??I count it as an absolute certainty that in paradise, everyone naps. A nap is a perfect pleasure and it's useful, too. It splits the day into two halves, making each half more manageable and enjoyable. How much easier it is to work in the morning if we know we have a nap to look forward to after lunch; and how much more pleasant the late afternoon and evening become after a little sleep. If you know there is a nap to come later in the day, then you can banish forever that terrible sense of doom one feels at 9 A.M. with eight hours of straight toil ahead. Not only that, but a nap can offer a glimpse into a twilight nether world where gods play and dreams happen.?
?? Tom Hodgkinson, How to Be Idle
Wonderful quote...and spot on.?ÿ I am now aware of Tom Hodgkinson and his work.?ÿ There may yet be hope for the younger generation.
One should be warned however that naps are the "crack cocaine" of the golden years.?ÿ In my late fifties I found myself working more and more from home in the afternoon.?ÿ Snagging a short nap seemed so harmless and simple.
Then over time they grew longer.?ÿ By my mid-sixties they could last an hour or more.?ÿ I even muted all my telecommunication devices so I wouldn't be interrupted.?ÿ I am now a full time addict.
Now I schedule my days around my secret addiction to my soporific activity.?ÿ I fib to clients and family about my availability..."Nope, too busy.?ÿ Won't be able to make it out there this afternoon...probably tomorrow would be better" is my?ÿcommon saying.
Hello, my name is Paden and I'm a nap-aholic.... ??ÿ
I want to die while I'm napping like my grandfather did.
