I just love naps!
After a month of my break from working I have slipped into the habit of daily naps. Afternoon naps to be precise. At 3 a clock every single afternoon to be even more precise.
This Monday, my daily nap was messed with. The cleaner who normally comes by Monday mornings, had to reschedule for the afternoon this week. Hence no nap time. And seeing as the lady in my yoga class woke me up - it looked like my nap was cancelled and let's face it, that would not make me a happy bunny. Strangely people seem to struggle to sympathise with this story when I tell it.
I had actually saved the sleeping pots at the gym for a lunch power nap when I'm no longer a lady of leisure. But this was a time of need and the only way in which I would get my nap, was by getting into a one of these spaceships.
Because they do in fact look a bit like spaceships. Although I would have preferred the type of spaceships that covers your feet. It is a rather odd feeling lying there, napping, half egg, half human.
I can live with my feet sticking out. It would be worse if I had to sleep with my face visible, because believe me - I don't have a cute sleeping face suited for general exposure. We're talking mouth wide open and nostrils flaring. There's been more than one occasion of falling asleep on planes and waking up from my own snoring only to realised I have fallen asleep on the shoulder of the person next to me. With the drool stains to go with the full public sleeping experience.
The sleeping pods, unlike planes, worked a treat. The inside of the pod literally goes pitch black and quiet which makes you nod right off in spite of sleeping in a room full of strangers. Unlike the last time I slept in a room full of strangers, which was the Horrendous Hostel Happening of 2008. Not so surprisingly the first and last time I have stayed at a hostel.
And again, someone comes to wake me. What is the deal?! Why impose a 20 minute limit in the middle of the city - don't people have jobs to go to? I mean... The other people?
Tomorrow order will be restored and 3 PM will once more be nap time.
