the 'take a nap' manifesto (join the revolution!)

there's not enough napping anymore in society, and that's a major problem. we live in a world that's always on your back pressuring you to do more and get more accomplished. dig more holes! crunch more numbers! multitask! overtime! go the extra mile! and when you're totally tapped, exhausted, and ready to quit for the sake of your own sanity, go chug down one of them there energy drinks that the market is overflowing with at the moment. a whole section of your local corner store is dedicated to beverages to support your overworked, sleep deprived lifestyle.

and doing more always somehow seems to be the answer. can't pay the bills? get a second job! unforeseen medical expenses? work overtime! don't feel good about your status at the work place? spend every waking hour there busting your hump! and whatever you do, don't ever let your boss(es), teacher(s), superior(s), peers, and significant other(s) ever get the impression that your plate is full. always ask for more! you gotta be the most productive worker bee you can be for the queen of whatever hive you may be in at the moment. it might be work, school, home, etc..... bottom line:

sleep less! do more!

there's something not very comforting about this concept.

take the power back!! JOIN THE REVOLUTION!!! TAKE A NAP!!!

don't think a nap will do the trick? i DARE you to prove me wrong! i dare you to take a nap in the middle of the day and wake up and NOT feel good about it!

TAKE A NAP!! and go home on time, maybe even leave early! forget about the extra mile, get reacquainted with your bed.

some people say, 'i don't need to sleep, i'll sleep when i'm dead.' i say you'll be dead a lot sooner than you think if you don't sleep right. you need sleep. you and everyone else. no one is above this law! NO ONE!!

take a nap and take it easy!! you're in control of shit here!! don't let everyone else set your schedule for you. fuck 'em all over and take a nap.

for any soul who feels overworked, stressed out, or just plain ol' tired.... the fix is there! it's waiting for you!

i envision a future of napping humans. a way more relaxed, easy going humanity. change is possible. the future can be great. it all starts with you.

GO!!! TAKE A NAP... NOW!!!
