I genuinely cannot stop napping. please help.
I seriously feel like napping has been ruining my life, but I genuinely don’t know how to stop. This has been an on and off issue for almost two years now. I am a student and I typically get enough sleep (7-8) hours, and especially more now since I’m on summer break. However I don’t think the amount of sleep I’m getting is the issue.
Here is my daily routine these past few weeks:
Wake up at 10AM, scroll on phone until 11AM, get out of bed. Make brunch, eat brunch. Feel sleepy after eating, take nap at 2PM. Nap until 4-5PM, half of the day is gone. Feel guilty about napping. Be productive for a few hours. Do something for entertainment until 12AM. Get into bed and sleep at 1-2AM.
I waste so much time by napping 2-3 hours in the middle of the day. I think it’s also been leading to weight gain since I nap after eating. It also messes with my sleep schedule if I start the nap at 4-5PM and wake up at 7-8PM.
I feel like it may also be a form of procrastination for me. When I have a lot on my plate J always tell myself the excuse “i’ll do it after a quick power nap” and then end up napping for three hours. Even though I get stuff done, I wish I could do it all before 5PM.
I know this is so unhealthy but I physically don’t know how to stop. If i start feeling tired it’s like I’m magnetized to my bed.
