I am looking for famous women who have admitted that they regularly
nap during the day.

Where else to look for stories about famous people than People Magazine?

I did a search on naps, and found about half a dozen references to
famous women nappers, several of which were pregnancy-related.

Here are some examples:


=====
Sleeping beauty
Television personality Jenny McCarthy on napping
September 30, 1996

...The hyperkinetic 23-year-old manages to nap anywhere on a moment's
notice. I'll lay down on an airport floor ... catching up on her sleep
is such a priority, she has even learned to nap in taxis.



Pop Quiz with Cindy Crawford
4/2/2001

Will the pregnancy affect your work? 

...By May there's only a few things [I'll be able to do], which is
nice because you get tired and want to nap--especially having [son]
Presley around. It's not like the first time, where I just could crawl
into bed all day if I was tired. I have a 1 1/2-year-old who wants my
attention...

=====


Will these sorts of things do the trick?

The anecdotes should NOT be pregnancy related.

Perhaps this will be helpful for you:

It was where Diane and I would take naps, and have snacks in between shooting.

Science Times New Respect for the Nap, a Pause That Refreshes
By JANE E. BRODY

As a short sleeper who is rarely in bed for more than six hours a
night, I'm a strong believer in naps for recharging my batteries.

Even Jane Brody, health columnist for the New York Times, has said
that naps should have "the status of daily exercise."

Dr. Will is slated to appear on Regis & Kathy Lee, Rosie, and Oprah,
then she will take an afternoon nap, appear on Letterman and then take
another nap before attempting the really late shows, such as Late
Night with Conan O'Brien.
