I come from a long line of nappers, especially on Sundays. The whole house was asleep. Being in food service I work most Sundays now and those naps are history. I look forward to the weekdays off and having a quiet nap while everyone else is at work. I am an owl. I usually go to bed at 4am so my naps are probably later than most. I sleep almost exactly to the minute for 2 hours.
I think you are either a napper or you aren't. Sleep if you feel the need to. Trying to take a nap when you don't really need one if futile.
I can't fight the need for a nap. My husband does. He fights the sleeply feeling because his mother thought only lazy people slept during the day. When he finally gives in he is frustrated and doesn't sleep well. He gets up grumpy and in a bad mood.
Your body knows what you need. Just listen to it.
