7 rules on how to take a nap.

What fascinated me about this article was the first part:

The first thing you should know is, feeling sleepy in the afternoon is normal. It doesn’t mean you had a big lunch, or that you’re depressed, or you’re not getting enough exercise. That’s just how animals’ cycles work — every 24 hours, we have two periods of intense sleepiness. One is typically in the wee hours of the night, from about 2am to 4am, and the other is around 10 hours later, between 1pm and 3pm. If you’re a night owl and wake up later in the morning, that afternoon sleepiness may come later; if you’re an early bird, it may come earlier. But it happens to everyone; we’re physiologically hardwired to nap.

Ever since high school I have always gotten extremely tired in the afternoon and I know part of it has to do with lunch because it is my first meal of the day, but I wasn't aware of the two sleepy cycles in a 24 hour period. My mother, Mike and Tyme always joke about my nap taking ability and now I have scientific support backing up why it must be done. I'm just wired that way.

It's all you you weirdos that don't take naps that I should be laughing at!
