Naptime.

So today I could barely hold my eyes open around 11am. I was dragging after doing some things around the house.

The past few days have been worse. I'm getting worse. I seem to be only good/okay an hour or so after I wake up. Today I finally opted to try the nap that I was thinking might help.

I slept for a while and when I awoke, I had to do the process of waking up all over again. Once that was complete, I was doing homework with the kids, made supper, cleaned my daughter's ears, talked to all my children about their day and am about to get ready to head over to practice for the evening with my son.

I feel like I do after I fully wake up in the mornings. I feel more alert, no headache. It should last until about bedtime this evening. I will attempt to try this again tomorrow.

The biggest draw back is I'm not getting as much done as I normally would. I'm behind. Maybe I can up things and go at a faster pace before I lay down? I'm not sure. I'm worried it's going to take too much out of my day. Sleep for an hour, wake up for an hour to two hours. That's nearly three hours of my day gone. Is that worth it? It might be with how bad and useless I become in the evenings. Let's see what happens as I attend practice, come home, finish up any "forgotten" homework, and get everyone into bed. If I don't "loose it", then maybe the three hour sacrifice is worth it.

I hate naps though. They drive me nuts. I feel they are useless.

Maybe, though, in my case, they are vital to a good life?
