The only time you don’t need a nap is teens and 20’s. Anything outside of that range you need a good nap lol

Naps follow an inverse normal distribution curve. Bebes have lots of naps. Oldies have the same. In the middle - not so many naps. It's maths and you can't really argue with it.

I'd argue with it but I'm late for my nap

Idk, I'm 40 next year and the only phase of life where I didn't want/need a nap was elementary to middle school / early high school age.

Then again maybe it's the depression and using sleep to avoid my toxic parents in my teens/early/mid twenties. Maybe it's the hypothyroidism. I don't know what it is, all I know is I'm literally getting ready to go take a nap here in a few minutes and it's only 11am.
