A dad from Louisiana has found a brilliantly creative way to take a dad nap…buying a snorkel!

According to Skyler Nitschke, her dad “bought a snorkel for the sole purpose of taking naps in the pool.” She took a few photos of her dad, face down in the pool, with a snorkel in his mouth, floating on a pool noodle.

This strange, yet brilliantly inventive, super dangerous move, has got us thinking about the depths to which dad will go… just to reach the promised land of a dad nap! With more dads trying to do more at work and at home, getting those naps in are only natural. Here’s some to ‘inspire’ you 😉

This dad uses a classic line, to buy himself some time for something far more important, a dad nap! He had it down to a tee…until he got caught.

 

‘Become the Sofa’

So good having this guy back. #boothgirls #family #daddysnuggles #dadnap

Kids throughly engrossed in something? Why not be the comfiest dad-seat going and get yourself some cheeky shut eye in the process!

 

‘The ultimate hide n seek’

Andrew Scully created the biggest sleep pile to take his nap. Combining a little hide and seek play, with the winning way of taking a dad nap. Power to you sir.

 

‘Lights out game’

A game of lights out, and setting a challenge for who can stay in this mode for longest will buy dad at least a few minutes to close his eyes.

 

‘Model dad’

If you’re a heavy sleeper, why not be the ultimate decorative model for your child? They’ll only get you later anyway…

 

‘Classic dad nap’

What dad nap list is complete without the classic move of them all – taking a nap when they do. One of the best feelings ever!

How creative have you got to take a dad nap? Let us know in the comments and tag us in your efforts. We would love to re-post them!
