After enough time spent alive, it becomes pretty clear to us that some of our best times are spent unconscious. Sleep is not only an essential part of healthy living, but it's also the one place where life's problems have the hardest time finding us. So it's kind of awesome.

And with the advent of naps, sleep doesn't just have to belong to the night. We can enjoy our beloved unconsciousness at any time of day in the form of napping. But not all naps are created equal. There are a great many types of naps, all with their own features, positives and negatives.

This Tumblr user went and made a short but handy taxonomy of napping, so that at any given time we can refer to it and go "yeah, that was one of those good siestas." Hey man, it's relatable. If there's a way to help us describe the times when we're essentially dead to the world, we're gonna run with it.

Alright, time for a nap.

For some more Tumblr moments, here are Tumblr gems to chortle at with merriment.
