Here’s What Life Would Look Like If You Actually Got Enough Sleep
It's National Napping Day and since we know you won't get a chance to sleep it off, we're going to distract you from your exhaustion for a few minutes.
National Napping Day is Mar. 9––yep, it’s a thing. In honor of the one universal truth for all parents that we will never sleep the same again, we’ve rounded up six ways we imagine life would be different if we got enough sleep. We don’t actually know, though, because we haven’t slept in seven years. Still, we can dream, right?
1. Exercise
Fantasy: After eight hours of rest, you’re ready to take on the world. Perhaps, a marathon!
Fantasy: You are alert and productive, full of snappy ideas and witty retort. And you look amazing (i.e. your clothing doesn’t have stains and you brushed your hair). Because you are well-rested.
Reality: Oh, look what happened while you were napping (by napping we mean answering work emails, vacuuming the living room and making a snack). See, that’s why you can’t nap.
