On certain days, when I haven't gotten as much sleep as I'd like, I always wonder which would make me feel more refreshed — a nap or a trip to the gym. Given the fact that I don't really have the option of napping at work, I tend to go to the gym, which perks me up for a bit, but then I'll often feel more tired in an hour or two afterward. If a nap was a true option, which do you think would help you get through your day — a nap or a quick work out?

Nap. No question.

It takes me so long to recover from a nap, it’s not worth it. Gym, but light cardio if I am going back to work – just enough to get the blood flowing.

Nap – much more long term benefit for tiredness. Workout will bring you up for a short while, and then let you down big time if you’re actually needing sleep.

Sadly, I had so much work yesterday that I neither napped nor went to the gym.
