Last night, around 9:30, I could feel myself crashing. "Maybe I will sleep for 20/90 minutes1 and then get up and do more things". I said to myself.
Then I processed more. Wait. I'm done my words. I don't have anywhere to be tonight. The friend with groceries in my fridge can just lock the door behind them. The only thing stopping me from just going the fuck to sleep for the night is the weird potential that I will *maybe* get something done if I don't.
I slept from 10pm to 8:30am. I got up on my alarm without hitting snooze2. I took a shower and started a load of laundry and am eating breakfast while reading webcomics.
I feel *splendid!*
I hope you can find the self-care you need today too.

Unrelated to anything, today's SMBC is one that I would like to post in my future classroom, but can't.

MOOP!
1: These are the only acceptable times for naps. More than 20 minutes and you risk hitting deep sleep that you'll be groggy coming out of, less than 90 and you won't get a full sleep cycle.
2: This is one of my big failings and I'd like to be better about it. I read somewhere that the way to practice is to go into a dark room and set an alarm for five minutes and lie down and then get up when the alarm goes off, but I am a champion at falling asleep and all the good times to do that are times when I should be sleeping anyways.
