Sleeping away the [COLD]

I've slept a lot these past few days and for a couple of reasons.  First off, I was struck with the common cold for the first time this winter.  I though that I was going to be able to make it out clean this year but that definitely didn't happen.  And as we all know, sleeping helps to speed the recovery process so I took as many naps as my schedule would allow.  With the help of a couple shots of Nyquil, I slept great at night and still woke up for my classes!

The other reason that I slept a lot these past few days is because the weather snapped back into winter mode.  This caused me to once again enter hiberation and refuse to leave to comfort of my warm bed.
Now that I'm feeling normal again, it's back to the daily grind!
Maybe I'll have time for a quick snooze tomorrow....
happy napping! 

Little did I know....that there are businesses that encourage their workers to sleep on the job!
Sleep is an important part of productivity.  Companies such as Ben and Jerrys, Continental and Nike are all starting to offer their employees a chance to take a power nap on the job.  This article from Businessweek talks about all of these and also gives a few tips for a successful nap.

Happy Napping!

A little bit about myself

Since I failed to tell you about myself in my first post, I'll have to catch you all up.  I'm a junior in college majoring in communication studies with a minor in PR.  I have absolutely no idea what i want to do with my life.  For now, I'm interning at WVIZ./PBS/ideastream and I really like it.  It's not what i expected but I'm learning a lot about radio, tv, programming, and promotion.
In my free time I enjoy exercising, napping, eating, and hanging out with friends and my family. 
After a ski trip to Holiday Valley this past weekend, I woke up on Sunday morning feeling like I got run over by a snow plow.  I was so sore and had to drag myself out of bed to get to church.  Later that day, I took one of my amazing naps.  I layed down on my bed and my body melted into the mattress.  I'm pretty sure I didn't move for the entire 2 hours because I woke up in the same position.  I woke up feeling refreshed mentally! Unfortunately my body still felt like an 80 year old man...
Oh well!
Happy Napping!  

Where it all began...

When I told my mom that I was creating a blog about napping, she wasn't surprised.  She reminded me that when I was a baby she had to wake me up to feed me.  I always knew I was the PERFECT baby...
Since then I've always been a pro when it comes to sleeping in general.  Sneaking in a quick 20 min power nap can make my day so much better!
happy napping!
