I love naps. I swear they are what has gotten me through most of my life. I am able to do so much more if I just take 15 minutes to rest my eyes. I laugh because my grandma used to say that when I was little and I would ask if she was sleeping. We also had a rule in the house that you did not wake my mom from a nap. She was also a queen of cat naps. I remember pulling off the side of the road so mom could close her eyes for a second and take a quick nap. I was amazed that she needed such little time and she didn’t need an alarm clock to wake her up.

Now that I have been on vacation mode for a full week, I find myself napping just because I can. I think I’m tired because my bedtime has been later than usual and the amount of sleep I’m getting has not been stable. I sometimes think I am more tired if I get too much sleep. But I wonder then, why do I sleep that long if my body doesn’t actually need it? Deep thoughts on a cold and uneventful day, I suppose.
