Shower Thoughts Jan 22nd, 2025: Sleep
I woke up this morning, and for whatever reason really thought about sleeping. It’s a pretty wild concept, when you think about it. Basically, you’re willingly going unconscious for hours at a time. Sometimes even desperately hoping to slip into that sweet lack of consciousness, and getting frustrated when you don’t. And it’s something that is completely necessary – it can be extremely unhealthy both physically and mentally to not get that required sleep. And then I went even further and thought about napping, and how wild a concept that is. It’s the middle of the day, but you know what? I’m not feeling being cognitive right now, so I’m just going to shut my body down and let my subconscious take over. In fact, it’ll make me feel better. It’s like the human equivalent of “turn it off and turn it back on again.” Thinking about it is probably going to keep me from having my daily nap this afternoon.
