In reply to erin. I hear you! My boys no longer take naps but now I find myself making them have quiet time just so I can get a quick rest in. It doesn't always work, but I definitely try!

I nap almost everyday!! As soon as my boys go down for nap(thankfully my 2 and 1 year old nap together!!)! My body is just too tired to do anything. With or without a full night sleep. They are just so busy during the day!!

I don’t nap often, but some days I put my four year old in bed with me and ask her to please just sit there, don’t move, and just watch her kindle while mommy closes her eyes. She does it, laying there watching MLP (thank you, Netflix!) and for the next hour I gain back some energy and sanity.

In reply to eschelle. Haha! It doesn't matter how old they get, they are still exhausting. :) And, yes, I am a much better mom when I am not tired.

I have to admit that I nap more than I should and only have two boys above the age of 3. I couldn’t imagine double them LOL you deserve a million times more naps than I!!

sleep moms, you need it, and your kids need you to have sleep too!! lol

In reply to Allison B. Yeah, that is a tough one. I am typically up until around 1am every night anyway so a quick nap often is a must.

In reply to Susen @ Dabbling Momma. I think we all just need to realize that even superman needs a break every once in awhile. :) With all of the responsibilities that moms have, of course we are exhausted. Thanks for stopping by!

I did when my kids were young but these days I rarely nap. Not because I’m not tired, if I nap it’s almost impossible for me to sleep at night. I’m awake until 1 or 2 in the morning and then I’m even more exhausted the next day.
