Bad Days Lead to More Naps (For Me) (13)

Today has not been a good day for a handful of reasons.  With that being said, I really felt like I needed to take a nap earlier, and so I did (or at least tried).  I didn't ever end up falling asleep, but just laying down and relaxing allowed me to sort of rejuvenate myself before taking on the rest of the day.  Still thinking about the question that was asked on the first day of class, I'm realizing more and more that sleep, or even just resting in general is extremely important in my everyday life.  I've become more aware now of the nights that I don't get enough sleep and how that has a negative effect on me the next day, as well as my need to escape from myself and other stressful events that have happened during the day.  My desire for good sleep has increased as well.  Of course, as a college student I won't always have the time to get enough sleep, and quite frankly sometimes I choose to not get enough sleep in order to maintain a social life.  But whenever that happens, I always make a point to either nap in an effort to avoid a bad day, or go to bed earlier the next night to make up for the sleep debt I've accumulated.
