Is it bad to take naps during the day (almost everyday)?


Question:


Answers:
The short answer is maybe.

the longer answer could be much more complex. Now while I am no Doctor, I have had some medical training. If you feel fatigued most of the day you could be suffering from a number of ailments. Not the least of which may be anemia. You may want to consider seeing a physician about this.They may run some blood work and do a test or 2 just to make sure nothing is wrong.

However, fatigue could be a number of things that are very minor such as: Poor diet, Vitamin deficiency, side effects of medications, or even just stress.

Best advice, since you are asking and seem concerned is to see a doctor just to talk it over with him or her.

Other Answers:
No. Studies show that naps actually help increase brain activity and awareness, as long as you dont nap for more than 30 minutes.
don't get caught at work.
a 15 minute nap is called a power nap and is as good as a 2 hour nap. Anything more will make you more tired.
If the total time you are sleeping during the day is not excessive (more than 9 or 10 hours?) then don't worry. If you are sleeping more than 10 hours a day, every day, then talk to your doctor.
