I hope the extra sleep helped you to recover. A few days ago I took an extra long afternoon nap... was out cold for about 2.5 hours, when I woke up I felt much better.... like I finally fought off the bug I was battling...
Well, actually, with me, there is no “extra sleep.” I go to bed about the same time every day, and if I go 30 minutes early, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll go to sleep 30 minutes earlier.
I did manage to get 10.5 hours of sleep last night but it’s still not enough to ever make me feel rested, even when I’m feeling “good.”
Naps are good. I don’t take them as a rule, though my mother did, every day that I remember her being alive. Some people are just “Nap People.”
