Be a Pro Napper

Napping is something we start out doing as babies, resist as children, but return to as seasoned adults. Some folks still try to resist the call of the nap, while most of us embrace the joys of the nap.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Peace of Mind
  1. Step 1
     

    While some people require a quiet atmosphere for the nap, the professional napper can practice his/her art anywhere. The ability to block outside noise and influence is a gift. The pro napper needs nothing more than an undisturbed moment in time.

  2. Step 2
     

    You must have Peace beyond all Understanding to be a pro napper. This is what allows you to shut the system down at any time you desire. I have napped on the back of an Army truck as it traveled full bore down a tank trail, while my comrades bounced around, hanging on for dear life. I have slept in the dirt, using rocks for pillows. I have slept on a roof, and under houses as a plumber.

  3. Step 3
     

    Some of the more pleasant napping situations are on fluffy sofas after Thanksgiving dinner, and of course the hammock on Sunday afternoons. These are nice situations for the average napper but not essential to the pro. We pros get the same enjoyment out of all naps, and seek every opportunity to shut it down.

  4. Step 4
     

    Naps are great shared experiences, and if you're lucky enough to have a nappy wife or girlfriend, consider yourself blessed. My girlfriend is a pro napper, and she can nap at the drop of a yawn. We have shared many naps, and it has brought us closer than most couples will ever be. Those that nap together stay together. And on the flip side, if one naps while the other mows the yard, this can cause conflict. Napping should be a strong consideration in pre-marital counseling.

  5. Step 5

    Learn the art of the nap. Teach your loved ones, and especially your children to just let it go. Lay down somewhere unusual and go to sleep. You'll be amazed at the freedom you find ... ZZZzzzzz
