Hey, you up?

Sleep is absolutely crucial to our health and well-being. It doesn't matter if we're man, woman, child, or anything else, we need sleep. These crucial hours of rest give us not only a keen and productive mindset, but it helps us actually feel happy, motivated, and rational. Ever cry for no reason and you just can't figure out what caused the tears? You may have just been tired. And they say that driving while sleep deprived is just as dangerous as if you had a few to drink. The point is that we all need and love to sleep, but it doesn't always work like that for everyone. Some of us are not as lucky when we shut our eyes. To effortlessly drift off to dreamland may be harder for some, the mere lambent light of another room could stir our peace and quiet. And what about cats?

Cats need sleep too! They need their rest and digest, but it may not be when you're having yours. In fact, it's probably nowhere near the time that you're resting. It's more likely that they sleep all day while you're working, just to start their evening of zoomies around 6 pm, and have a peak of energy at 3 in the morning. Yeah, you didn't know it could be so daunting to be a cat owner, did you? But what is there to do? They're too cute for us to care. We choose sleeplessness over catlessness.

  • I'm someone that goes through bouts of insomnia, and I can tell you one thing: having a cat or scrolling cat memes always helps me. When I can't sleep at night, I know I have my little kitty there to give me love and comfort. Even if he's asleep safe and sound, it's still a comfort to know he's next to me. And if that doesn't do the trick then I can always scroll cat memes to lull myself into a slumber. Trust me, it works. They say not to go on your phone before bed, but there are exceptions to everything, like cat memes at midnight.
