ZZZ's

I have been criticized by my new Wake Forest colleagues for my love of napping.

"You sleep more than anyone I know"
"Gah, did you take another nap?"
"You have pillow lines on your face again"

Give me a break, people. I only take one (maybe two) naps per day. And so what if this sleep addiction causes me to miss appointments, press the snooze button 20 times, or screen my phone calls? I know what I'm doing and I don't feel guilty. It's what I'd like to call "concentrated laziness". Two hour nap? Great, two hour workout. 30 minute nap? Great, 2nd 30 minute nap and then 30 minute work out and break a sweat.

Honestly, I think my body just needs more sleep these days. It's resting and trying to recover from the past year of chronic illness and stress. It'll just take time to be able to function on 6 hours a nights instead of 8. Or 9. Maybe even 10.
