The Napping Debate

I don't know what it is but lately I have needed to nap. Michael came home today and told me that I looked like I had been hit by a truck and to go rest for a while. I ended up taking about an hour long nap--which never seems enough for me. I woke up crankier than when I went to sleep...and now I am not tired enough to fall asleep. It seems I should be tired as I am being serenaded by the sleeping sounds next to me. I am sure if I just shut the computer and rolled over, the story may change.

Napping is always an interesting concept. We know little ones need a nap-but when do they grow out of it? By the way my four year old was acting today she hasn't. In fact, I would dare say most of us need a nap each day, but we don't have time to do it. I know some people who can take a twenty minute power nap and be recharged. Me...I am more of a two hour siesta napper. It really isn't worth it to me if it isn't long I am up for the concept in Mexico...close up shop and take a 2 hour rest. Or like this gorilla resting at the OKC zoo. This picture was taken by the Taviano's on their 52 zoos adventure.


But...America doesn't work that way. So tomorrow, I will go to work and long for my afternoon siesta which will probably be replaced by a warm cup of tea.
