So for quite a few years now, my body works a certain way whenever I take a nap. I don't know how other people nap, but when I fall asleep at any time other than my normal sleeping-through-the-night time, I always sleep for either 2 or 3 hours. 3 if I'm really, really tired. I've tried shortening my nap times before, so that it wouldn't mess with my sleep schedule much, but if I try to wake up any time before I've slept 2 hours I can't wake myself up enough to get up.
I can hit the snooze button on my alarm, but I for all the world can't wake up enough to get up. I've got to the point where I don't even set an alarm because I know I'll just wake up in 2 hours. I don't take naps every day, just when I'm extra tired, like when I come home from church or on any other day that I have to get up earlier than normal.
What's weird is when I wake up from my naps, I'm always terribly thirsty and I feel a little sick for several hours after. This doesn't happen when I sleep through the night on my regular schedule.
I've always wondered why I have such odd naps, so I wanted to ask you all if you knew anything that might be a reason for this weirdness. Or is this just normal? What are your naps like?
