Hold my calls – I’m sleeping

Run into me on a Monday and I’m a sweetheart.
If it’s Friday you might want to pass me by.

I blame the boss for not letting me take a nap.

There are two times in your life when the truth is evident.

Once when you’re two years old and once when you’re a billion years old – like me.

Naps are where it’s at.

Nap02Everybody loves naps except the people you work for.

We’ve all worked out elaborate ways of sitting in our office looking busy while we’re napping.

I like faking the study of some report.

Waste of good innovation.

Some of the greatest thinkers took lots of naps.

Winston Churchill fought World War Two while napping each day.

It was a bunch of years ago when some guy on the City Council tried to pass a bill giving city workers the right to take a 30 minute nap after lunch.

Everybody laughed at him, including me.

Then I saw the light, so to speak.
He was ahead of the time.

The workers thought it was a great idea.

The scientific research about naps has arrived.

I keep an eye on this stuff so you’ll always know what’s going on with test tubes and rat’s mazes.

Scientists are saying the evidence proves there are real benefits to a nap.

People who nap will tell you they knew it all along.

Nap01A short snooze of 10-20 minutes will fix you right up.

Got more time?
Then pack it in for at least 90 minutes.

Anything in between doesn’t work well.

It all has to do with non-REM and REM sleep.
Too complicated for here but I bet you don’t want to know why anyway.

I was in a meeting recently at 10 o’clock where I was dying to close my eyes.

Maybe I did because everyone suddenly started looking at me in a strange (or envious) way.

Maybe they thought I died.
Fooled them.

The Spanish have been doing napping for years.
They even close businesses for about two hours after lunch while everyone hits the rack.

Of course their economy is in the dumpster but it’s a small price for feeling good.

Some people say our economy isn’t much better.
They should take a nap and see if that brightens their day.

The further I get from Monday the grumpier I get.
That’s proof enough for me.

  1. My Dad took a 20 min nap after lunch his whole life. He always joked that anything he didn’t know as a doc was because the lecture was between 1:20 and 1:40 in med school
