Everyone needs sleep, but what is a professional napper? Well let me tell you: we grade-A nappers take sleeping to a whole new level. We are part of a elite group who can adequately appreciate the feeling when you achieve the Holy Grail of naps. While you’re out partying it up we are napping it up. We might as well be majoring in it.
Dating a professional napper may be difficult if you aren’t one yourself. But the golden rule is to let us nap or you will regret it. So play your video games or paint your toenails while we nap. We will love you for it when we wake up. Another thing to remember is that we aren’t necessarily lazy. We just prioritize our time very well and spare time is opportunity knocking. Sleep is necessary for good health so it would be dangerous not to nap.
With that in mind here are 10 signs that you may be a professional napper.
- You can sleep anywhere
Cars, couches, floors, while sitting or standing, it doesn’t matter. Once you’ve entered the zone it’s lights out. Of course you prefer your bed or couch but you really aren’t all that picky.
2. You survive by periodically napping.
Have 20 minutes before a class? Perfect amount of time for a quickie. A 10-minute bus ride? Still doable.
3. All your major life problems are solved by naps.
By the time you wake up the problem has either disappeared or gotten so big that you cant do anything about it anyway.
4.You are insanely jealous that preschoolers and kindergarteners get scheduled nap times.
Why isn’t this a thing in college or at work? You would be a much more productive student or employee if you had nap breaks.
5. On more than one occasion you have laid down for a twenty-minute nap and woke up confused about what century it is.
You also have several voicemails from friends, family, and your work asking if you are dead.
6. Your weekend/days off are basically one long nap.
But then you wake up extremely hungry and find out that your family took a trip to the Bahamas and came back and you slept through it.
7. You are extremely jealous of cats who get to nap all day
Cats sleep on an average of 14-16 hours per day.
8. No one worries if you don’t text back for a few hours
In fact no one even calls unless it has passed the 8-hour mark.
9. Everything you do is rewarded by naps.
Got an A on a test= nap. Survived work= nap. Ate dinner= nap. Fed the dog=nap.
10. You have bailed on or canceled plans numerous times because of you'd rather nap.
Don't judge. You just can't deal with people today.
