My blog is working again! That is good since after today's 2 1/2 coma nap I will probably be up for quite a bit... Much has been said (many unnice things...sniff sniff) about Sarah's propensity to sleep and lest my reading public think it ALL stems from laziness I will explain the different types of Sarah sleep....

The coma nap - A rare type of nap that most frequently occurs while driving or at work. Thought (by me) to be related to monthly female hormonal changes and low level motion sickness caused by driving. The nap manifests itself by an almost irresistible urge to flop my head down and clunk to sleep immediately. The coma nap is distinguished from the normal nap by the lack of need for a pillow over my head and the speed at which I fall asleep. I awake feeling somewhat refreshed after the coma nap and it does not interfere with my nighttime sleep as much as a totally unnecessary nap.

The "too painful to remain awake nap" - acute variety - I probably did not invent this... Nap taken in response to the bad or sad events of life. Nap theories - 1. Mental pain lasts for a limited time and sleeping might count for some of the time, thereby lessening total amount of pain suffered. 2. A nap is temporary suicide. Risks - 1. You will awake feeling chipper and then experience shock anew upon remembering the painful event. 2. If you sleep prematurely, you might not be able to sleep later when the pain is even worse.

Ooh, sleepy now... Must have correctly identified this afternoon's nap as a coma nap! More sleep news later! I still have quite a few to go... The sensual thrill nap (sadly extremely rare), the "too painful to remain awake nap" - low grade variety, the slug nap, the celebratory nap, etc.
