15 Things Only People Who Love Sleep Will Understand

Sleep is a beautiful thing. You don't have to deal with people or stress; you can just fall into a healthy unconsciousness that lets you escape the world. To you, there's no such thing as bad sleep. All sleep is good sleep. You pride yourself on that time you slept for fourteen hours and the fact that you've never once been able to pull off an all-nighter. Your family and friends know not to get between you and your sleep, even if they don't understand your love for it. Some people may judge or call you a hermit, but you know that sleep is by far one of the best things about this world, and you will take advantage of every sleeping opportunity you can get.

1. Your most stable relationship is with your bed.

It's a beautiful thing, really. Cherish it.

2. Your friends regularly compare you to a sloth.

This is a compliment. Sloths sleep 18 hours out of the day. Could you imagine that kind of sleep endurance? It's a true talent and we should all be in awe of their powers.

3. You schedule your days around naps.

After work, before class, in between meals or whenever else we can possible fit it in. Without a nap, you revert to a grumpy toddler. Trust us sleepers, we need this.

4. Speaking of naps, they are far and beyond the best way to spend your free time.

How do people function without them? Seriously — I do not understand.

5. You can sleep through anything.

You've slept through earthquakes, fire alarms, regular alarms or someone literally shaking you. Bonus points if someone has been worried about you not waking up.

6. As a kid, you were always the first one to fall asleep and the last one to wake up at sleepovers.


Which means the pranks were definitely pulled on you, but the sleep was totally worth it.

7. Now that you're older, it's not uncommon for you to fall asleep at a party.

People just assume you're going to end up asleep on the couch at this point. Hopefully no one draws on you.

8. You generally get labeled as lazy.

And there might be a little truth behind this.

9. Your alarms look a lot like this:

Some people only need to set one alarm. But not you, you majestic, sleep-loving koala bear. You need one every five minutes for a solid hour.

10. You don't understand how people can function on less than eight hours of sleep.

It just... it doesn't make sense. How? How does this work? I don't get it.

11. You've wondered if your sleeping skills could somehow become a career.

It's not likely, but that doesn't matter. You'll keep hoping.

12. Falling asleep during class is a genuine fear.

It happens. Like all the time.

13. You have literally no problem falling asleep at night.

Do people really have to count sheep?

14. If you don't get enough sleep, you become an actual zombie.

People should probably just stay away from you if you're on less than six hours of sleep.

15. You've convinced yourself that oversleeping is good for you, but really, you're just too obsessed to ever stop.

Your life just wouldn't be as good without it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
