Do you take a nap at noon?

xiaoheUID: 162707

Just asked this question in the everlasting Q&A game ealier and got two answers that they do.

You guys must know that the westerner don't regularlly take a nap at noon, and their working and studying hours are usually 9 to 5, with at most one hour lunch break.

So, if you hope to go abroad some day, you'd got to get rid of this habit. What do you think?

If you have the habit to take a noon nap, how do you think you can adjust yourself to the western living style?

Fortunately, I don't usually take a nap after lunch.

It's all because I get up at 10 o'clock these days. :D:D

I get rid of this bad habit in my freshman year.

Since I have not the plan of going abroad,I don't have to get rid of the habbit.But no matter in  the western or the eastern countries,I think most of people who work from 9 to 5 don't have the condition to have this habbit.

Rarely. But sometimes I really feel tired after several hours' chores.

Actually in the west, taking a nap is quite common, especially for those political leaders. For example, Lincoln and Chirchill are both 'nap-fans'. It is said the nap is indeed an effective way to recover your energy for the work afterwards.

exactly.

it's said that they always go to bed around 3, and get up at 7; take an important recovering nap during day time is very useful.

Comes to me, I never take a nap. Since I begun to paly the piano when I was 5, I had to practice in the noon time

I did not use to take a siesta untill I found that it was necessary for me to keep clear-headed  rest of the day.

gdhdannyUID: 125843

The kids in America are encouraged to abandon noon naps from about 3 years old. On the other hand, many adults here may take nap in the afternoon if they can afford the time.

I remember that we I were young, my parents would force me to lie on bed for a certain period of time even when I claimed that I didn't feel like doing it at all. And now it is so painful for me to stay awake at noon.

And many Americans think that taking a nap at noon is really good to one's health.

A little ironic, isn't it?
