BEST OF THE BEST:
Places to nap

Do you find yourself longing for the days of your
youth, when the teacher
announced those blessed words, “Ok, put away your glue sticks,
it’s
naptime!” While we groaned at the thought of afternoons on the
tire swing
cut short to ball up on a carpet square, we’d sacrifice a month’s
worth
of bus passes to have naptime back.
The Union
You see them slumped on chairs. Yyou see them sprawled out on couches.
They’re the students who aren’t afraid to conk out in public.
If
there’s a way to curl up into the fetal position on two cushions
and a
wooden armrest, they’ll find it. The Women’s Study Lounge
features
couches as well for ladies who are looking for a quieter and more hushed
location to doze.
A Park Bench
A little fresh air does the body good. The squirrels do it, the ducks
do it,
why not saw a few logs under a nice willow tree? If you’re a fan
of
studying outside, you’ll benefit from this nature nap. Of course,
dormancy in such a vulnerable post does put your personal effects in
danger of being
stolen. Just remember when you nod off to hold your iPod close as to
not
wake up groggy to find you’ve been robbed.
The Library
Study break? After hours poring over key objectives and four chapters
of
anatomy terms, give yourself a breather. The first floor of the library
may
seem like the center of activity, but it also provides ample lounging
areas.
Grab your notebook and exam review so it looks like you’re actually
exerting some sort of effort, and master the art of REM.
*Class?
We’ve all been there -- the stare as the words on the blackboard
start to
blur, the head bob, the embarrassing moment when your elbow slips off
the
desk… Don’t be alarmed, all the kids staring at you when
the professor
is standing two inches away from your face clearing his throat only
WISH
they could have been sleeping, too. A little drool on the desk never
hurt
anyone…
*SpartanEdge does not endorse sleeping in class. Get a good eight hours
of
sleep every night, and you won’t have to explain why you were
just “resting your eyes” in your ISS lab.
