To nap or not to nap?

And me. It doesn't seem to make any difference to my sleep at night if I have a nap or not. Sometimes I sleep and sometimes I don't.

Me too Lilygran, as soon as I sit down....I'm gone!

We are all different, aren't we? Personally, I try not to nap during the day and to go to bed quite late, as I sleep better then. My dad was as fit as a fiddle until about 94 (died aged 96) and he always had a good nap in the afternoon- and he said it really helped him.

I keep reading articles in the media about the dangers of having a nap during the day and then articles about how good it is for you and how bad sleep deprivation is. If I'm at home in the afternoon and sitting down, whatever I'm doing, I end up asleep. Should I worry? Is it normal?
