If there was an award for napping, I think I’d be wearing that crown right now. For me, naps are literally bae. It’s just such a beautiful thing. I mean anything in life can be solved by taking a nap. Feeling stressed? Nap. Tired? Nap. Sick? Nap. My life is not complete without a nap at least once a day, no matter how long or short. So here I am proudly saying, hi, my name is Simran, and I am a Napping Queen.
Confession #1: I wake up in the mornings and I create a schedule for the day so I know that I have time for a mid-afternoon nap. I spend my time working hard and staying productive because the sooner I finish my work, the faster I can get some shut eye. This is the only way I am able to get myself up from my morning slumber.
Confession #2: I have cancelled plans one too many times because of nap time. What can I say, I love being cuddled up in bed and just drifting off to La La Land.
Confession #3: I am a ruthless monster when I have to wake up from a nap. My family and friends are sadly given the task to wake me up because alarms are no good; I just sleep right through them. So, when they have to come in and tell me to get up, I tend to get a little vicious. But, the funny thing is that when I’m actually awake, I have no idea what I said or did. Sorry!
Confession #4: When I say, “I’ll just lay down for a few minutes” it’s actually code for “I’m passing out for 3 hours. Wake me at your own peril”. The problem with this kind of nap is that when I wake up, I’m beyond confused and a bit disoriented.
Confession #5: I am a pretty anxious person, so when life gets tough and I’m overwhelmed, I just take a nap. For some reason I believe that by the time I wake up the universe will have somehow made life less complicated. It obviously doesn’t, but it calms me down.
Confession #6: Napping can be done anywhere. Class, a couch, a chair, a desk, a bed, a car… it’s all the same to me.
Confession #7: Sometimes I try not to nap so I can power through some readings, but my body decides to just ignore my command and puts me to sleep anyway. There have been so many times that I’m working and I just tip over in bed (I like to take notes in bed) and pass out. When I wake up from these forceful naps, I don’t even know what century I’m in.
Confession #8: Most people like to go out after an exam to celebrate freedom, but I like to take a nice long nap to celebrate no more allnighters.
Confession #9: There have been times when I wake up from a nap and don’t remember if I actually meant to take a nap or if went to bed for the night.
Confession #10: In certain classes I try so hard to pay attention, but all I can really think about is the nap I’m going to take later. Just knowing there is a nap to look forward to gets me through the class.
Confession #11: After eating a burrito, I NEED to take a nap. I swear burritos are like a sleeping drug for me, I actually can’t function after eating one. That’s why I always opt for a burrito bowl.
So there you have it! These are my confessions of being a Napping Queen, what are yours?
