public slumber

Naps are incredible. I try not to rely on them as much as I used to... but the occasional power-nap can really do the job and get me through the day. The key element is where. I'm pretty selective with my nap locations. My bed, a couch, in the car on a trip, etc... but rarely can I just full-on crash and take a nap in public. It's gotta be a special circumstance (or a really nice day outside in a quiet peaceful meadow or under a tree). That's not the case for these 2 guys.

Subject A: the Exhausted Student

The classic case of probably staying up way too late playing Call of Duty, and/or excessive Monster energy drinks. Old Testament Survey proved too much for his attention-span and awakeness. I regret not getting video, because he was totally snoring like a champ. (Side note: he jolted awake shortly after and began furiously taking notes, trying to play it all off)

Subject B: the Bookstore-Couch Sleeper

The typical old-guy-in-a-bookstore. Usually you'll see a book in hand, or a pile of magazines on the lap... but not this guy. He had no intention of convincing himself or anyone else that he was there for the reading. It's a safe bet to say his wife was either shopping around in the store, or maybe even next door looking at some exciting linens and decorative materials. Nap strong, old guy. Nap strong.

 

What's your favorite place/reason to nap? Or any good stories or pictures of similar people caught in the act of public slumber?

Stay tuned... this is post 199, so you know what that means.... the big 2-0-0 is coming soon. Tomorrow? Wednesday? Next month?? Time will tell....
