I regularly have a sleep in the afternoon. On waking i feel dreadful, drowsy, disorientated and struggle to get started. Does anyone else experience this? I have always slept a lot, and having a sleep in the day doesnt seem to affect my ability to sleep at night time.
Yes I also have this problem. If I don't have a nap in the afternoon I end up going to bed around 7pm because I'm so exhausted. Which then shifts my waking time forward to 3am. It's a bad cycle, and the nap helps to keep it at bay by allowing me to stay up until 9 or sometimes even later in summer. But it does take a long time to get going again afterwards. It helps a little to bring a drink and snack into the bedroom with me and have that on waking.
1960's Goblin "Teasmade" for the win?
(Not in my case, sadly, it took too much "regulairity" to remember to set it up every night. And when I did want to use it, the square (?) teapot was really difficult to get all the mould out of...)
