most unsatisfying

nothing is better than a nap. you know, the kind where you wake up with drool on your cheek because you were sleeping so deeply. there's something indulgent, and uniquely refreshing about a nap, stolen in the middle of the day.

on the other hand, there is nothing worse than when you really really want to nap, but you can't. your eyes are droopy, you're suffering from food-coma, so you snuggle into your bed, anticipating a delicious sleep. but the buzzing in your head won't go away. sleep begins to settle, but like a defective sneeze, the sweet release into dreamland that you're seeking never quite comes to fruition. so you're left, like a refrigerator whose light won't go off when the doors closed, hovering just beyond the realm of refreshment.

finally, you give up, cranky and tired as ever. only now, your hair is all messed up.

agonizing! i empathize. (with both the "nap that will not arrive," and "the bad hair for nothing")
