valpal23,
The nap that I had the other day was my first in a LONG time. LOVE them!!
I always have a bottle of water as soon as I wake up. Then I have a peice of fruit. I used to wake up and grab the sweetest thing in the fridge/cupboards to snack on. Fruit helped me quash that.
When I wake up from a nap, I always have cotton head/mouth. You know, that feeling where you're stuffed with cotton... Drinking lots of water and taking a walk for fresh air are the only things that clear that away.
When I'm tired or stressed, food can be a temptation, and I've found just going to bed or having a nap can put me back on track. I'm sure you'll find a way to get around the post nap munchies, and maybe they'll become part of your healthy lifestyle strategies, too
