My youngest peep is opposed to taking a nap. Ever. My oldest however will fall asleep any chance she gets. She has an amazing skill to be able to sleep soundly for 20 minutes and then be good to go. She, of course, rarely limits herself to 20 minutes, and it doesn't seem to affect falling asleep at night. She goes to seminary. She has crazy hours for a teen.
I love the opportunity for a nap, especially this time of the year when my mind is in overdrive, and my body thinks it is cool to wake up before 4 am. "Don't think. Don't think." Many days I am not successful at falling back to sleep, and my mind begins to race with thoughts.
I am thankful for rest. It is a good thing.
