12 Truths For People Who Love To Nap

After kindergarten, they took it away, but once we got to college, that ever wonderful, ever desired gift from the gods of hibernation returned into our coffee-soaked lives. Yes, I'm talking about naps. Some days they're a luxury, while others they're an absolute necessity, but either way, they're never taken for granted. Whether it be a rainy, midday Monday snooze or a power nap before Friday's end-of-week festivities, they can be a real lifesaver. If you love to nap as much as I do, these things are sure to ring true for you:

1. Days without naps seem to have somehow gained additional hours.

If you don't get your regularly scheduled nap, you realize how awfully long a day actually is. You need an hour or two of shut eye to break up the madness.

2. It is never too early or too late for a nap.

Woke up at 8 a.m. and need a nap at 10 a.m.? You rock that nap. Need a 30 minute power nap at 11 p.m. to make it through the all-nighter you're about to pull? You do you.

3. If I don't answer my phone, I'm probably napping.

You know I'm always quick to reply to a text, and I do my best to answer when then phone rings. If I'm MIA, though, it's safe to assume I am engaging in a temporary slumber, and I'll get back with you as soon as I'm up again.

4. Naps increase productivity.

It's amazing what you can actually get done after a much needed nap. Rejuvenating.

5. You can nap anywhere.

Literally. Anywhere. Finding a bed or couch is ideal, but I'll take a floor, a chair and, when truly desperate, a table or any semi-flat surface. Desperate times call for naps, right?

6. I bestow pity on those who will go on to wake me from a nap.

There will be wrath. As soon as I re-enter real life, I will feel terrible and shower you with love and apologies. When it comes to waking me up, I suggest just waiting it out for fear of death.

7. Sometimes naps will last through plans.

Again, when I'm fully awake and aware, I will feel like the worst of all people, but sometimes a nap hits you like a ton of bricks, and there's nothing you can do about it.

8. I didn't nap through our plans because I hate you.

I was actually probably napping in the first place to save you from pain, agony and grumpiness. It was an accident, I swear.

9. If I don't get my nap, we'll all regret it.

If I don't get my sleep, you're about to see tears. And anger. And tearful anger.

10. I'm down for a group nap.

Friends wanna hang and you just wanna nap? Compromise is key! Round up all the pals, build a pillow fort and initiate group cuddle. You'll all feel better after a nap, then you can continue on your adventures.

11. You can solve any problem with a nap.

Sad? Nap. Homework? Nap. Hungry? Nap. It is the solution to all, just don't procrastinate too much. You can only nap your way out of trouble for so long.

12. You'll never have a schedule like this again, so you know you've gotta get all the naps while you can.

College class schedules were almost made to fit around naps, and some people do it that way! Enjoy it while you can, because you won't be napping in the middle of your 9-to-5 one day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
