I've been awake for 22 hours so far (16 hour car drive, got home at 3 AM) so I'm probably gonna crash flat on my keyboard take a nice, relaxing nap soon.
 
I am a designer and am always working on something. I also have two kids and a dog -- so when the kids go down for a nap on the weekends, I make sure I sleep too. Otherwise I'd get no sleep!

With the newborn, I find it essential to nap when I can. I don't think I could function without sleep.
 
I wish I could, but I can't sleep when it's light outside. Good thing I don't have a nighttime job or I'd be all kind of screwed. I also can't sleep on the floor or the car or hunched over in a chair or really anywhere else except in a bed and sometimes on a couch, but it depends on the couch...
 
Wear a dark hat, and cover your eyes. That's what I do, and I could sleep under an afternoon sun. Just can't use the hat when it's warmer. (but for winter - is perfect)
 
I very rarely nap, which is too bad because I could generally use them. Sometimes on the weekends, if I'm the one to get up early with the kids, I'll go back to sleep for an hour or so after my wife gets up. But that's about it.
 
While I love naps - I can't take them if I intend to stay productive. On the weekend with nothing to do (or nothing I want to be doing) - I can doze off, and it's great.

But I'm ALWAYS super groggy afterwards - and often, my naps will turn into early bedtime.

Then I wake up at 2am, and fidget around, you know - to completely disrupt my circadian cycle.

-sigh-
 
Weekdays:

Up at 5:30 - 6:00 a.m.
Work at 7:00a.m. - 4:00p.m.
Home at 5:00p.m
Bed at 2:00a.m. anywhere from 4:00a.m.

I'm lucky if I get fours hours, and sometimes I really need to take a nap after work.

I don't sleep heavy.

If I'm sharing a bed, all you have to do is move and I'm awake, lightly say my name outside my door and I'm awake.

I'm lucky to sleep until 9.a.m on the weekends.

I wen't through alot growing up, I'm ready for something to happen at a moments notice.
