I do not nap.

If I ever do close my eyes during the day for a bit, I wake up grumpy and often with a headache.

I sleep at night — not during the day. When I stop to think about how many daytime naps I’ve likely had, I haven’t taken more than about a dozen since I was very young. Other people nap daily and wake up energized and ready to tackle the world.

I do not!

I’m kind of like an electric toy. I’m charged all day, doing a ton of ‘stuff’ — when I’m at home you can find me gardening, doing home repairs, in my workshop, hiking with my dog or doing some housework. I stay occupied and go pretty hard for most of the day. By the time evening rolls around I’m tired, I take out my batteries to recharge, and then I fall asleep.

The next day, I put my fully charged batteries back in and go hard again.

Yet, there are others in my family who if they could take a nap every day they would. I’m amazed at this ability.
