A member asked:

How do i stop taking naps in the afternoon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why do you want to?: We should all take naps in the afternoon. Kindergartners do it. In many spanish countries they have a siesta after lunch!. They understand the value of recharging! if your naps are because you cannot function then see your doctor. Maybe you are too stressed or have a nutrient deficiency that causes you to be so tired..

A member asked:

I sleep all the time. I can always sleep - in the dark and in daylight. I sleep through alarms and smoke detectors. I don't ever feel awake. Naps help and don't stop me from sleeping at night. I fall asleep almost instantly no matter what time it is.
