As I’ve mentioned before, I frequently stay up at night until 1:00 in the morning. Normally, I’m awake again at 8:00 when Michelle takes a shower before heading to work. That gives me 7 hours of sleep, which isn’t enough for me. (My natural sleep cycle is about 9-10 hours – a bit more than most people.)

Yesterday I had a nap in the afternoon. When I woke up I felt much better than I had in a while – more alert and full of energy. I think I may need to do this more often. I feel guilty about taking naps because I’m at home all day, and I’m not working hard at a job like other people I know. So, saying that I need a nap seems a little bit strange. But the proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
