As winter break slowly, but surely, comes to an end, I'm sure you're all thinking the same thing. How will I balance my newly revamped nap time with classes? Don't worry -- no professor in their right mind would cut into our precious nap time. They understand, life without naps isn't worth living. But just in case, let's discuss our scheduling options.

1. The post-Monday morning classes nap.

There is nothing sweeter than coming home mid-morning after a grueling 8:30 a.m. to plop straight back into bed and snooze away any knowledge you may or may not have consumed in the wee hours of lecture.

2. The pre-night out nap.

Whoever thought Thursday's needed to be thirsty or Friday's were prime late night days never met a sweet and succulent nap. Yes, I understand I'm 20 and young, and studying all day, staying out all night runs in my veins. But first, let me nap. Trust me, exhaustion and three a.m. dance parties will only lead to me plopping down in the middle of the road and refusing to move until someone carries me to my bed.

3. The I woke up before noon on a Sunday because of work, recruitment or study group from hell nap.

If you've never dragged your body home after a grueling afternoon of dining hall slave labor, forced perkiness to 100 plus peers, or that one study group member who, "really wants to get this done ASAP," then you've never college-d. The sweet relief of pulling back on those discarded pajamas and curling into bed for your early evening nap is a feeling I hope I never lose. Trust me, no one wants to see me at chapter without a pre-nap to decompress.

4. The I just ate my weight in food nap.

Yes, I realize that a pan of Mac and cheese with a side of the family size portion of mashed potatoes and gravy is a lot. No, that didn't stop me from inhaling everything. Yes, I will be back for seconds post nap. Don't forget, napping allows digestion. Plus, too full pains are much happier than too empty pains. Besides, I didn't don these sweats because they're cute; if I move another inch I might explode.

5. The cuddle time nap.

Nap time is also prime cuddle time. Whether it's with your dog, your best friend, or your body pillow, it's going to be satisfying. What's better than a lazy day nap? A lazy day nap justified by the fact that you're not going solo.

6. The I'll sleep anywhere because exhaustion nap.

There will always be those days where you're on your eighth latte, and still yawning. In moments like that, have no shame. While the head on books is a personal favorite, I also enjoy "reading" on a couch or squishy chair with legs stretched out, post nap tea brewed and waiting on the table next to me. Honestly, most of your peers will be jealous, and the others? Haters are always going to hate, but naps are not always going to be so readily available. Take advantage while you can, post-college real world living sounds like nap-less torture.

7. The Netflix and nap.

Yes, one of the ever popular, "I sat down to catch up on 'Grey's' and now I'm sprawled across the couch and drooling" nap. It's unexpected but, oh, so necessary. Don't worry about what you missed, your favorite character probably died in a freak accident that makes you seriously consider never going near Seattle. So, nothing new. Thanks, Shonda.

The typical, I meant to clean but I decided to start with a nap and now it's p.m. and I feel like staying in my cocoon of pillows and judgment free love zone forever, nap. May also occur on days when the boredom is too much you just need to nap it away. Don't worry, the nap monster gets the best of us. It's really better just to give in.

It's OK. Seriously. You can pat yourself on the back for even getting this far. Everyone has a napping point, and during finals week, with so many naps being put on hold or rearranged, you can't blame your body for taking charge of its nap time. It's only natural. I'd be more worried if the nap monster didn't break you. Take a rest, lie back, and when you wake up, drink some tea and return to your notes. Your studies will wait for you, they are not season three chuck on the top of the Empire State Building.
