Let's face it; all college students take naps. It seems like every time we get the perfect opportunity to lay down and rest for a while something happens to wake us from our slumber. I've experienced nap interruption at home and while living in the dorms, and they are both equally infuriating. I've laid out a list of both college and home annoyances that wake us from our precious beauty sleep.
At College:
1. Fire alarms- Normally they tell you when they are gonna happen, but sometimes they will surprise you, even when you're napping.
2. Roommates- They always come in at the most inappropriate time, but when your napping is the worst, especially if they bring guests.
3. Suit mates- You wouldn't think they would affect your napping schedule but they can. If they are loud talkers, play loud music or take showers right once your about to lay down, it will affect how you sleep.
4. Hallway noise- This only really affects you if you live on a busy floor, near the main lobby, or next to noise neighbors, but if they are loud and screaming, they will wake you.
5. Phones- It's like the minute you lay down and start to drift into sleep, someone texts you, the group chat blows up your phone, or your mom calls you; it's bad timing for everyone.
At Home:
1. The Vacuum- Of course, the one and only time someone is actually cleaning the house is when you are napping. Great.
2. The Kitchen- If you are like me and you have a room right near the kitchen, then you hear everything that is going on in the kitchen. Cleaning, cooking, and talking!
3. Yelling and fighting- The moment you lay down is the same moment that your siblings decide to fight, or your mom decides to give a yelling lecture to your younger brother. In the end you end up yelling at them.
4. Animals- They always want attention, even if your napping. The one time my cat decides to give me love is when I'm napping, and it's good that he loves me, but seriously I'm napping.
5. Music and movies- It's okay to watch and listen to them, but when the volume is at max there will be a problem. I'm napping!
Overall lesson to be learned; don't mess with me when I'm napping.
