Dear Can't Explain,

Growing up I always took afternoon naps but I think it was more of mother needing a break.
Until I became school aged. But also on Sundays from an adopted Italian family after a large meal everybody took a Siesta.
Ciesta /Siesta means "midday rest".

All over the world especially in warm/hot climates this is the norm.

As long as you are not caring for children, I say enjoy it!
It has been written in medical journals Cardiologist say patients have benefited from naps.

Certain medications for anxiety can make you drowsy and tired. If you need a nap take it
and you can set your alarm clock so you don't sleep too long.

And do not feel shameful about taking a nap. That will defeat the purpose.
A hour or so is good, more than 1 1/2 talk to the doctor.

For senior people they may need a little longer because many have trouble staying asleep through the night.

Everybody is different, some people are night owls, some people need more/less sleep.
Healthy sleep is when our bodies awaken and feel refreshed.
