A nap is like a gift from the gods; a brief moment of peaceful bliss that allows one to decompress from morning activities and prepare for evening adventures. My roommate and I find that napping cures pretty much everything from academic stress to overwhelming social situations, we can always count on our naps to support us in our time of need.

While our friends live their lives day-by-day, we live nap-by-nap and therefore receive strange looks when they find out we stayed up studying until 4:30 am and we were late to dinner because our nap was more important. Here's a list of truths that we hope all professional nappers will appreciate:

1. You don't understand people who never take naps.

How do you even survive???

2. The only thing that gets you through that fourth class is knowing your nap is coming.

Only 43 more minutes until I enter my dreamland.

3. Your bed is your best friend.

Your favorite hello and your hardest goodbye.

4. You stay up excessively late.

The struggle of finishing your homework in the hours of the morning.

5. Your friends judge you.

They also tag you in various videos about naps and beanbags you should purchase in order to maximize your naps.

6. Sometimes you figure out how much work you need to get done to justify your nap.

Justification is key.

7. Other times you just nap without a care in the world.

Then again, maybe not.

8. When you get up from a nap you begin to think about the next time you can nap.

Day-by-day, nap-by-nap.

9. Post- shower naps.

So refreshing.

10. Pre-dinner naps.

A nap is perfect for that awkward time in between class and food.

11. Why socialize when you can nap? (kidding, kinda)

Sometimes it's hard to find a balance, especially for extroverted introverts.

12. You and your roommate have bonded over naps and have multiple nap dates a week.

So lucky to have found someone who appreciates my love of naps.
