Comments on: Get sharp. Take a nap. http://www.jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2008/12/15/get-sharp-take-a-nap/ Twisted by Jessica Zafra - Pumping irony since 1994 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:20:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: Franzi http://www.jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2008/12/15/get-sharp-take-a-nap/comment-page-1/#comment-38441 Franzi Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:28:24 +0000 http://jessicarulestheuniverse.com/?p=1688#comment-38441 When I was growing up, I hated when the old folks would bugger me everyday during vacation time to take a nap after lunch. I really would rather play in the neighborhood all day than nap. I'd pretend to be asleep, and when my aunt leaves the room, I sneak out. This worked for a while, until I got caught one day. Maybe the old folks really know how the universe works. Now I find myself dozing off during movies, watching PBA on tv, Sunday mass, etc. I actually worry whether I am afflicted with narcolepsy, because when the sleepy feeling strikes, I really can't keep my eyes open.

But even until now, most of Europe still observes the "siesta" hour. It's good, a lot of people, are harking back to the good ol days. I find it that even 15 minutes of napping or just closing your eyes, makes one sharper, going back to work.

Because you are not in slumber deep? No offense to #3. Isn’t being able to wake up easily after a nap, a key factor in napping? Because you are not in slumber deep? No offense to #3.

I am not really good at napping. I easily wake up. After a nap I am usually hungry. I usually go to bed before 9 every night when I am not busy. Sleeping early has already become a habit and reading a page or two of that monster of a book, Remembrance of Things Past by M. Proust. I've been having a lousy affair with it for a year now. But, no regrets. I can only nap on Sunday afternoons. I am not really good at napping. I easily wake up. After a nap I am usually hungry. I usually go to bed before 9 every night when I am not busy.
