Is it normal to want to nap in the afternoon?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, wanting an afternoon nap is normal. Many people feel a natural dip in alertness during the day, especially after a short night or a big meal.

Yep—lots of people get sleepy in the afternoon. Your body’s alertness naturally dips for a while, and too little sleep, a heavy lunch, or a long day can make that slump more noticeable.

If you want to nap, a short one can help you feel refreshed; a long or late nap may make it harder to sleep at night. If you’re sleepy all day despite getting enough rest, that’s a different pattern and worth paying attention to.
