I'm not a fan of taking naps because I'm never sure that I'll be able to get up after 20 minutes. Every now and then, my 20 minute nap turns into a four hour snooze. And then I can't sleep at night, and I've lost a night's good sleep. So generally I avoid naps.
I have thought of a way of having naps and ensuring you get up out of bed: nap with a full bladder. It won't be the most comfortable nap, but you'll definitely get up. Nothing like the call of nature to rouse you from your sleep.

why not set your alarm? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like setting an alarm, because I don't fall asleep as fast during the day and I feel anxious about getting a long enough nap before the alarm goes off. Set it for 30 min and spend 25 min anxiously trying to fall asleep. I just don't nap much.
ReplyDeleteElsie, don't you just have dreams about trying to find a bathroom when you sleep with a full bladder?
I don't like setting an alarm because I can sleep through them! Not my morning alarm though - I seem to be able to wake up for that (before it usually).
ReplyDeleteI've stopped having those toilet dreams funnily enough. I just wake up when nature calls :P
