The Ultimate Guide To The Best Types Of Naps

Not all catnaps are created equal.

The Ultimate Guide To The Best Types Of Naps

Have you ever thought, "gee, I could really use a nap right now"? Of course you have. If you're reading this, you are probably a college student procrastinating all that homework and studying by scrolling through Facebook and reading articles written by writers who are also tired, procrastinating college students such as yours truly. Well friends, that procrastination usually results in an epic, study-free, relaxing, fantastic nap. However, not all naps are created equal, so here is my list of the best naps you can possibly take.

1. The Seventh Inning Sleep

Have you ever slept through a baseball game? No, not at an actual baseball game; I mean a nap while your favorite team is playing on your TV and it's just unexciting enough that you pass out during the bottom of the third inning and wake up in the top of the eighth. You generally see all of the important parts of the game and you get a good hour catnap in just in time to see who won. This is nap perfection, folks.

2. The Food Network Nod-Off

This nap works for any food or cooking related show really, but a personal favorite is "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." You glide in and out of sleep, and every time you awaken, there is food present on your TV for your viewing pleasure. It's a life-changing experience, I swear.

3. The I AM GOING TO SLEEP RIGHT HERE

No matter how uncomfortable you may appear, how strange of a place you're in, or how loud it may be, this style of nap comes upon you once in a great while when you least expect it. Maybe you're in the middle of a lecture, doing something important, haven't slept for four days straight, or just happen to find a comfortable spot at a party. Whatever it may be, just accept the nap. Odds are you need it, and it needs you, too.

4. The Snore-Worthy Movie

There are certain movies that you've seen two hundred times and are played consistently on TBS at 1:00 a.m. Once you put it on, there's no way you're going to stay awake. Try as you may, this movie is so comforting, like an old friend that you just have to accept it and pass out on your couch. By the time you wake up, infomercials are probably on and it's time for a full night's sleep.

5. The Road Trip Doze

Road trips are fun and all, but you have to sleep at some point. You claim the backseat, sprawl across its entirety, and fall asleep to whatever mix CD you have playing. No lie, I've had some of my best naps somewhere in Indiana.

6. The Too Much To Do Nap

Ever had so much to do that instead you just take a nap for three hours? Yeah, me too.

7. The Nothing-To-Do Snooze

Ever had nothing at all to do so you take a nap for three hours? Yeah, me too.

8. The Planned Siesta

If you truly have to be productive, you just schedule a nap for the next day. That's what gets you through all of the productivity and effort: the night-light at the end of the tunnel.

9. The Tomorrowland Sleep

This is the nap that is supposed to be "just five minutes" and then you wake up 12 hours later and it's tomorrow. Oops.

Naps are the bomb.com, no matter what kind of nap. Some naps are superior to others, but all naps are special in their own way. So go ahead, avoid that project, and take a nap. Or finish it, and then take a nap. Whatever nap floats your boat, man.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
