I do not know how some people make it through an entire day without a nap. If I do not get an adequate nap during the day, I know I am bound to be at least slightly cranky. There is nothing better than a nice, refreshing nap to break up the long day. Here are seven things all of us professional nappers know to be true.

1. You can fall asleep anywhere.

It doesn't matter if it is a rock hard concrete floor in the middle of nowhere; you can fall asleep. People are always amazed and say something to the effect of "Are you really going to sleep there?" as you very happily curl up in the middle of the library for a little snooze before finally finishing that five-page paper.

2. Your ringtone is also your alarm clock.

You know it's real when your ringtone doubles as your alarm clock. Yes, people, that is my phone ringing; no, it's not the fire alarm. When you take at least one nap a day, you still gotta pick up your phone sometimes. "Just call me; I wont answer to a text" is totally normal to a pro.

3. Explaining the lines on your face and arms.

You stop trying to make up an excuse, because they are always there. Whether its a big, red spot on your forehead from the contact between your face and your forearm, or the marks from your blankets that line your arms. "Oh, that? I was napping."

4. Accepting the drool.

Listen, it happens more than people will admit; even the pro hates this. Whether its on your sleeve, shirt, or pillow, it's bound to happen. Most of the time the pro is really good at trying to hide it, but I can't count how many times I have had to wipe it off and go about like nothing happened.

5. You never feel guilty.

It doesn't matter how many naps you have taken throughout the day, or how much homework you have left. You're nice and refreshed now because you got plenty of sleep. Guilty is not even in a pro's vocabulary. Nap > everything else.

6. Your rookie friends never understand.

Yes I am choosing a nap over ice cream right now; I'll text you in a couple hours. Your friends who do not believe in daily naps don't understand that taking a nap is essential to functioning properly. They always give you heat for skipping out for a nap. #sorrynotsorry

7. It doesn't matter what time it is.

It can be at 9 a.m. when you have only been awake for an hour. Who cares? If you have an hour to spare, or even 15 minutes, it doesn't matter what time it is; you take advantage of it.
