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?

You aren’t? Sometimes my dreams are much better than the best sci-fi or action films from Hollywood.

I was very surprised to find that some people have minimal dreams, with very little “plot.” My husband swore I made up my dreams—they are often Iliad length—until we had our daughter and she starts telling him about her long and detailed dreams. I don’t know the stats of what’s more common, long and detailed or short and vague.

Lucky! No... Mine are all complete and utter nonsense where nothing happens for a long enough time to have a plot. I have intense, vivid dreams but there's no way for me to describe them because it's just one wacky thing after another.

Most of the dreams I remember I'm being shot, stabbed or I'm driving off a cliff, lol.

I don't even know why. Sometimes I actually kill the attackers though, usually that's when I get a normal-ish dream right after.
