I'm usually a big fan of getting my sleeping done at night, but that has been cut short the past few days. As a result, I had to make the troubling decision of whether or not to take a nap.
Naps are always a big decision for me. I'm not one to hastily make decisions, and this is no exception. I'm usually in need of sleep, but I take way too long to recover. It's the worst when I fall asleep in the mid to late afternoon and wake up when it's dark outside. Every time, my mind has to go through the same process, questioning why I'm up so early, why I'm really groggy, and why I'm still wearing all my clothes. At about that time, I realize it was the trick of the nap. For the next few hours, I feel like my head is still asleep and that I'm swimming through clouds. Then there's the uncomfortable feeling of being simultaneously really hungry and really full. It's just an all around awkward situation.
I wish there was some way I could prevent this from happening. Maybe... sleeping at night instead?
