finally!! this is my kind of thread!!
anyone who knows me knows that i am a chronic napper. i've been doing it for pretty much my whole life, so whenever an opportunity presents itself to me, i will take it to get some quick zzz's. now, don't get me wrong, there are drawbacks to this. sometimes i wake up super groggy and shitty, but those tend to go away after a while and they most commonly happen whenever i've had a terrible dream of some sort (or if i've just had a terrible nap. those happen, too). that said though, as much crap as naps given me for lack of properly sleeping at night, it
does mean that i can function on levels of sleep that "normal" people would find insane. im talking like... i can function fine on like 2-3 hours of sleep, provided i've had a nap beforehand and im not actually doing anything super strenuous or taxing.
that said though, i am the way i am because i....
think im a biphasic or polyphasic sleeper? and i've, again, been doing this my whole life so my body's pretty much become accustomed to this, so it's a normal way of life for me. if i'm tired/sleepy, im going to take that opportunity to take a quick nap. power naps are a godsend especially whenever i have jobs because im pretty decent at napping for a quick 30 mins - 1 hour and then being more or less ok.
