Are you still able to nap?

I swear, even when I can nap (h is watching LO) I cannot take a damn nap anymore. I picked up whatever illness LO has and I've tried to lay down twice today and haven't been successful. Boo!

When DD was a newborn it was very easy!! I don't think I've taken a nap in a while! Hope you feel better soon!!

NOPE - haven't taken a nap in 3.5 years...and I love my naps and sleep!!!

Nope. I'm either half awake listening for her or thinking of all the things that need to be done.

Ha! Nope. But I've always been a bad napper. I just have to make it a point to go to bed early some nights (like when LO does instead) to catch up on my sleep.

When I get a "break" I've learned to just use that time to shower in peace, read, do my nails or organize without interupption. Works much better than me just laying there thinking about life.

It can be done! Today when LO went to sleep for her afternoon nap, I told DH I wouldn't be able to nap, but would give it a whirl... so tired, still, all the time... I put on the eye cover and fell asleep but woke seemingly 30 min later to LO crying, but before I got up LO settled and then I woke up seemingly 5 min later to her fussing and got up but saw that DH was with her so turned around to go back to sleep ... DH saw me, called out saying it was time for LO to eat... I had slept 2 hrs!!! I still feel like I could sleep and sleep, but I guess it was something.

Anything in particular keeping you up? Noise? Thoughts? Light?

I used to be a great napper. I could fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Since LO was born I have not been able to nap. My husband doesn't believe me. He always tries to help by telling me to go nap and he'll take care of things but I just can't nap. I would rather do something relaxing like paint my nails, read a magazine or watch tv. I think I could "nap" right before LO last feeding cause then I'd just wake up to feed him then I'd go back to sleep but napping in the middle of the day isn't happening.
