The answer

There is no religious impediment to sleeping between Asr and Maghrib; however, it is the worst time to sleep during the day. As for the saying "Aisha Rajul" (man's life/lifestyle) when referring to a woman: if it is intended to describe a specific woman in a way she dislikes, then it is impermissible. This is because it is either backbiting if the description applies to her, or slander if it does not, and both are forbidden. If it is intended to mean that a woman performs the work of men, then it appears there is no harm in it, although it is better to avoid it. The imitation forbidden by Islamic law is in dress, adornment, speech, and gait, not in matters of good.
