Ok I know this sounds SO weird. I (F/24) have no family drama, still live with my parents (been abroad for a while) and am in a stable relationship so I am not depressed but I hate naps.
It’s not that I feel bad after napping (even though I sometimes do). I like to nap after an all nighter or a flight, but if I go to the beach for example or wake up early I refuse to nap even if I am tired. Even the thought of sitting in bed during the day makes me sad. Why am I like this?

Nap-schnap… And then you realize you napped for 11 hours.
I don’t like naps because no matter how much I sleep I always feel worse afterwards and it messes with my night time sleep.
Some of us just don’t get sleepy during the day.
You do realise your body is half shut down when you nap/sleep and all it takes is a little saliva down your esaphogous to drown and kill you?
Everyone is different. I love napping when I feel like I need or want to; but it’s totally understandable that one might not enjoy that and see it as a “waste of time” (not saying that’s how you feel about it though).
What matters is that you feel comfortable with not having a nap, and not forcing yourself not to nap even if your body is asking for it. But hey, if you don’t feel like napping, that’s totally fine. That’s nice to save some time to do other things too.
If the thought of not enjoying naps does bother you though, you could always see someone to talk about it – maybe there is a deeper meaning to this – but only if this thought does bother you. If you’re happy like that and you’re fine with not napping, then all good! 🙂
