Napping and Sugar cravings page

[Nix]

Last night I did a night hike pretty late. It was a lot of fun. However, I have the inability to sleep in. I wake up at pretty much the same time every day no matter what time I go to sleep. So, around 4pm I was pretty tired and took a nap. I slept for 2hrs. Probably slept for too long, however, now I have horrible sugar cravings. I am usually not one for napping. I usually go to sleep at around 10pm and wake up almost exactly at 6am every day. Does this happen to anyone else; sugar cravings after napping?

It happens to me too!!! But no idea about why...I hope somebody can give us an answer... I am really thrilled about it :O

I know, I want to know why I want sugar after napping... maybe I will run a search.

I'm always thirsty after naps; I don't normally crave sugar after one.

Wow, never heard of this happening. Usually NOT being able to take a nap is what would get me craving sugar. I associated it with needing energy to stay awake when I really wanted to be sleeping.
