Nap Time
I hated nap time in Kindergarten. Even then, my mind was racing and I had too many more important things to do than sleep. I learned to be quiet for the other kids because they needed more rest. Problem is, now that I'm a big kid, I have even more important things to do, and I'm getting even less sleep! Sometimes I power-nap on the ride home (because I ride a bus, remember--can't afford to drive) but when i finally get home, there's this weird paradox of tired and wired happening--I'm not feeling rested, yet i can't seem to stay asleep at night, either. It would be great if i were accomplishing all kinds of great things, but sometimes I sit and do nothing, right in the middle of all of the things calling for my attention. I fall asleep during the news, then wake up a few minutes later. I try again, usually waking within about an hour and a half. Total time between "down for the night" and "up for the day" is under six hours, and that's counting all the waking interruptions as "sleep." MAN, I'm TIRED. Is it nap time yet?
