12 Things Only Sleep Lovers Will Understand
Cooler Lifestyle

Ah, sleep. No matter what time of the day it is or who you are, one must admit that catching some z's is essential to a happy and healthy lifestyle. However, there are some of us who maybe love sleep a little too much, and there are some things that only us sleep lovers will understand:


1. A nap (or maybe two or three naps) a day sounds absolutely divine. Whoever said you shouldn't make napping a daily part of your schedule obviously never respected the power of a cat nap! Besides, you'll only be sleeping for 20 minutes ... which somehow turn into two hours.

2. You don't know what sounds more enticing, sleep or food. This is a legitimate struggle because the noodles from last night are pretty tempting, but, you'll probably be too lazy to get the food out in the kitchen anyways. And besides your bed is so comfortable, and getting up requires time and energy, and it's not too late yet ... right? So you guess sleep wins.

3. For some reason, you seem to be less tired when you're messing around but get more tired when you have work to do. Is this some type of game? And also, what are exams again?

4. When you say you're tired and someone points out that you slept for more than eight hours last night.

5. When you say you're going to pull an all-nighter and start getting sleepy around 12. And then you notice your bed and pillows and how comforting that looks- hmm, maybe the all-nighter can wait until tomorrow. Let's just sleep the day away.

6. When you have a long day and you think about how you can't wait until you get back home just so you can catch up on some z's. (Even though you have a lot more things to take care of too ... oops. Oh well!)

7. A common part of your conversation includes you saying, "I'm so tired" or "I'm going to sleep for days." And you mean it, too.

8. When you're at a sleepover and you're trying to sleep but nobody wants you to sleep. Because of this, you usually have to pretend like you're up even though you're secretly trying to wait until you can knock out and no one can bother you.

9. No matter what amount of alarms you have set and how much motivation you have to get your day started, you are very tempted to sleep straight through them. Sorry day, you just have to wait to get started until I'm fully awake.

10. When the number of times you're yawning is probably equivalent to the number of times you blink. (Okay maybe that's a slight bit of an exaggeration but seriously, whoever said yawning was contagious should have said it didn't stop either).

11. At the end of the day you can't wait to change into your pajamas and crash. Ah, the comfort of pjs.


12. You know that no matter how your day was, or how much work you have, sleeping can always temporarily postpone your issues and commitments. Talk about bae! Thanks sleep.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
