Raise your hand if you are against it!
Well… is not that I’m actually against it, it’s just that I can’t handle it. Having a twenty minute nap every day? No way.
I have (sadly) taken the decision of training my body not to have a nap after lunch from Monday to Friday anymore, because it’s not for me. Sleeping only a little is impossible, a proper fight with myself. It always ends up lasting at least an hour, maybe more, which makes me deeply moody, ridiculously mad at myself of wasting “the entire day” and I don’t get to be on the ball at all.
I understand all the benefits a nap brings to the human body, it could be really good for your health. It might help to focus better and to prevent coronary disease. But in my case does more harm than good: it transforms me into an awful monster spreading bad vibrations to the world.
Don’t get me wrong, I loooove to nap. I struggled a lot to stop. Took me a couple of weeks, a few changes in my daily routine and going to bed earlier than I used to at that moment, in order to feel alright without sleeping.
So, if I sleep in the afternoon, it’s on weekends. My favourite nap ever? Waking up early to have a massive breakfast and then back to sleep for another hour more… or two ;)
