Ksmiles, I have found myself sleeping more and more - but sometimes it comes to me via naps. This then disrupts my main sleep. Does this happen to anyone?

Yes, many of us do get tired and want to take a nap during the day. There are different views. Some say, go ahead , you’re tired, just take a nap if you need it . This does work for some. However, it does interrupt solid night time sleep.
I went to a sleep doctor in the past who recommended that I push through naps so I can get a more restful sleep 💤 throughout the night.
We all must decide what is best for us. Sleep is as important as medicine.:)
