Advice for naps in the day for people with Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

Hey,

Hope you are all well.

What advice can peeps give for people with Aspergers who are trying to nap in the day? I can do it when really physically tired, but it's a challenge.

Any suggestions will do
Thanks,

I nap during the day during weekends. Around maybe 2 PM to 5 PM or so, usually.

During the week, I can't nap. I'm working those hours.

I have a nap every day, except Sundays. But in the week I have a nap after work, usually about 3.30pm-5.30pm. The reason why I nap is because I don't really know what else to do at this time of the day. After work I am often tired anyway, and on my days off I am more productive and/or busy during the morning and early afternoon and evening, but between about 3pm-5.30pm I get restless, and the only way to relax during this time is to have a kip.

Naps don't generally affect my night sleep, unless I nap too much during the day and not do much else. People often criticise me for having daytime naps. But it's like a medidation thing to me.

Are you wanting/needing to nap because you know you will have to be up late that night? Would quiet time with a book, jigsaw puzzle or some other activity work as well?
