When the kids were little naps were part of their life and ours. Our day was scheduled around the kids need for naps. When they all outgrew their need for naps we had so much more flexibility in our schedules. Now I have reverted to childish ways, I need a nap everyday in order to function well. I don’t always get one but when I do there is a noticeable increase in energy, creativity, and positive attitude. Part of the problem is with my Parkinson’s disease I can’t sleep more than 5 hours without getting super stiff and immobile, so I get up after 5 hours and then take 1 hour nap later in the day. Works pretty good, and I feel soooooo good after my nap. I usually take my nap in my recliner next to the wood stove after I have done some reading in my Bible. Wasn’t that long ago that if I took a nap I would feel like a lazy sluggard, now I feel like a blessed man! Interesting how things change as life progresses. I can’t wait until I get to heaven.
