As a self-proclaimed napaholic, I am all for a good nap. I don't just like naps, I love them. I live for them, in fact. I am certain I would not make it through most days without a good hour of shut eye. During hectic days and non-stop schedules, naps may very well be the only thing that keeps me sane. Here are 24 confessions all true napaholics can relate to:
1. 30 minutes between classes? You bet those 30 minutes are spent in bed.
2. When that 30 minute nap accidentally turns into two hours and you miss class. Whoops.
3. Napping anywhere and everywhere.
4. The undying urge to nap after eating a burrito bowl.
5. The undying urge to nap after eating anything, actually.
6. The terrifying moment when you wake up at 9 p.m. and think you missed out on the whole day.
7. The equally terrifying moment when you realize you did, in fact, miss out on the majority of the day.
8. When you wake up to five missed calls and eight texts from your worried mother about your well-being. I'm good Mom, no worries.
9. You often don't participate in last-minute plans because you're either napping or in need of a nap.
10. When you ask your friend to wake you at a certain time but they fall asleep because they too, are a napaholic.
11. Working out, but really only thinking about the nap you can take after your run.
12. Getting into bed mid-afternoon after classes. Best. Feeling. Ever.
13. Falling asleep to a good Netflix show in the background. Heaven.
14. Slumber party naps with your friends.
15. Waking up in the morning and already dreaming about the nap you will take in a few hours.
16. Considering yourself a professional napper.
17. Feeling like you can take on the world after a good slumber.
18. Those days when just one nap is not enough.
19. Virtually not hearing your alarm because it has somehow become part of your dream.
20. The hunger pains felt when you wake up because you napped through lunch. And dinner.
21. When you nap to escape all your emotions.
22. You wish you appreciated mandatory nap time as a toddler.
23. You can't study in bed because there is absolutely no doubt you will nod off.
24. Napping screws up your regular sleep schedule, but you're cool with it. You can just nap again tomorrow.
Shoutout to all my fellow napaholics. Sweet dreams!
