Naps

     Who doesn't like naps? When I was little, my parents always made me take naps, and I hated them! Well now, I can't get enough of them. It's kind of like when you get to a certain age, you switch over from not wanting naps, to begging you parents if you could just sleep in a little more. I believe that teens and young adults should get more sleep, and even try to work in a few naps here and there.

     Now of course that doesn't mean that you should take naps if you already don't do anything useful, but for those of us who are full time students, work, and do after school activities, I say sleep it up! Grab a nap whenever you can, because trust me, they don't come often. 

     I think most of the problem is, that students tend to push themselves to their sleeping limit. Once college starts, the procrastination gets bigger. Procrastination is the root of this problem. Because we procrastinate, we push off our sleep due to last minute cram sessions or homework that is due tomorrow. We think that since we are young, our bodies can handle it. I'm not gonna lie, the only thing that gets me through some late nights is the fact that I know I can have a nap the next day. 

     For those of us who also have jobs, we get home late, relax a bit, do homework, and push off sleep until the late hours of the night, only to wake up early the next morning. Then the cycle just begins all over again.  Because of this, we tend to crash during daytime hours whenever possible. Our bodies do need rest, so I say, whenever you get the chance, take a nap!
