God, I need a nap. And yes, I know it was a three-day weekend; I took naps every day, too. And I needed them.
zzzzzz.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I woke up very early every day of the long weekend, very perky.
This morning, when an actual alarm went off, I was groggy and disbelieving.
I tried to nap to make up the sleep differential, but the math so rarely works.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I could be napping right now. The boy's asleep. I'm a putz.

Everytime someone calls Pierce smooth and perfect, I think of this pic.
that pic makes me think Patrick Swayze. I think it's the hair.

What IS it with that, anyway? And why does a nap sometimes make you feel human again and sometimes make you groggy all evening UNTIL you go to bed, at which point you are wide awake?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Eeep. A few minutes ago I stopped a nurse in the hall to ask about the PICU possibly donating some of the items on the list Kathy A linked to in Press last weekend, and she turned around and introduced me to the VP of the Children's Hospital, who was just coming out of one of the bathrooms that very second. The VP seemed really interested and excited, and at her request I just finished writing and sending her a detailed email about it.
I might actually be able to help people do something constructive. Eeep! t crossing all digits

Ooh, maybe that's why it skeevs me a bit.

Has to do with where you are in the sleep cycle, really. Best thing for naps is to go no longer than 40 minutes.

I'm lucky with naps -- I always feel better after one. But that's if my body lets me take one.

I'm a good napper also, but yeah, 15-30 minutes seems to work better than an hour or more.
They should have a permissible naptime at work. I always had to hide somewhere to get my 15-minute midday nap; without it, I could do nothing productive. It was a benefit to the company for me to have it, but really frowned upon if caught.

This is a research project I could get behind, or in front of, or under, or on top of, or something.
I had many sleep disruption issues this weekend so I am sitting around in my jammies taking a lazy day. We also have a tropical depression sitting here that is making it a stay home kind of day. Pray it goes north like it supposed to and not west.
The news item that Customs was sending 100's of thousands of items of counterfeit designer clothes to the victims was just plain cool. Yay for common sense.
