Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 01, 2022

Dozing off is not the same as a good power nap. You need to get to R.E.M. stage. Not the band, anticipating the snark. :)

The only thing worse than the nod nap is getting up to go take a nap and then being unable to go to sleep.

A guy I used to work with at the local TV station cracked up the entire news crew one night years ago. During a commercial break he was telling us over the headset, “I was editing a sports promo today, and the next thing I knew, I woke up with my head lying on the keyboard. I don’t know what my problem is.” Trying to be helpful, I asked, “Narcolepsy?” He didn’t miss a beat. “No, I just fall asleep a lot!” :-D

Today’s strip is just a tsetse bit off today.

I kind of like the short dozing off thing. But those two hour naps make me feel like hell.

I know how he feels…it wasn’t a nap

It’s only a nap if you’ve planned it.

I read in bed as the wife is watching tv at bedtime. Many a time, I rest my eyes, but I’m not sleeping….

Naps are intentional, falling asleep is accidental (during daylight anyway).

A nap is a snooze…being asleep is snoozing?

I tell myself that, too. My wife doesn’t believe it, either.

Happens to me at least once a day. Being retired mean no schedule. I can do whatever I want, get up late, go to sleep late, whatever.

An every day event for me…

It’s a nap if you fall asleep and it’s not bedtime.

“… naps are on purpose. "

I’m with David on this one

And like men of my age he’s headed right for the bathroom.

I don’t take a nap in my recliner every day at about the same time, for about 45 minutes.

I know that.

Dozing off in church is not napping unless you’re horizontal. Or as we joke in my church, if we laid down end-to-end all the older guys who doze off each Sunday, they’d be a lot more comfortable!

A good one for the Pluggers comic panel.
