Zzzzzzzz.....



Ahhh, the nap!  Such a beautiful thing!

I'm generally not a napper, but I find that I always need a nap in the Spring and Summer (I guess I'm a seasonal napper).  Of course, with work, that's not possible except on the weekends, and that's not always possible...because, well, I have a life... and I'm not 80.  I would like to incorporate naps more in my life though.  Maybe on Fridays-Sundays I can nap.  I'm not really good at doing the super short, 10-15min naps.  I'm more of a 1-2 hour napper.  Maybe I'm not getting enough.  Scratch that, I'm definitely not getting enough sleep.  I'm not getting a super low amount of sleep either.  I'd say I get 6-8 hours, usually more like 7 hours.  I could be one of those people that needs 8-9 hours of sleep to feel ok.  Anywho, I did some research on the web to see what it has to say about napping, here's what I found:
