Do you love to stay in bed and sleep until noon? Well, too bad! It's meme o'clock.

All of us who are not morning people feel our best when we spend as much of our morning as possible sleeping. It should be considered an Olympic sport. It takes years to master the art of not waking up, not even if the sky falls.The feeling of sleeping while it rains outside is one of my most favorite activities ever.

However, in this society, sleeping all day is frowned upon. We have work and responsibilities to attend to, and we can't neglect those. It's a real shame that us night owls have to adapt to the rest of the universe's schedule, but there's not much we can do about it except complain every once in a while and laugh. If we're aiming to have at least a semblance of a social life, we need to have a "normal" schedule, along with the rest of the population.

Still, we manage to take every chance we get to sleep at least five more minutes… Or ten, or thirty. We start developing strategies to give ourselves a few extra minutes to stay in bed. We choose our outfits for the day the night before. We leave our lunch packed and our breakfast ready (overnight oats is a good one). And we have at least a dozen alarms set, because we have to face it: we never get up with the first one.

It's a wonderful feeling when the weekend finally comes, and we have no morning responsibilities. No going for a run at 8 AM, no morning meetings to attend. We can stay under the covers for as long as we want. That is, until we get hungry and have to get up to eat something. Breakfast is non-negotiable.

So scroll through these sleepy memes and smile while you're still lying in bed, there's no need to get up.
