Naps are magical creations or life altering tonics, if you will, that in some situations can save your sanity if not your life. And DEFINITELY the lives of others around you.
Point in case: In the last week or more my schedule has been all out of whack and I haven’t been getting enough sleep. I was cranky (to say the least) with nothing even vaguely resembling patience or compassion. I was this close to turning into the same dragon that the evil Queen in Sleeping Beauty turns into, when it occurred to me that what I really needed was a nap.
Friends, let me tell you. In one small hour I was transformed from a blood thirsty, deranged monster into the very paragon of virtue, patience and fairy-godmother like compassion. Not to mention the wonders it did for my skin! You’ve never seen such a healthy glow. It took years, YEARS off my face and I felt like a school-girl all over again.
Now friends, if you feel like you could kill someone right this very instant or your brain is so addled you can’t even walk straight much less think another coherent thought, I suggest you run out right this very instant and get yourself a nap. It will change your life. Trust me. You’ll thank me afterward. So will the people around you.
As a matter of fact I DO have someone on my list I am a little ill with! However, strangely enough, naps tend to make me MORE cranky. Go figure.
I’m the same way with naps (and blog layouts, come to think of it).
My mom swears that I must have been a cat in another life.
Saw the title and thought “I HAVE to have some of this tonic!!!” However, napping has to be longer than an hour for me, otherwise i’ll be more cranky! Glad for you and yours that the “tonic” worked
