Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 06, 2020

What a difference 60 years makes. I love naps.

so ask for railing on your bed or lay extra pillows on the floor, Lucy

No wonder she is so crabby, lack of sleep!

Babies take naps, young children take naps, and people Lucy’s age (about 70) take naps, so why don’t older children, young adults and middle aged people take naps?

I can’t nap. For some reason, I can’t fall asleep during the day. Even as a child. I remember being about 9 and wanting to stay up to watch something special (I think it was “West Side Story”). My mother told me I could if I took a nap. I went to my room, turned off the night, got into bed…and just stayed there for about 2 hours, wide awake. I honestly DID try; my mom let me stay up. Heck, even if I’m sick with a high temperature, I can’t nap.

Strap ‘er down, Mrs. Van Pelt. We’ll ALL be happier.

Naps are wasted on the young.

Never could nap, always went into a full sleep cycle.

1950 at a 2 month camp in East Waterford Maine, naps were for the counselors. I had just gone into a light doze while my cabin’s 8 kids were talking. One was from Massachusetts, & had a wonderful New England accent. He yelled: “Quiet, Gawdy is Sleepin”. Made Banjo Gordy laugh, & my nap was ovah!

I love naps. In fact, I’m napping as I type this … ZZZZZZZ

That would certainly explain it.

This explains so much

When I was a child I thought nap time was a punishment, now I think nap time as more of a reward.

I can relate to that.

I never truly appreciated naps until I arrived at college. Since then, I never looked back …
