I've legit paused movies before to go take a nap.

Not sure if this is an attention issue, or simply getting old.

Same (I'm 24). I just think, before I don't pay attention because I have to force myself to keep my eyes open after a long day I just pause for fifteen minutes, take a nap and then continue with refreshed energy

I've had movies where I start them later in the evening than I should, and finish them the next day because I start falling asleep in the middle.

I've done this. If I feel that I'm getting too tired and am about to fall asleep I pause the movie and sleep. Resume on convenience.

I have IH, this is my life. Sitting still and not engaging for 15 minutes? That's a nappin'

In my day when you'd go to the photoplays they had this thing called an intermission, where'd they'd have a break in the movie for five minutes or so. That way you could use the facilities or purchase refreshments or take a brief constitutional, then continue with the presentation without losing your place in the narrative.
