My Gramma (bless her soul), would close her eyes when she would sit to watch TV. He would wait a bit, and say "Gramma...Are you sleeping?" She would open her eyes up immediately and say, " No, I'm just resting my eyes." Yes...she was sleeping. I don't think that she ever wanted to admit that she took short "naps".
The sad thing with that is...sometimes the older ones just didn't want to be left out of things. They want to feel more involved.
I don't like sleep, know its necessary for body and mind, but just think of all the hours I could be wasting awake!
