Book wide open my head in it, my arms haning off the desk. The teacher put everyone to sleep automatically. It was hypnotizing, and really, really boring.

naps rule i always try and sleep in the car on the way to an away game, just turn on the AC/DC family jewles dvd and im out so fast, feels so good when your not quite waken up and put on your wet sweat gear and ypu get that chill up and down your spine feels so good.

[WestSideLa X eR]

Used to nap every day after I came home from school.

Messed up my sleep cycle so I stopped napping. I just go to be

early, but with all this hw and stuff, its hard...

[moondog]

I learned how to "powernap" in college, since it would be a party in my house all day, and it was next to impossible to get anything done, so I did my homework in the middle of the night.

3 or 4 little "powernaps" and I could easily go all night; no trouble at all...I miss college...

[HRLAXER]

last year i had geometry right after lunch. the room was warm and quiet becuase the teacher was giving a lesson. so i looked to my right and everyone on the right side of the room was sleeping. and then the teacher noticed and said that everyone that decides to sleep in class will one day be pumping his gas. and then just glared at them for like ten minutes. it was scarey/funny.

[laxrat22]

my favorite thing my bio teacher ever told me "mr finch, its kind of hard to take notes on the video when you're sleeping" "ya but its a hell of a lot more fun"

[moondog]

That's funny, HRLAX--sometimes, when people aren't working or exerting themselves in my classes, I'll say, "Fine...Choose to FAIL...Let your opportunities GO, and you can spend the rest of your life wrapping up my 7 LAYER BURRITOS after you mow my lawn!"

And then they whine like little babies...:)))

I agree with that. I have recently been taking naps because the weekends always tire me out. For me to feel refreshed O can only sleep for 15 minutes.

You canadiens have school on sundays?

QFT. Happens to me everytime, for about the first 30 minutes, then that new life kicks in like meth.

sdchool schould start an hour later and stay an hour later. on thursday, we can go ingf at 8:30 instead of 7:30 and the difference is amazing.

[busdriver44]

when i lay down on my bed before a nap, it feels so great. Then im old cold. The worst is waking up and realizing its like 8 30 and i havent started my hw yet, and im more tired trying to get up. Then im wide awake during the night. It'd make sense to just do hw late at night since im wide awake, but in the back of my head im thinking, its 12:30 im going to bed, then i end up just lying there.

[exile lacrosse]

i dont take naps, i take comas.

[Superman]

i cant take naps... my mom yells at me and tells me to go to bed earlier if i nap at my house. in school i sleep constantly though.

[laxbabe42]

yeah, my naps usually last anywhere from 2 - 5 hours. so no matter how tired i am, i make myself get busy so i won't fall asleep or i'll miss out. unless, that night i have no HW or anything to do, i'll fall asleep ont he sofa and never wake up. i sleep like a rock.

why do y'll go into school different times on a certain day? hm. my school starts at 8:05, well thats the late bell for 1st period. but we dont get out till 2:30.

A 20-30 min nap will refresh you, after that you go into a deep sleep and feel unrefreshed unless you take an hour and a half nap or more.

[blckout20]

I just woke up from a nap. I used to nap on the way to every away game until the team realized i was sitting at the front of the bus for a reason and they would screw around with me on the way to games. But yea naps are sweet.

[Frndlefire]

The most effective way to nap is only to sleep for 20 minutes. If you sleep longer than this you need to sleep for a couple hours. Apparently this is because of peoples' sleep cycles and you can interupt it at 20 minutes and be refreshed, or sleep 45, wake up, and still feel really tired.

How do these "powernaps" work?

[HdGLaxWarrior]

What's REM?

Rapid Eye Movement?

[Warrior]

I used to end up coming home and just crashing on the couch for a few hours..but it messed up my sleep pattern..i would end up sleepin from 3-6 or somethin then bein up till like 4 in the morning...so i dont take many naps now a days...

Though now that i think about it...todays a good day for a nap lol...

edit:yea REM is rapid eye movement, its the time where your dreaming in your sleep...like thats when the most brain activity goes on or something like that..and i guess ur paralyzed while ur in the REM stage of sleep...thats kinda funky...

:WTF:
