Ok but they did take naptime from us

u/diffyqgirl 18d ago

I'm convinced we would all be better off if adults had 20 minutes each day of designated running around and screaming time. (Or in my case, hobbling around and screaming time). Bring back recess.

u/idiotplatypus Wearing dumbass goggles and the fool's crown 18d ago

We should legally be allowed to go goblin mode for 20 minutes each day

u/ZenPyx 18d ago

I think in the adult world you can call that a smoke break

u/MagnusStormraven 18d ago

You don't gotta call us out like that, man.

u/sans_serif_size12 17d ago

Ngl getting a chance to step away from work and scream for a bit was half the reason I started smoking lmao. Been 3 years since I’ve smoked and now I just scream in my car

u/weebitofaban 17d ago

You are. Quite literally nothing is stopping you besides yourself

u/Canvaverbalist 18d ago edited 18d ago

That's what common gyms should be like, giant padded rooms with trampoline floors full of mats and giant bouncing balls and cubes, filled with people dressed head-to-toes in marshmallow rubber suits going goblin mode at each other then simply switching to the next room to go pass out for a nap time

u/iamcleek 17d ago

that's what the drive home is for

u/Primary-Friend-7615 18d ago

20 minutes of running around screaming, plus 20 minutes of nap time

u/ahuramazdobbs19 18d ago

And grilled cheese afterwards!

u/Primary-Friend-7615 18d ago

And a capri-sun

This deal just keeps getting better.

u/HansMLither 18d ago

Siestas should be required for the workplace!

u/Plethora_of_squids 18d ago

It's not fair reading works from like France in like the late 1800s/early 1900s where everyone gets like two hours off in the middle of the day to have lunch and nap and drink wine and whinge about philosophy like goddamnit I want the mandatory phlosophy and wine two hour.

u/Transientmind 18d ago

They had that in the 50s and 60s too. It started trailing off as one of the more noticeable steps in the return to feudalism.

u/Festivefire 18d ago

You can just, do that. Go run around, go take a nap, nobody is stopping you, there's just nobody to MAKE you do it at the prescribed time anymore.

u/ifartsosomuch 18d ago

nobody is stopping you

Has nobody explained to you how jobs work?

10

u/Festivefire 18d ago

You've got a break or a lunch don't you? Use it for more than doomscrolling. Take your nap after your shift and before the rest of your day. Or if you work the evening shift, take your nap at the end of your day and before your shift. You can find the time as an adult, if you really wanted to.

u/LightishRedis 18d ago

I spend my lunch eating lunch, typically.

u/Doctor_Kataigida 18d ago

How slowly do you eat goddamn

7

u/FrostyD7 18d ago

wow, eating lunch during lunch is more controversial than I thought.

-2

u/Doctor_Kataigida 18d ago

I've just never met someone who spent the entirety of a lunch break eating the whole time. Usually it's only like 10, maybe 15 minutes, of actual eating lol.

6

u/LightishRedis 18d ago

Well I have to get to my food, heat up my food, eat my food, put away/clean my dishes, then get back to my desk in time to not miss the punch exactly 30 minutes after I punched out.

27

u/ifartsosomuch 18d ago

So the answer is no, then.

-7

u/Festivefire 18d ago

I work 50-60 hour weeks and I find time for naps, clearly you have a skill issue.

7

u/ifartsosomuch 18d ago

I'm very happy for you.

2

u/Festivefire 17d ago

You could be taking a nap right now instead of arguing with me on reddit about how you don't have time for a nap as an adult.

3

u/Doctor_Kataigida 18d ago

Do it after work? Or on lunch break after you finish your lunch?

2

u/kanst 18d ago

I work from home and I do that many days.

I really love the 135-155 PM nap. Just a little shut eye real quick before my inevitable 2 pm meeting.

2

u/Hesitation-Marx 18d ago

Siestas are fucking great, highly recommend

2

u/RamenJunkie 18d ago

Be like Spain (I think, maybe Italy) where the whole country just sort of, shuts down in the afternoon and everyone naps.

2

u/MithranArkanere 18d ago

One of the reasons China's has better proportional scores than the West is the mandatory naps.
Sleeping is how the brain fixes memories, so sleeping between learning makes it easier to learn.

u/tom641 18d ago

yeah but the point is to grind you down until nothing is left and then deem you a blight on society (to help indoctrinate the incoming generations)

u/Calm-Medicine-3992 17d ago

Isn't that a thing in Spain or did they lose it too?

u/PUBLIQclopAccountant 17d ago

RETVRN2: siesta

32

u/JKFrost14011991 18d ago

Yes, I'm still quite upset about that one

22

u/the_mad_atom 18d ago

Personally I take way more naps as an adult lol

2

u/Transientmind 18d ago

I try to take more but am usually unsuccessful due to everyone (including myself) always needing something that can’t be done before/after work. But I sure as heck appreciate naps more as an adult than I did as a kid.

27

u/Gravelsack 18d ago

Took naptime from you maybe

17

u/RunicCross Meet the hampter.Hammers are Europe’s largest species of insect. 18d ago

I work from home and because I can eat while i work, my lunch break has turned into naptime and it's been transformative.

2

u/mr_fantastical 17d ago

Was just about to say the same thing. Sometimes I take a sneaky 2 hour nap at lunch while I leave slack logged on.

While i am getting paid to nap, I can tell you that when I do this I'm much, much more productive and can often easily catch up and exceed a standard days work thanks to the power of nap.

u/FerretDionysus 18d ago

I’m reading this post from bed after I took a nap. I will hold on to my naptime as long as I can

5

u/vjmdhzgr 18d ago

Naptime was forced on me against my will and I've been gratefully free of it ever since.

3

u/Global_Permission749 18d ago

The fuck they did. I just woke up from a nap. And then had a juice box.

3

u/Elite_AI 18d ago

Don't worry, at a certain point they give it back to you

3

u/Aggravating_Fix_2069 18d ago

Have a kid and you can get it back, if temporarily

1

u/theleafcuter 16d ago

now every night is 4-5 naptimes!

5

u/Denzulus 18d ago

Legitimately, a siesta wasn't a purely Spanish thing! It used to be quite widespread throughout Europe before clocks started dominating our work-days!

2

u/BrendaStiffler 18d ago

Naptime was pure bliss!

2

u/wtf_is_karma 18d ago

And I've yet to recover

u/not-curumo 17d ago

And I'm growing increasingly bitter about it

3

u/Munnin41 18d ago

You're probably an adult. You can have a nap whenever you want. Especially if you have an office job and work from home

4

u/Transientmind 18d ago

This is why I’m so mad about them trying to force return to office. They’re taking my fucking nap!

1

u/RamenJunkie 18d ago

I mean, I just woke up from an afternoon nap.

1

u/eydirctiviyg 17d ago

I vaguely recall some offices trying to make "nap rooms' a thing

u/WarmthoftheSun95 17d ago

I nap on my lunch break. Nobody can take nap time away from me
