Did you know Terry Crews has five kids? I did not know that. I keep thinking he has twin little girls. He does have five(!) kids with his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, daughters Naomi, 30, Azriel, 29, Tera, 20, and Wynfrey, 15, and son Isaiah, 12. (Note those ages are approximate as I could only find their birth years.) So at least two of his kids are still at home, maybe more, and he’s a busy guy who travels a lot. In a new interview with US Magazine he talked about his massive skill as a napper. He said he has the eyemask and noise canceling headphones and can sleep wherever he is. I’m jealous. I think they asked him how he does it all and that’s how he started talking about the value of naps.
How does he do it? Terry Crews has five children, not to mention a successful acting career, so how does stay so energetic?
“You know what the key is? A midday nap,” [Crews] told Us Weekly exclusively at the red carpet for NBC Entertainment’s 2019/20 New Season. “I have a whole technique.”
“I have the eye patches, the noise-canceling headphones. I can take a nap anywhere, I am a nap pro. I’ll take it in a car, in the lobby, in the airport.”
I’m a midday napper too! I had a very nice one yesterday. I try to nap every day, even on weekends if I can swing it, for about a half an hour around 1 or 2 in my bed. I will try to sleep in my car at rest stops, in airports and even at friends’ houses. (Only people I’m close to.) I also keep an eye mask in my purse and I always have earplugs, but it’s not that easy to fall asleep away from home. My favorite nap story is from last summer when I started getting tired at a family reunion at a state park. I told my cousin, she said “we got you,” and gave me a reclining lawn chair! I took a 15 minute nap under a tree. (I swear I told that story here already so forgive me for repeating myself. I love that story.) My boyfriend and mom can also tell when I’m getting tired and will tell me to go take a nap. I don’t know what that says about me.
Terry and his daughter Azriel!
NO wonder he gets tired.

That too is my super power: the ability to nap anywhere! My husband is quite jealous of me.
So am I! I can’t sleep at night, can’t nap during the day. I think I’m a vampire.
I envy you! I wish I could do that.
This too is also my super power.
I can’t sleep through the night, but I take a nap during the day to make up for it. But I have to set the mood. It has to be dark, cool and the fan has to be on.
Me too. I need the nap as night sleeps are so difficult 🤷🏽♀️
I wish I could nap on a plane. That would be ideal, but it never happens!
The season finale of B99 was so good last night.
Wishing Terry was part of my family, I adore him so much. I LOVE naps and can nap just about anyplace. I don’t need earplugs and masks to do it.
He is just such a delightful person. I cannot believe he has a daughter that’s my age! My brain can’t wrap around it…
As a fellow big guy myself, you actually do learn how to nap anywhere and any…how, because you’ll be hard-pressed to find somewhere comfy outside your own bed. My greatest achievement: taking a long nap in a semi-fetal position on my Uni’s library’s tiny, tiny couches, and sleeping standing up on the subway.
I love to nap! there’s an art to it. I have to either nap for about 20-30 minutes or for about an hour and a half. Naps that are around 45 minutes to an hour mess with me too much.
The problem is that my body is so accustomed to a nap that I start to get really dopey every day in the early afternoon and I have to nap, and my schedule cant always accommodate that. Boo.
I cosign the 30-1.30 min nap. The in between just messes me up big time. I need a short or somewhat long nap or not at all. I too can nap everywhere if it’s after 15.00 but dark and cool it’s ideal.
I love naps and usually take them on the weekends. I can’t sleep in public, I feel too vulnerable. I’m afraid I’ll snort out loud, or drool all over myself. I don’t generally snort or drool in my sleep, so I’m not sure why I have this phobia.
