Change Your Life Without Getting Out of Bed
The Ultimate Nap Book
by SARK
Fireside Books (Simon & Schuster), 1999. 96 pages.
I’ve recently discovered SARK’s delightful books. They’re gift books, and they are works of art. She hand writes them with colorful rainbows of ink, with the pictures and the words expressing the exuberance.
This particular book is especially fun. I started to say that it’s in defense of naps, but I think it’s better to say that this book is in celebration of naps. There’s nothing defensive about her attitude toward taking naps! Instead, she explains how much wonderful good naps can bring into your life.
She gives reasons to nap, permission to nap, pleasures and benefits of napping, nap tips, nap quotes, and even describes fantasy naps and gives ideas for micronaps for parents. (I like this one: “Pile ALL the pillows on top of Daddy, and see how long it takes you!”
I finished reading this book on a day when I was scheduled to work 12:30 to 9:00. Usually, I try to get lots done on such mornings. That day, I did not have a “productive” morning, but I did have a very lovely one!
“Our lives are full of choices. You can choose to nap.” — SARK
