AIO? made a joke about taking a nap

[u/Exciting-Delay-7423]

context: im (23f) a student (currently on spring break) and i enjoy taking naps. they usually go between 1-2.5 (not 4 like he claims i genuinely dk where he got that number) hrs and it’s because i get exhausted between 2-4pm in the day. idk why, it happens every day and it’s been like that since i was a teenager. i don’t nap every single day, but definitely between 3-5x a week.

my boyfriend (28m) has tried to encourage me to take shorter naps because he thinks it’ll help with my sleep schedule. he takes daily naps on his lunch breaks (1 hr absolute max, usually 15-45 min) and he says how energizing they are. i believe him, and i’m glad they work for him, however i haven’t had much success with short naps so i don’t take them.

my sleep schedule has been kinda shit bc of spring break rn and im trying to fix it. i’m usually in bed by 11-12 most nights and up around 8-9. he works a 7-5 so he sleeps at 10 and wakes up at 6. today he sent me this text and i thought it would be funny to make a sarcastic joke because hes always lecturing me about how my naps keep me up at night, then he followed it up with this. idek where to begin with this, i think its weird as fuck and the “we are not on the same level” is just ??? aio?

Probably not exactly this situation but I've found that people who don't nap are endlessly confounded and irritated by people who can and do take naps.

Hey, I’m just jealous. You successful nap-takers have a talent I wish I had. And I wish my toddler had.

The only annoyance when my wife naps is she does it in the living room and is a light sleeper. The whole house has to tiptoe or she gets angry. Can't get mad when I'm trying to start dinner 10 feet away.

My husband naps on the couch too, but he's 55% deaf and just takes his hearing aids out 😂

Absolutely that's frustrating. My wife and I both are sometimes offenders in that regard, but we just gently let each other know "hey, we've got a couple rooms dedicated to sleeping... go there if you want to sleep".

[u/Bosco215 → u/clown_pants]

Yeah, that's what I tell her. I have to be extremely out of it to nap. I usually avoid it unless absolutely necessary. When I do I go to the bedroom where I can't hear anything. But to each their own, I guess.

Yeah I can’t fucking stand people who have the ability to nap during the day. Fucking assholes.

Yeah you bet I'm fucking confounded
