While I've never had the honor of getting the < > treatment, I did get the mods out in full force recently when I red dotted the hell out of one of my posts on purpose! ••••

It was my buddy Ian that got me modded. And I am sticking to that story, because I would never say anything that would get a mod's dander up.

This question is kinda weird,but it's been such a problem for me lately. Does anyone else get the afternoon sleepies? I've had this most of my life,but lately it's been worse than usual. Around 2 to 3 in the afternoon,I get so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open! Sometimes I can take a nap,but mostly not. I always snap out of it around 4 and the rest of the day is fine,but those couple of hours are just awful.I read a long time ago about biorythmns,and I guess that's why.I guess my question is does anyone else ever have problems with this? And what do you do to wake up and snap out of it?

Hippyt, all I can tell you is this. My husband and his family all take naps in the afternoon. Thankfully, I only have my husband around me that I have to deal with. BUt I swear that he needs his nap. If he goes a day or two without it, he gets very, very irritable to the point I can't stand him anymore.

There are many times when he is annoying me and I tell him that he needs to go take a nap and I make him. This is the only thing that he will listen to me without arguing. He will go take one and wake up in a much better mood.

When I am at work, I will not call the house between 2 and 5, in case he decided to take one.

Now on the other hand, he is always trying to get me to take one, but I cannot do it. It sets my nerves on edge laying down and trying to take one. A nap really messes up my internal clock and makes me extremely miserably.

The very few rare times I do take one, my husband is extremely shocked (but happy) and he knows that I am really, really , really sick. Because I do not do naps.

So, I guess what I am saying is that you have here 2 extremes to the nap issue and neither side is wrong. I say go listen to your body and do what it says it needs and don't feel guilty about it. Your body knows best. My body resists them, but my husband's body depends on them. And this is one of the few things that we can agree to disagree on.

Hippy, I definitely have a 3 pm slump in energy. I tend to wake up early early..like 4:30 or 5 and then go all day..I eat breakfast but almost never stop for lunch, and at 3 I think my blood sugar drops or something. I usually have a coffee or drink and need a short break.

If I am home, on the weekends, my greatest luxury is a nap at about 3 pm. Love it.

Hippyt, I've gotten so sleepy around 2-3pm that I have actually fallen asleep at my desk. I usually just get up and walk around and maybe get a breath of fresh air - sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. My father was the same way and fortunately for him he was self-employed and was able to take a nap after lunch everyday.

This may or may not apply to anyone here, but you never know. My brother, 2 neighbors and a couple girlfriend's husbands were recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, and a classic symptom is an afternoon nap. It's actually pretty dangerous if gone untreated. While I don't know much about it, some other things are snoring, depression, and high blood pressure. Often, it's brought to one's attention when a family member comments on how you breathe (or not breathe, specifically) while you sleep. Following treatment, my brother and one of my neighbors have both cut their medications by half or gone off completely, dropped 20-45 pounds and are much more pleasent to be around.

Of course, there are many reasons we need/want a nap, but I wanted to add this possiblity too.
