“No one looks back on their life and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep.” I call BS. January 12, 2013, I got 15 hours of sleep, and this is still a date that sticks in my memory. Losing sleep to be cool has become a fad that I think needs to end. “I want a girl who gets up early; I want a girl who stays up late.” Sorry John McCrea, I guess I’m not your girl because I am asleep by 10 p.m. and have no plans of getting up till 11 a.m. (not to mention the nap I plan to take the next day).
Some of us value sleep more than others, and some of us value sleep more than anyone, or anything. Life is hard, and sleep makes it easier to deal with, or a way not to deal with it at all. This one’s for you, sleep lovers. Here are some signs that you love sleep a little too much (or just enough).
Recommended for you
1. You will miss any party for a good nap.
You love going out, but only when you’re well rested with a few cups of coffee in you.
2. You refuse to make plans that will leave you nap-less for the day.
There are certain things you just won’t risk.
3. You will stop replying to a deep texting conversation because it’s running past your bedtime.
Apologies always come the next morning, and you always have a great excuse lined up.
4. You value sleep way more than any social encounter.
People are great and all, but naps are better.
5. Your days revolve around naps.
You don’t squeeze in naps; plans get squeezed in around your naps.
6. People who know you tell you to take a nap when your sass level elevates.
At first you’re offended, but then you catch yourself irrationally ugly crying, so you know they’re right.
7. Your friends know that if you do not reply to a text that you are most likely taking a nap.
And they’re always right. You reply hours later, and by this point they are used to it.
8. You are usually thinking of a nap to get you through class or work.
You daydream about dreaming, and you don’t feel bad about it.
9. You don’t mind getting a cold because it gives you a reason to take NyQuil, which means the best sleep of your life.
NyQuil is always the answer. Always.
10. You will cancel plans because you would prefer to take a nap.
Going out to dinner sounded great at the time, but you’d much rather order takeout and take a nap.
11. You will never love a boy more than you love sleep.
Boys will come and go, but naps are forever.
We should all strive to be like koala bears and get 18 hours of sleep. You will end up with fewer wrinkles, stay in a better mood and be more focused for the few hours you spend awake, so sleep on my friends.
