Is sleeping in the afternoon good during pregnancy?
Im so tired all the time in my first trimester that i end up napping for 2 hours every afternoon. Now my mom is saying too much day sleep isnt good. Is it actually fine or should i cut it down?
Good? It is basically survival at this point haha. I nap like a toddler now in third trimester. Keep it short though or you will be staring at the ceiling at 2am like me.
A short afternoon nap is great, the tiredness is real especially first and last trimester. I kept mine to like 30-45 mins so it didnt mess my night sleep. Listen to your body na.
On work days I couldnt nap but on weekends a power nap saved me. Just dont sleep for hours in the day or you will be up all night. A small rest is honestly needed in pregnancy.
My mother always said rest in the afternoon for an hour, the body is doing so much work. I did a small nap and felt better. Just try sleeping on your side as it gets bigger, doctor told me that is comfier.
