Is it normal to want to nap every day?

Depends.It depends

Wanting a daily nap is common and isn’t automatically a problem. It can depend on how much sleep you get at night and whether the naps interfere with your day or nighttime sleep.

Lots of people enjoy a daily nap, especially after a short night, during a natural afternoon slump, or as part of their routine. If you wake up refreshed and still sleep well at night, it’s usually just a preference—not a sign that anything is wrong.

If you feel like you can’t stay awake despite getting enough sleep, or the sleepiness is new and getting in the way of daily life, it’s worth checking in with a healthcare professional.
