poll: sleep/naps

I am Queen of Naps. I challenge anyone to a Nap Contest. I will win. I have napped in cars, planes, bathtubs, canoes, tents, churches, movies. My favourite nap ever: dozing in a canoe as it drifted down the Nahanni River (Northwest Territories). Best general nap place: cottage. I tend to get carsick pretty easily, so in childhood got in the habit of learning how to fall asleep very quickly on long car trips.

At Conchord, someone told me that if you can fall asleep within ten minutes of your head hitting the pillow at night, you're sleep-deprived (it generally takes people longer to fall asleep). If that's the case, then I've been sleep deprived all my life.

I generally don't nap during the day unless I'm on holiday, mainly because I don't want to get into that habit. Since coming home from Conchord, however, my cold has knocked me into perpetual nap-mode. I think I've spent more time asleep than awake lately.

Hm...speaking of naps, I think I may take another one after posting this Blathering...

Poll: What are your sleep/nap habits?

When you have the opportunity, can you nap? How fast do you fall asleep? Are you a light or heavy sleeper? Do you have any sleep rituals? (i.e. a special pillow, have to read first, etc.) How long do you sleep every night, on average? How much sleep do you need every night to feel like a human being in the morning?
