Naps are tricky, nobody really understands them yet some of us simply cannot live without them. Here are 10 thoughts only people who love to nap will understand.

You always miss your nap time
Nap times are mostly inconveniently placed in the afternoon, where all sort of shit happening certainly will disrupt it. On days where we are forced to skip the nap, we honestly feel like dying. No amount of coffee can fix it.

You never know when you’ll wake up
Napping is tricky, you never know when you’ll be opening your eyes again after you close them. 20 minutes? 3 hours? 10 years? You just have to leave it to  the sentient beings living in the clouds.

Power naps are just fairy tales
No such thing exists. Nobody has actually woken up feeling energized for a productive day ahead. It’s more like Dracula waking up for the first time in a thousand years. Every single joint in the body feels like it has glue in it. You wake up from the nap feeling even more tired and lethargic than before, then you’re like, the whole point of this nap was to be less tired. And then you just go back to sleep.

Missing out on entire days
When you hit the bed, the sun was just setting. But when you wake up to sunlight on your face, you know you screwed up and you know everything you had planned to do in the night before is now gone.

Feeling like you had a coma
Over 30 minutes and you wake up in disarray, and you need to think real hard regarding where you are, what is your name, and checking your phone to see what year it is. You’re convinced that you died sometime during the nap and has been to the other side before being abruptly sent back.

Struggling to fit nap times into your schedule
Like how gym rats struggle to fit workouts in, or housewives trying to fit cooking in, fitting naps in your daily schedule is a huge struggle.

You sleep everywhere
As you grow older you start to get busier and having naps become really tough, until you figured out the secret of sleeping while sitting on buses, standing on trains, waiting for food; basically you go into screensaver mode automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

The envy for pets is real
They just have to look cute and sleep. Nothing sounds better than that. Hopefully in your next life you can be a cat, or a dog, or a panda.

Sleep becomes your motivation to get out of bed
Counting down the hours to when you can be back in bed is the only thing that can get you out of bed in the morning.
