Hi ~ Sue, I was never a person that Napped when I was younger,

but if I felt tired or had a bad monthly, I would lay down for a nap, but not often.

Then when my illness hit me years ago,

I have to take a Nap because I will get

"Crashing Fatigue" and nothing keeps me awake

and I will sleep for a little while for a Nap

or it will depend on my degree of the Crashing Fatigue and

I can sleep for 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 hours and

get up to eat a snack or drink some water or go to the bathroom

and have to go back and lay down until my

body feels it's rested enough and then

I can flip it around and I think my Menopause kicks in and

I can stay awake for 24, 28, 36 hours and then

my brain and body says it's time to rest again.

As I'm typing out this comment to you

I have already been up close to 16 hours and

it's almost 4 A.M.

It just is, what it is and nothing much that

I can do about it, with the illness that

takes control of your body and you just

learn over time to embrace your new found limitations and

I'm only 63 years old and had the illness

diagnosed in 2012, but I was sick a lot longer and never knew about it.
