Is it rude to take a nap on a futon in Japan?

Is it rude to take a nap when using a futon?

Hi, I’m currently a college student studying abroad in Japan. I’m staying at a homestay in which I’ve been provided a futon to sleep on.

I’ve been given a list of house rules by my host family, and one is that I am meant to lay out the futon each night and fold it up each morning. To my understanding, this is pretty standard futon procedure.

My question is- would it be rude to unfold it for a bit during the day to take a nap? I’m a pretty big napper, and I’ll take a nap for about an hour every day when I have the time to do so. But I’m worried about this coming across as rude, disrespectful of Japanese custom/ the rules of the house, etc.

Thank you for anyone who may have input!
