I wish i could just turn off on command.

This Dad needs a CPAP so he can get a real 8 hours. Not needing naps during the day is life-changing.

Is that a sock, or does that dude's leg look really nasty?

I wish I could partake in nap culture, but I always wake up feeling like I've been ripped from the goddamn afterlife. Always worse than before. My wife and I just spent two grueling sleepless nights in the postpartum ward, and after returning home today she encouraged me to have a 1-hour nap. I obliged and woke up so fucking brain-sick out of sorts that I could barely interact with my surroundings for the first 30 minutes.

I had a nursing friend of mine do this when she went to bed at night. We used to stay at her place often years ago. She'd reserve us a room in her house, nice place, great bed, very, very comfortable. Then she'd go to her bedroom, get ready for bed, night gown, wash up .... then go to the living room, lie down on the floor in the most uncomfortable posture and go to sleep for an hour or two, change positions, do it again and again. The living room had more open space for her to sprawl around in all kinds of positions.

She had damaged her spine and had a herniated disk which caused her terrible problems .... it was neither serious enough to be treated with surgery nor healthy enough for her to feel comfortable any more. She had tried water beds, posturepedic beds, memory foams, pillows, hanging platforms, various drugs and nothing worked .... except for lying on a flat hard floor for a few hours.

The first few time I saw her when I got up in the night to go to the bathroom, I saw here like this and thought something terrible had happened.

You're winning at life when you really stopped giving a fuck and just do whatever ^^

I think his foot is falling off. Or it already did and has been crudely stitched back onto his leg.

No worries, I have relatives with alcoholism too

I think this is mild narcolepsy lol

The "sleep will win"?

If you're having trouble sleeping, I suggest retiring. Retiring does wonders for being able to sleep.

What the fuck is going on with his leg?

I've done this many times. My bf hates seeing me sleeping on the dirty floor, but if I get in bed, I'll be too comfortable and sleep for much longer than I want.

I kind of used to do this, but it was largely due to chronic deprivation. Working 2 full time jobs and apl that

Undiagnosed narcolepsy?

I think he's breaking some etiquette rules, but good for him.

Narcolepsy?

based.

I'm very envious i didn't think of this myself.

I do the same thing. Napping on the ground counterintuitively helps when I have a stiff back. I wake up and the tension is gone. At family gatherings I prefer the couch though.

As someone with narcolepsy, this very much sounds like narcolepsy. I also have a cpap so I use an alarm for my naps and keep them to 45 minutes.

What's going on with the skin on his ankle, man? That looks burned.

Oh.. that’s exactly what I do, for exactly the same reasons.

It’s good to see that I’m not alone.

I've been doing this for ages. I finally just started setting an alarm on my smartwatch and ran through a bunch of time trials to see what works.

I can nap somewhere comfy as long as I follow these rules:

If I just can't keep my eyes open or I have a food coma, 15m

If I know I'm sleep deprived, and all I have is lunchtime 45m

If I have a little more time to spare and i'm just dragging, 90m

I've tried 5m increments on either side of those numbers and found I could just wake up at 15,45 and 90 with no problem. At 30m or 60m, I appear to cancel the alarm but fall back asleep.

But I need to pass out right away. If it's going to take me 10m to get to sleep, I need to adjust for that.

My old man will be like "fuck it, sleep take me now!" and will take a six hour nap on a metal stool.
