The Guiltiness of an Afternoon Nap
Ok I know we are all
guilty of it, but was it necessary or is it a necessity.
In the continent they have
siesta time, which the EU, is trying to do away with. I’m a rebel, so I’m
against the EU and their Idea.
Sometimes I find myself being
upset that I have to nap, even in the early afternoon, but really should I feel
guilty. Today, I got up and did some garden work, but after a bad night’s
sleep, (Which is not unusual for me), I found myself really tired, like an
energy leak had happened when I wasn’t looking. After that I had spend 30
minutes writing out orders to be sent and answering emails, looking through new
stock items, deciding what to order and so on, but by the end I was sitting on
the sofa, feeling so tired, exhausted even
Analyzing my tiredness, from
anything from a bad night’s sleep to my age, I made the decision that I would
take the plunge and Nap. Now strangely, When I nap it is a heavy sleep unlike
my usual Night’s sleep, which feels similar to a sea journey in a rowing boat
in the middle of a raging storm,. So I went to The land of Napping, waking 40
minutes later, feeling anything but rested, but I got up trailing myself from
the nice warm spot on the sofa, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, half awake, I
stumbled into the kitchen and began to work, Housework first, as I have to do
the chores due to my on my own status, made dinner, washed the dishes , Brought
a washing in, hung a washing out, put away my uniforms from my part time job as
a chef, hung clothes up and more. The amount of work I got done was great and
then I began to plan my strategy for my social media at the top of the garden
in the sun, as lately I have been busy with my business and my part time job,
plus 101 other things. Clearly my nap was not a waste of time, as I finished
the strategy plans in record time, with so many new ideas, I surprised myself. I also began writing my articles for my blog (
This was one of them),
Ok I did miss 40 minutes of
Warm sunny weather of our short summer, here in Northern Ireland . Our National Anthem should be the song from Annie
“The Sun Might Come Out Tomorrow, I know I have used Artistic license and
changed a word, but it’s true. It has been sunny here for 2 days and already
people are complaining. ??? Anyway Folks, getting back to my query about guiltiness
and naps. Today, My nap was not a waste of time , it revived me, cleared my
head and eventually got my ass into gear. (Note I said Today, in case there is
another day I do, feel guilty), as I got so much done.
Now I have discovered, that Albert Einstein,( who slept with his pencil in hand) Napoleon , ( Who napped upon his horse ), Wiston Churchill & Brahms were also advocates for Naps. See I'm not alone :)
But you might disagree. What
you think ????
Let me Know
Have a Great Day.
