Can there be anything more productive than a noon time catnap?
Sleeping 8 hours a night is OK by me, if you can get more than four straight hours that is, but that 15 minutes at midday is the best sleep off the day.
Whether this is because we are made to sleep in the middle of the day or whether I am just too old to continue after lunch I know not. However, hot countries tend to close down between noon and three, in Spain football begins at nine in the evening when the cool of the day arrives, not at midday as is more suitable in Scotland. Does the weather then determine our sleep patterns? Certainly, the light mornings have me up by five am some days. Winter makes this more unacceptable. Quite how they cope in Sweden I fail to comprehend.
Male lions sleep for around fourteen hours a day, only getting up to take the biggest portion of whatever the wife has brought in, and then returning to sleep it off. Cats must be very close to this also. Could it be, I am becoming a cat?
