Simulating evening during my afternoon naps

Getting an afternoon nap is really a must for me since I usually sleep close to or beyond midnight then gets up early because Ace has to leave for work. I could actually sleep until I want to and Ace could go to work without bothering me but I feel I’d be a bad wife if I wouldn’t help him prepare for work. Hence, I force myself to get up and cut short my sleep hoping I could go back to bed right after he leaves for work but I end up doing chores and the laundry then spend more than a couple of hours working. 

An hour after lunch is my nap schedule. I had to pull down and shut off the window blinds and turn the a/c on for an hour or two of deep slumber. I want the room to be dark during my nap that’s why we got vinyl blinds in mocha that has the color of wood blinds. That’s how important for me to simulate evening during my afternoon naps to “cheat” my body that it is night time. Thus it feels like evening when I sleep and I feel a lot recharged when I wake up. Haven’t done that? Try it yourself and you’ll feel really good.
