My mom sleeps about 2 hours or more around 3pm and then she excuses herself for this resting period saying that she woke up at 3 or 4am and couldn't go to sleep. I tell her that the reason she can't sleep is because she is sleeping during the day and it is messing up her sleeping schedule. I then showed her this article. She says now that she agrees with the article saying she only "sleeps" 20-40mins but is awake really with her eye closed the majority of the time. Is this 20-40mins of sleeping time including "resting" time?

Wow Florence, a nap! I would love that. It really is hard to fit in everything with three little ones right now. But I have to admit I have been closing my eyes a bit more often in the afternoons lately.
Thanks for helping us all to feel better about snoozing during the day! Check out our site information on napping. Also see out posts on the topic of napping.
All the best, sue
