Dinah,
I've been trying (very limited concentration due to meds and a rough therapy session today) to read through the archives and found this:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20020325/msgs/21250.html (sorry if not a live link)Was napping today similar to the above thread? I have used napping in the past as a coping mechanism (among many other cm's that got me this far). I didn't like that I would suddenly get overwhelmed with the 'nap urge' but in my case it wasn't just an urge it was like a bodily command! I'm able to see that it was what I had to do to survive. And that period of time was before (several yrs) and after major depression set in. So I was in therapy and on medications and still had to 'go down for naps' whether or not I wanted to. I finally came to the conclusion that I can only fight my body for so long...sleep has always been an adversary and when it came on so strong I went with it.
I recognize similar urges now to go into a 'forgetful sleep' but have different cm's now that help.Sorry to ramble. Didn't sleep much and therapy spun me today.
