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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
