I've always been a big sleeper. As a kid, I thought I slept a lot because I was growing. As a teenager, I thought it was because of being physically and mentally drained from both working and going to school. In college, I thought it was because of depression. Now, during this quarantine, I realized I just enjoy sleeping. Here are my ten things all sleepaholics can relate to.
1. Staying up all night is the last thing you want to do
GiphyNo, I don't want to sacrifice my sleep to hang out with friends longer or cram for an exam.
2. There's a "magic number" of hours of sleep per night you need to feel rested
GiphyWhile most of my friends seem to sleep a range of six to nine hours, I'm not going to wake up feeling refreshed until I hit the 10.5 hour mark, or more.
3. You probably take too many and too long of naps
GiphyDuring quarantine, I've been taking one nap a day which usually lasts for two and a half hours.
4. People don't panic if you don't text them back right away
GiphyThe amount of times I've seen a missed call or text and responded with, "Omg I'm so sorry I was sleeping" and the person responds with "I figured" is way too high.
5. Always being the first one asleep and last one awake at sleepovers
GiphyI swear I'm not bored, just tired.
6. Missing meals because you wanted to sleep
GiphySorry guys, don't count on me being at the family dinner tonight.
7. Counting how many hours of sleep you're going to get each night
Giphy"If I finish chem by 9:00 pm, I could be asleep by 10:00 pm, and that would be 10 hours."
8. Snoozing your alarm multiple times in the morning
GiphyAlarms aren't fun for anyone to wake up to, but especially if you're a sleepaholic.
10. Your parents reaching the point where they just accept your sleeping habits
GiphyIt only took 20 years, but I think they finally understand.
Here are 10 things most sleepaholics can relate to. Being a sleepaholic during this quarantine is our time to shine. Keep calm and sleep on!
