15 Things Only People Who Love Sleep Will Understand

Sleep is a beautiful thing. You don't have to deal with people or stress; you can just fall into a healthy unconsciousness that lets you escape the world. To you, there's no such thing as bad sleep. All sleep is good sleep. You pride yourself on that time you slept for fourteen hours and the fact that you've never once been able to pull off an all-nighter. Your family and friends know not to get between you and your sleep, even if they don't understand your love for it. Some people may judge or call you a hermit, but you know that sleep is by far one of the best things about this world, and you will take advantage of every sleeping opportunity you can get.

1. Your most stable relationship is with your bed.

It's a beautiful thing, really. Cherish it.

2. Your friends regularly compare you to a sloth.

This is a compliment. Sloths sleep 18 hours out of the day. Could you imagine that kind of sleep endurance? It's a true talent and we should all be in awe of their powers.

3. You schedule your days around naps.

After work, before class, in between meals or whenever else we can possible fit it in. Without a nap, you revert to a grumpy toddler. Trust us sleepers, we need this.

4. Speaking of naps, they are far and beyond the best way to spend your free time.

How do people function without them? Seriously — I do not understand.

5. You can sleep through anything.

You've slept through earthquakes, fire alarms, regular alarms or someone literally shaking you. Bonus points if someone has been worried about you not waking up.

6. As a kid, you were always the first one to fall asleep and the last one to wake up at sleepovers.


Which means the pranks were definitely pulled on you, but the sleep was totally worth it.

7. Now that you're older, it's not uncommon for you to fall asleep at a party.

People just assume you're going to end up asleep on the couch at this point. Hopefully no one draws on you.

8. You generally get labeled as lazy.

And there might be a little truth behind this.

9. Your alarms look a lot like this:

Some people only need to set one alarm. But not you, you majestic, sleep-loving koala bear. You need one every five minutes for a solid hour.

10. You don't understand how people can function on less than eight hours of sleep.

It just... it doesn't make sense. How? How does this work? I don't get it.

11. You've wondered if your sleeping skills could somehow become a career.

It's not likely, but that doesn't matter. You'll keep hoping.

12. Falling asleep during class is a genuine fear.

It happens. Like all the time.

13. You have literally no problem falling asleep at night.

Do people really have to count sheep?

14. If you don't get enough sleep, you become an actual zombie.

People should probably just stay away from you if you're on less than six hours of sleep.

15. You've convinced yourself that oversleeping is good for you, but really, you're just too obsessed to ever stop.

Your life just wouldn't be as good without it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
