Pre/post-training naps: yay or nay?
Just curious - when training other than first thing in the morning - do you guys have a pre-training nap? or a post training nap? or both? or neither?
I find a half hour nap before and after training is great.____________________________________________

After training is great. Before and I'm not making it to training that day.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I get like that when I nap for over, say, half an hour...I find 10-30 mins is fine any longer and it just drains me - but without the nap after training I'm also completely drained.

A nice nap after you train is great. A good way to jumpstart recovery as long as you eat something before you pass out.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I gave up training all together for naps. It has done wonders for my physique.

What's the point in napping if you aren't gonna get any REM sleep? You will hardly get any rest.
