I believe professional napping is a skill. One that flies under the radar a bit much, really. It is a skill that should be more appreciated.
Here are 14 things only people that love a Holy Grail of a nap understand.
1. Everything is solved with a nap.
When you wake the problem will have either worked itself out, or have become an even bigger problem. At least you napped.
2. You have canceled on people because you didn't get your nap in.
Maybe next time.
3. Or better yet, you just miss the plans all together because you didn't wake up.
Sorry about that.
4. When it is 3 o'clock in the afternoon and you haven't taken the first nap yet.
The struggle is real.
5. You have come to realize that a long nap on a Friday is as close to heaven as you will ever get.
You've worked hard. You deserve it.
6. Couches, chairs, floors. All perfect places for the professional napper.
We don't even have to have a bed.
7. After you do anything, you think you deserve a nap.
Cleaned the kitchen? Nap.
8. The thought of a significant other not understanding the need for naps like you, almost scares you.
At least the bed will always be there for you.
9. You get jealous of animals that just get to sleep all day.
Must be nice.
10. When you catch yourself drifting off to sleep and realize this is not the time or place.
I'll be there for you soon nap time.
11. You're not ashamed to tell others napping is your favorite hobby.
You love it, really.
12. They say 27 minute naps are best, but nothing can compare to your 4 hour naps.
Don't let them tell you how to live your life.
13. You never respond back to people. Or when you do respond, it's 5 hours later.
Probably not sorry at all. Napping was more important.
14. Your friends know the deal.
They know not to get in the middle of you and your naps. You'll meet back up with them soon enough.
And as for me right now..
