Today I am thankful for naptime. This may not be my most meaningful, or serious, or memorable thankful post, but If you aren't thankful for the little things, you'll miss the big things.
After attempting, yet
failing miserably, to pull an all nighter last night (I suck at being a college
student, I can’t pull all nighters and function the next day to save my life), all I wanted to do today was go
home and sleep. Which I did. I had the best nap ever.
Anyone who thinks they are too old for nap time clearly doesn't have a whole lot going on in their day.
Last year a presenter came to my sorority to talk to us
about healthy college habits, and one of those habits was the idea of sleep
debt. I swear, it’s a real theory, look it up. Anyway, it basically says that
if you get less than 7 hours of sleep, you are in sleep debt. And you keep
accumulating this ‘debt’ until you finally pass out and sleep for days in order to repay your 'debt' pretty
much.
I absolutely think this
is a real thing. Ask my parents, whenever I come home on breaks I have about a three
day recovery period where all I do is sleep and I only leave my room for meals
and to pee. This could all be avoided however, if we took on the siesta mentality.
Whoever decided that naps after first grade were no longer
socially acceptable, well, they suck. I vote we bring back naptime. A socially supported siesta every day would be phenomenal. We have enough debt in this world, we don't need sleep debt too.
Thank god for naptime, best part of my day.
