A pillowcase full of snoozy memes for all adults who want to leave everything behind and just use the afternoon for a long nap

Don't you just love to have a good nap in the middle of the day and wake up all confused, not knowing what day it is?

I'm a firm believer in the fact that taking a nap solves half of your everyday life problems. Are you too tired from work? Take a nap. You argued with half of your family over some stupid thing? You're tired; take a nap. Do you feel like you go through life hating people, and that everybody has a natural talent to get on your nerves? Dude, really, go to sleep for an hour or two. I promise, naps have a way of resetting your life back to square one.

Every time I feel like I hate all of humanity, I lie down for a while, and when I wake up, I say, "Huh, maybe people aren't so evil." I swear to you, naps have kept me and countless other people from turning into the real-life version of the Midgard Serpent, ready to begin the end of the world. At this point, they should be considered World Heritage, since, you know, they have kept the universe alive and all of that.

Seriously, some days I just wake up in the morning and feel like I was run over by a truck; that's how tired I get, and what saves me from falling asleep in the middle of my workday? Taking a little nap. I promise, it will restart your existence and turn you into a much more energetic and productive person. And even if it doesn't, who doesn't like to spend the entire afternoon in bed doing absolutely nothing?

This literally happened to me a few days ago! I was at my boyfriend's house, like I am most weekends, and since I'm me and it was a cool Sunday with not a lot of sun and not much motivation to go outside, I went to take a nap. It was a really good nap, mind you, but while I slept I left my phone in silence. One of my friends was messaging me, asking if I wanted to go to the park with her and walk the dog or something, a chill activity for the weekend. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I woke up like two hours later, at 7pm, with a bunch of unread messages. I was almost embarrassed to tell her that I didn't pick up the phone because I was asleep.

My thoughts exactly! I'm telling you, I'll never understand people who say that taking naps is a waste of time. You're recovering from a long day, resting, giving your body the chance to pause for a little while and reset to function better for the rest of the day. How's that a waste of time? It actually should be mandatory for all people over the age of 20 and under the age of 12. Have you seen a toddler who's tired and hasn't taken their nap yet? They are not nice to watch. There's a reason why our moms made us take a little nap when we were children. I know way too many kids who don't nap, and there comes a time of the day when they become little earthquakes, thrashing every delicate item inther house along with their mom's mental stability. So yeah, put the kids back to sleep, and let's just all take the chance to do it as well!
