Nap Time

This is This Week, and This Week has both physically and emotionally drained me, which, in turn, has shown me the way. Recently, I have let a special something in my life, a thing that we all crave day by day, and once we find it, we love it and never let go. Yes indeed, I am talking about naps. Who new that the you could sleep... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

So, let me tell you of my discovery. It's Monday, I think... I don't know, but it's a day of the week, and I just got home from the orthodontist (exciting right). I'm straight up exhausted, I'm so tired, that I'm tired of being tired and miss not being tired, I fell asleep like, three or four times while the orthodontist was working on my teeth. Worst of all, they kept asking me things, and my mind told me that I responded, but I really didn't. This caused me to just be laying there, unconscious, and every time they have to tell me to move my head to the side or open wider, they have to jolt me awake nearly stabbing the insides of my mouth.

Anyway, I finally get home after a sleepy car ride. After watching two episodes on Netflix and eating second lunch (what, it's not like people only have three square meals a day?), you might as well have changed my last name to Hollow, cause' I was Sleepy... sorry. Then all of a sudden, as if the gates of heaven opened on my mother's mind, she spoke the blessed words of a goddess, "Why don't you take a nap?" GENIUS, why didn't I think of that in all my genius!

So, I throw my body down two flights of stairs and drag my body to my room. There, I happily threw myself into the bed, didn't even care about changing clothes. After about a half hour of full body paralysis and unconsciousness, my PaPa came in to rise me from my slumber to consume first dinner. I somewhat remember trying to respond, but my body was all like, "No, no, no, you love the bed, you love sleep." Knocked out for another half an hour and I finally wake up. Only an hour has passed, but I'm so disoriented that I thought a night had passed and I woke up in the morning. So, like a... a... a baby sheep... stuck in a... labyrinth, yeah, so like a baby sheep stuck in a labyrinth, I wander up stairs. There I find my mother, who asks me what time I went to sleep, I look outside to see that the sun is about to set and I'm freakin' out. I slept through a whole day, I missed school, it's finals week and I MISSED SCHOOL, oh no, oh no. All the while my mother is sitting there, watching me slowly slip into insanity, until she finally steps in asking what I'm talking about, it's still Tuesday (Aha! So this was Tuesday). Low and behold I still have another four hours before I should head to bed, thank God too.

So how do I spend my time? I go back to bed ASAP. Lesson of the story? Naps are amazing, they are just a form of day sleeping, and sleeping is up there with... with... with waking up and looking at the clock to realize you still got another four hours to sleep before going to school. There's even a foundation for sleeping, but sleeping is a blog for another day.
