There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
Napping is an art that few appreciate. Taking a nap and sleeping during the day are very different things to me. I rarely nap during the day, but certainly understand the benefits of a good 17-minute power nap and use it when needed.
Last night I had trouble getting to sleep and woke up tired. Surprisingly, I made it through the day without a nap. Now that it's almost 6 pm my main priority is to NOT snooze on the couch before bedtime, or the cycle will start over.
I avoid naps like the plague. If I sleep during the day, I don't sleep at night. I have issues with insomnia so have to be very careful not to mess with my sleep in anyway.
I LOVE naps, and don't get enough of them. Not nearly enough.
ReplyDeleteSue - Take a nap. Right now!
ReplyDelete"To go to sleep you have to pretend to be asleep until you actually are."
ReplyDeleteI do that! It works.
I don't nap intentionally during the day, it just happens while I'm watching something on TV.
ReplyDeleteNapping is a favourite pastime in our home! HAHA
ReplyDeleteThe older I get, the more I nap!

There's nothing cozier than being in bed on a cold night with...
ReplyDeletea damn good book!
I'm at work, thinking I need a nap.

ReplyDeleteI just woke up from one.
ReplyDeleteThat second one - ouch. That's me. I'm almost chronically tired and it's getting harder to function that way the older I get.
ReplyDeleteRiver - Unfortunately not for me.
ReplyDeleteBill - Depends on the show.
Martha - I know I talk about naps a lot, but I rarely take one.
John - You sent me a nap meme but I couldn't find it.
Shaw - I can't read in bed. I can't get in the right position. I need a chair.
Mark - Work will make you sleepy instantly.
Kathy - I don't snooze but do close my eyes and think of things other than the TV.
Kirk - Don't quit now!
Jenny - But you're always thinking and that burns a lot of energy. And you need a nap.
I have discovered naps in retirement and I think I like 'em. That Saturday meme is too relatable to me.

ReplyDeleteLady - If I close my eyes during the day I generally don't sleep. But it helps me not to look at stuff.
