Official Instruction on Taking a Sideways Nap

In order to take a sideways nap one stretches sideways across the bed. You cannot get underneath the covers, but have to lay on top of them and then proceed to wrap them around yourself like a burrito or a light but satisfying human crepe. Then sleep. As far as naps go, a sideways nap is always more successful than a couch or the normal bedtime position (which should be reserved for just that, bedtime). It is particularly lovely to have a warm cat in a knee or elbow pit, but not necessary for successful orchestration of the nap itself.




Erma, of course, is always encouraging these types of things.
