About 75% of the time I have trouble actually getting up from naps though

Yeah. I just want to take a nap for 20-30 minutes and the next thing I know, an hour has passed.

Not at the top, but pretty close.

I wouldn't know. Naps just turn into bad sleep.

Quote

Black Power Naps is an artistic initiative with components including physical installations, zines, an opera, and more. But it's also a recognition of the hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that Black people and people of color have experienced as a result of systemic racism, a way to pushback against the false stereotype that Black people are lazy, and an investigation of the inequitable distribution of rest. That lack of sleep has serious consequences.

“I'd been looking at statistics around lower life expectancy rates and how marginalized communities are greatly impacted by that phenomenon,” Acosta said. “Where there are heightened level of stress and cortisol, and a lower life expectancy, sleep and rest are part of that.”

Studies have shown that, for a host of reasons, Black people get less sleep, and less deep sleep, than white people. Sleep loss can cause higher levels of cortisol, as Acosta noted, and can lead to many health problems including early death. But there's something deeper going on — Acosta explained that sleep deprivation was used as a means of control over enslaved people, meaning Black people haven't been getting the sleep they need for generations.

Literally can't remember the last time I had a nap that refreshed me and didn't make me feel more like shit than I did before I slept

I spend 8, 9 sometimes 10 hours ~~fast asleep~~ in a coma at night so I don't need naps during the day.

Can’t do naps. But as a man in his 30s, I do love day drinking/partying and going to bed rather early to avoid hangovers!

People in here who can't take a 2pm siesta are really missing out on life.

Me waking up from a dream:
... ...

I don't even have good dreams anymore. After 4 months of no 'rona dreams, now every time I sleep I have at least one dream about masks or keeping distance.

I did have one about a sequel to The Mask that had Jim Carrey back and had a plot about cloning/time travel but somehow was also a Roger Moore era Bond parody and had For Your Eyes Only prominently in the background, as well as Alan Rickman played some famous explorer painting who I can't quite remember (Copernicus maybe? Idk it seemed like a famous painting that already resembled him but you know how dreams go) that was stop motion animated and he tried to eat the buttons off a dress.

Then I woke up with my back aching, my vision blurry, a headache, and felt more tired than I did before the nap.

what if you have sleep apnea?

Stro · « **Reply #23 on:** July 18, 2020, 12:35:52 PM »

I don't think I do, I've just had a lifetime of terrible sleeping. Since I was 4-5ish. I also had about a 8 year stretch of having sleep paralysis literally every time I slept, multiple times a night as I'd have it again every time I woke up, which has always been multiple times a night. If it wasn't that it was severe insomnia. Now my sleep schedule is something like: Take sleeping pills, still lay in bed an hour AFTER they've kicked in, wake up every 40 minutes all night long, get up for good an hour to sometimes 2 hours before my alarm is set, feel like I've been in a car wreck. Somewhere between 3 and 4 I usually wake up sweating no matter how cool it is in my room but then afterwards I'm freezing.
