I remember it being a bonding experience and I loved getting to sleep in the "big bed" in my parent's room. I have a six week old, so I am basically only getting to sleep in naps right now...even at night! :) My mom always took a nap with me when I was little.

Even 20 minutes is enough to recharge the batteries. This probably stems from pulling all-nighters when I was in college, and getting only an hour's worth of sleep.

I love to nap. I believe it is the best part of my week. It makes the day feel decadent and refreshes my overloaded mind. Every Saturday at 2:00. I love to nap.

I could use a nap today, or just fifteen minutes to rest my eyes. We should convince the government to encourage nap-time like in preschool. Wishful, thinking....

I usually don't have time for naps. But, I also seem to have a hard time falling asleep at night if I take a nap, even earlier in the day. If I'm really tired I just try to go to bed early that night unless I just can't keep my eyes open. I don’t nap very often. I usually don’t have time for naps.

I used to think I "had" to get all sorts of things done while they were sleeping, but sometimes napping is a better use of my time. I wake up more refreshed and with more energy to play with the kids and to get my "stuff" done. I often try to take a nap when my kids do.

Yesterday, I was at my parents' house and my mom was outside playing with my daughter. My son was napping. I went in and laid down with him and the next thing I knew, I was waking up an hour later. I haven't napped in so long and it felt so good. I was going to blog about what a simple pleasure it is. Sometimes, instead of scurrying around "doing" things while I have free time, just giving in and resting is more beneficial. This is so funny.
