Late in the Day Nap
A conundrum if ever one was
I’ve taken to staying up late to stream things my wife doesn’t like to watch — random series, horror movies, etc. My most recent late-night movie was Tenet, a 2020 film by Christopher Nolan that I’ll need to re-watch several times to understand. While I’ve enjoyed the movies and the late night thing more generally, the downside is that I’m often tired during the day.
So I woke up late (to my wife’s dismay) and tired (to mine) and began a particularly busy day that included a guitar lesson with my high school guitar teacher I regret not taking more seriously in the late 90s — he’s still he best guitarist I’ve ever known — as well as a “sweetheart dance” at our little one’s school. Come 5:30pm, when we got home, I was wrecked.
My back hurt, so I laid down on the Moon Pod because it felt good. I immediately began to feel drowsy and knew that I had to sleep — but I was in a precarious situation, as a nap this late in the day could be trouble if not executed perfectly. My three-year old was in the room and not helping with my need for a nap — this was going to be tricky.
I laid back, set an alarm for 15 minutes, and closed my eyes. My little one didn’t make it easy, but I managed to lose consh and came away feeling the just right amount refreshed.
So how do I feel about this? Mixed. More tomorrow.
