I’ve always been that person who can run on very little sleep for weeks on end, then sleep in one Saturday morning and am good to go for another month. Who can get up at 6:45am and keep going til midnight. So when I got comfortable on my couch this afternoon after a busy morning shoveling followed by an hour’s walk, and then the regular set of household chores that happen on Monday, I expected to watch a little TV then get back to it...
Umm. My fitness/sleep tracker informs me I got over an hour of sleep. When I mentioned this to Mr. Brillig, he replied “Oh yeah. You were out cold both times I came downstairs.” While this is not the first time in the past couple of months I’ve totally crashed in the middle of the day, I do think the snowplow and shovelers clearing out my neighbor’s driveway at 1am last night might have something to do with it.
My name is Brillig, and I am a new member of Naptime Anonymous. I know logically that naps are healthy, but this is all new to me and I’m here to start tonight with two questions to discuss in the comments:
1. Do you nap? Regularly?
2. Are you a power napper or a let my body decide person?
When K1 was young and in daycare, this was one of her favorite songs:

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?
