naps

what constitutes as a nap? is there a particular time frame? all week i've been grumpy and physically and emotionally drained. so i went to breakfast this morning with my friend and we had some mimosas and went over wedding details. as we're talking, i felt myself actually feeling drunk.

oh, by the way, breakfast was at 9am and i had to be at work by 11am. it, obviously, wasn't my intention to go to work drunk, but i've been so tired and not eating well, if at all, that my body just soaked up the liquor and started to knock me out. so, i called out from the restaurant. as Sarah so wisely pointed out, i couldn't even fake it today. there are days where you can force yourself through; just suck it up and push on. today was not that day. anyway, i got home around 11:30am or 12pm. by 1:30pm, i was in bed passed the fuck out. i didn't wake up until 5:30 this evening. i'm still pretty tired, but i definitely feel better.

all of that being said, is a nap a matter of sleep placement in the day? or is it the length of sleep time? does 1:30-5:30pm constitute a nap or did i just fall asleep in the middle of the day? if you're up all night, can you nap from 2-3:30 in the morning? i don't know, but i sure feel better. i was actually able to eat tonight and carry on coherent conversations.

ah, a sick day well spent.
