5 Things Everyone Who Loves Sleep Know To Be True

I'm pretty sure my spirit animal was meant to be a sloth because I find myself finding comfort sleeping as long as possible and moving extra slow if I have to leave the comfort of my bed. The struggle is real to pick our legs out of bed and be a contributing member of society. At work I slowly count down the hours until I'm reunited with my blankets and can close my eyes. If you love sleep you will understand all five of these.

1. You wake up early and see that you still have a half hour of sleep, but somehow it feels like five minutes.

I've had this happen too many times to count. I wake up at feel like it's Christmas all over again that I don't have to wake up yet. It doesn't help that I wake up like every hour during the night, so realizing I have more time is actually quite a big deal. The only downside is that time seems to move super quick once your eyes close, so it's as if no extra sleep happened at all.

2. You lie in bed at night counting how many hours of sleep you will get if you start sleeping at that exact moment.

There is just something so satisfying knowing that you will be getting exactly 6 hours and 43 minutes of sleep that night. When you really start getting into it, you find different ways you can shave time off getting ready for bed so that way you get even more sleep. And they say math is complicated.

3. When someone in your house is making every noise possible and you wake up with the wrath of a thousand lightning bolts coming out of your eyes.

Excuse me? Do I run around the house like Mushu from Mulan trying to wake up all the ancestors when you're trying to sleep? No. My mood for the entire day is dependent upon on how peaceful my slumber is. So if you decide you want to be obnoxious, then you better expect I'm gonna wake up ready to kill someone.

4. Your friends call you lame and old because you dip out super early.

When I hang out with my friends I always make sure to leave around a reasonable time to make sure that I won't be tired. However, my friends think I'm crazy that I don't want to stay out until all hours like most people my age do. Sorry sleep over my peeps.

5. When you finally lay down after a long day and the bed melts your entire body.

This. This, this, this. By the end of the day my body feels like a sack of boulders that I'm shuffling around everywhere like a zombie. The feeling of cold pillows and cozy blankets is a match made in Heaven. I feel bad for people who don't fully appreciate sleeping cause they also miss out on this.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
