Afternoon naps – is it a bloke thing?
Discussion
The bloke likes a nap/snooze at the weekend, usually before dinner.
He’s in a labour intensive job Mon-Fri and gets enough sleep during the week.
What surprises me is that he is able to get into a deep sleep on his days off if we’re home,
but has enough energy if we are out and about so obviously doesn’t “need” a nap.
So is this a guy thing?
Or could it even be an age thing?

Power naps.
My missus laughs at me because I can fall asleep in a chair anywhere (pub, airport, party) if I have as little as 10 minutes spare. It does me a power of good!
Equally, I can manage perfectly well on four hours' sleep a night.
ETA: I'm 40, and been doing it for years, so you'll have to judge whether or not it's an age thing.

I hate having a nap...
simply because it dates back to when I was a kid, I used to fall asleep by the gas fire... I'd wake up and be sick - everytime.
My parents soon found out the gas fire had a defect and I was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning every saturday afternoon. So if you ever wondered why I am defective, thats probably why!!
Now I just associate falling asleep in the day with nearly being gassed.

Its a primeval thing... Man gets a nap when it appears it is safe and available to do so.He’s in a labour intensive job Mon-Fri and gets enough sleep during the week.
