I cannot recall the last time that I have actually felt rested after a night of sleep. Maybe because I don't remember the last time I made it through the night without staring at the clock for at least half an hour. Why is this happening? Right now, my daughter is sleeping and I would love nothing more than to join her. I feel this way almost daily...a certain jealousy of my daughter's need and ability to nap everyday.
Why is it not okay for adults to take naps? Why is it looked at as a weakness or laziness? Why can't we have a daily "siesta"? How much more productive would Americans be at work if they were allowed to take a 30 minute nap? How much happier would the stay at home moms be if the got 30 minutes to rest up before taking care of an entire household? 30 minutes is all I ask! Well, that and not to be called "lazy", "slacker", or "weak" because of it.
