Cool.
I don't nap at all. Just seems weird.

How exactly are napping contests decided?

I have a tough time with napping. On one hand, I've been an insomniac for years, so napping is frequently the only way I can get through a day. But I bet at least twice a week, I'll take a nap that makes it harder for me to sleep at night, which just perpetuates the process.

I've never been able to sleep during the day. Which is a pity, because eventually I get too tired to function at night, which is my favorite time to be active.
Also, I don't think Hitler did take naps. Nothing I've read about him (a considerable amount) suggests he did.
Could be that most considered it an unimportant detail and simply left it out, though. Now I want to figure this out.

I love naps and take them as often as seems reasonable. If I have to get up before 9 am on any given day, I must have a nap that afternoon. Naps definitely make me more alert for the rest of the day and make it easier to fall asleep at night/stay asleep. It's a wonderful thing.

Naps are beautiful and so are anyone who takes them. I always feel so energized after a nap, especially ones with a lot of dreaming.

Only time I fall asleep during the day is when I didn't sleep much the night before. Really the only times I've taken a nap I've never been able to get to sleep or stay asleep that night.

Sorry, but we live in America. Any more than 6 hours of sleep and you are a lazy goddamned asshole who's probably on welfare.

It was very well documented that Hitler was napping when the Invasion of Normandy started and the German command couldn't move tanks without his personal orders. Hitler's aide refused to wake him.

Shit, I don't think I've gotten that far in the book I'm reading right now... that's kind of interesting.

Maybe if Hitler wasn't taking a nap on D-Day we would all be praising our Führer right now. Also, toothbrush moustaches would still be in style.

Yeah. Sucks that he kind of ruined that for everyone. He must have been kicking himself in the nuts (or his aide) after D-Day.

Reagan was a big advocate of napping too, and was occasionally criticized for it. President is not a 9 to 5 job, and since Reagan was frequently awake and working for large periods of time, he would often take naps in the Oval Office. Of course, his opponents tried to use this to paint him as a sleepy old man.

I know it makes sense and he only did it when he was otherwise unoccupied, but now all I can imagine is Reagan nodding off in the middle of you meeting with him, just slowly trailing off in his speech...

Opponents are shitty like that. Always.

Hitler wasn't napping during the begining of D-Day, he was still asleep from the night before. The invasion started around midnight with paradrops and the landings were at 6:30am.
No one wanted to wake him because Hitler was notoriously sleep deprived and hardly ever slept so no one wanted to risk waking him up for what might have been another false start or bad intelligence, as there had been a few before June 6th.

I hate working nights, because Americans are typically assholes about sleep. When I get home at around 1 a.m., I'm still usually a little wired, and I don't want to run straight to bed so I can get up at 8 or 9 in the morning, about 8 before my shift starts.

I've been doing it more often during the past two years or so. Part of the problem is you just start nodding off and get drowsy.
The worst is when it happens while I'm playing a video game. Which has happened on multiple occasions. That's when I know I need a midday recharge.
