I do not like taking naps. I generally wake up confused, frightened, disoriented. I recall doing so when I was in junior high, and it took me the rest of the evening to get oriented. I have had a couple of similar experiences through the years. So, I do not take naps.
Something has happened, though, the last few weeks. Not so much during the work day, but sometimes in the early evening, and more frequently on a Saturday or Sunday, or when I have a day off, in the afternoon. If I sit back and relax, get comfortable, especially when I am reading, but maybe when I am knitting, I want to close my eyes and doze off. And sometimes, I do. Not for long. But this is something I have never experienced before.
I have been thinking about it. I was wondering if it could be attributed to a medication I am taking. That is possible. But I have been on most of the medications I take for more than a couple of years now. Except the Amlodipine, which was added a couple of months ago. Tiredness is a side effect of Amlodipine, but I take it at night, so I would think the tiredness would not still be affecting me the next afternoon, when these naps often occur. I wonder if it is an aging thing. Hmmm.
Weird.
