I dont mean babies, I mean adults....ok I mean me!
No matter what whenever I wake up from a nap I feel like I could snap at the drop of a hat. Yet when I wake up in the morning I am fine. Anyone know why this is?

I would assume it has to do with the levels of serotonin or some chemical in the brain causing a kind of dysphoria. Napping doesn't put the brain in the deep sleep mode that regular sleep does.
That's a good question...star-worthy! :-)

I'm not usually grouchy after a nap. I really don't nap much because if I sleep too long I'll wake up with a giant headache. I might feel a little 'blah' right after I wake up, maybe a little disoriented, but otherwise pleasant and not wanting to bite someone's head off or anything :)

When you sleep at night your body has time to go though all the stages of sleep, i.e. stage 1,2, Delta, R.E.M. (Rapid-Eye Movement, a.k.a. dream sleep). This allows your body and mind proper rest. When you take a nap, your body sometimes does not allow for your mind to rest, meaning you do not go into Delta sleep. That is why you could be waking up grouchy. If you can allow more time to nap at least 30-45 min. it might help. However, be careful not to get too long of a nap, this could cause you not to be able to sleep at night.

Maybe it's because you just wanna get some more sleep...before you get up from your nap..think about something thats enjoyable..maybe that will help.

You could be getting too much sleep, but I wouldn't worry too much because a lot of people have that problem. I know I do.
