When people around me complain about being worn out, i cheerfully remind them that we're about the only critters that don't just fucking REST when we're TIRED.
Why the FUCK is it normal to down stimulants 'like an adult' instead of napping?
I'm narcoleptic, and I've been defending my need for sleep my whole life- but mostly, its me reminding people that I nap when my body feels fatigued, like every other mammal I'm aware of, and perhaps I'm not the unusual one.

Capitalism, that's why.
Yeah i had that realization when i lost my job and actually caught up on sleep- if i get at least nine hours of good sleep a night, all the time, and don't live in constant burnout, i have almost no symptoms.
I'm sick from trying to live up to their standards. I'm just a sleepy critter, not a broken person ffs.

Because I'm an ADULT.
NO NAP! NO NAP!
