sleeping

That familiar feeling when the tiredness hits, your eyes start closing, and there's nothing you can do to fight it. We've all been there — most likely in the middle of a work meeting — and the struggle is real. If only we could take a quick ten-minute power nap to give us that energy booster necessary to see us through the rest of the day. But alas, napping is frowned upon in the workplace, and so coffee will have to suffice. But one of the perks of being a toddler includes being able to nap whenever the moment calls for it, and these kids show us how strong the force is! Whether you're lying in a pile of lego (ouch) or sitting on the toilet, once the sleepy's hit, there's nothing you can do about it.

Part of being an adult means you're always tired. Literally, from the second you open your eyes in the morning until you finally get into bed at night, all you want to do is take a nap. Except when you finally do settle down for the night, you inevitably stay up on your phone for three hours, and then you're exhausted the next day again. It's a vicious cycle of perpetual exhaustion. If this sounds familiar, then these tweets about being tired all the damn time will be very relatable and make you feel less alone in your journey of exhaustion that is adulthood. Now, go and take a nap; you deserve one!

It's all fun and games until you've suddenly aged and lost everything that made your childhood a happy place. Sorry to be such a downer this early in the week, but it's true. A Redditor started a thread about things we didn't understand as kids, but have come to deeply understand as adults. In case these things have never crossed your mind, here are some hard-to-swallow pills about growing up that we'd rather not dwell on. 

From the moment we wake up in the morning, there's nothing we'd love more than to go back to dreamland. Alas, there's work to do, bills to pay, and responsibilities to fulfill. Once we get all that done, we can finally get back to bed... except there's one problem. When it's finally time to sleep, our brain fights us on it! Stop fighting it, and just let us have what our body desperately needs. A Redditor started a thread about how they spend their time when they're trying to fall asleep, and the responses range from random to hilarious. Scroll down for the goods as you try to fall asleep yourself. 

It's no secret that being an adult is hard. But it's important to remember the little things in life that make it worth living, whether it be a family road trip, a surreal sunrise, or a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter day. A Redditor started an awesome thread about the most pleasant human experiences that are unrelated to sex or drugs, and the responses range from hilarious to wholesome. Check 'em out below, and let us know if the people of Reddit missed integral and awesome experiences in the comments. 

We buy so much garbage we don't even need, even though we're convinced it's essential. Then again, it's 2021, and women deserve to be living their best life. Certain products have become integral to doing just that. A Redditor started a thread to ask fellow women about items they purchased that significantly improved their lives for the better, and they're pretty mundane, ranging from an electric toothbrush to IKEA furniture to Spotify Premium. It's the little things in life, huh? Here's a list of simple things that could surprisingly make your life. What would you add to the list? Let us know in the comments. 

Whether you're a sweet, single lady trying to flirt and finesse her way into a relationship, or parents trying not to lose their sh*t over their annoying yet adorable kids, life can get pretty darn hectic. This is why some fire life hacks could definitely come in handy - desperate times call for desperate measures. The people of Twitter don't take themselves too seriously, so they've been sharing funny life hacks lately, which we've obviously documented. Would you do any of the life hacks listed below? 

Life often gets challenging, so it would be great to know what other people in the world are doing to make it less complicated that it has to be (other than turning to drinking and partying, which are equally as great). Instead of heading to the bar to get advice from that stereotypical insightful bartender that seems to be in every movie, you can turn to Twitter instead for the best and funniest lifehacks. On this platform, people aren't shy when it comes to giving advice. By the time you finish this short list, you'll surely be ready to live your best life. 

We always desperately look forward to the weekend, which represents the light at the end of the tunnel of a long, hard week. But what exactly are we all looking forward to? Based on the weekend plans being shared on Twitter, we're all spending it doing both similar and different things. Whether we're hanging out with the fam, partying with friends, becoming couch potatoes, stuffing our faces with carbs, sleeping, and ghosting everyone we know, the weekend is always a jolly good time. Scroll down to discover the weekend plans of the Twitter-sphere this week. 

We're always hustling and bustling on a daily basis. Of course, there's nothing better than a delicious nap to make up for the lost time. God knows how desperately we need it. Sleep is a basic need, and waking up refreshed to take on the rest of the day is an amazing feeling. Of course, we've collected the best memes that the sleep-deprived people of the world can totally relate to. Sweet dreams y'all! 

Ever had a night that you needed a friend to fill in for you? Hey, it happens to the best of us. Sometimes you say, "Sure, I'll mix rum and vodka" and then you wake up the next day with a full face of makeup still on. Honestly, that's pretty normal. 

What can be a little more extreme is waking up in a stranger's bed the next morning. But there are a million reasons/decisions that could lead to that point. Not all stranger sleepovers are made equal, and soon you'll understand why.

Nobody can control their dreams, and it can be really frustrating sometimes, like when you're trying to run away from a monster and you are making no progress. Ugh, it's annoying just thinking about it. Sometimes dreams can be nice though, even pleasurable. Every so often you realize your true feelings for someone because they popped up in your REM. But sometimes you have an intimate dream that is just messed up. It happens to everyone, nothing to be ashamed of. Just... remember it's only a dream, right?

If you've ever slept next to someone who talks in their sleep, you'll know how utterly terrifying (but also hilarious) it can be. Seeing someone suddenly sit up straight in a zombie-like trance, eyes open, and utter total nonsense is not only terrifying but can be annoying, especially if it's woken you up. But all-in-all, it's more funny, than anything else, and these people are proving that by sharing the funniest things they've heard other people say in their sleep.

People who have not slept with a member of the opposite sex will always wonder what it's like. Whether it's because they haven't managed to get lucky yet, they swing the other way, or they choose to live a life of abstinence, it will forever remain a mystery. The only way to somewhat understand what it's like is to ask people who have had the experience, which is precisely what one TikToker did.

Marissa Wilkes created a video on TikTok, explaining, "As a woman loving woman who has never been with a guy, I'm curious. Ladies, what is it like to sleep with a guy? Especially the ladies that also like the ladies that have been with men. Please, be brutally, brutally honest." Let's just say, her followers did not disappoint. They brutally roasted men, coming up with analogies that are harsh enough to make most men crawl into their man caves and never come out again. Scroll through and read the hilarious reviews left by these unsatisfied ladies left.

We all know that getting enough sleep is crucial for living a productive life. We grow up being told to get eight hours of sleep so that we can have an effective and productive day ahead, but there is a lot more to it than that. Someone has listed all of the negative health effects caused by lack of sleep and they are, quite frankly, alarming. I know that I certainly don't get anywhere near enough sleep, but after reading this Twitter thread, things are changing as of tonight! Scroll down and educate yourselves on why sleep is so important.

Maybe he was just getting a bit of rest before Jennifer Lopez brings the energy at half time...Anyway, it's probably the most expansive nap in history and Twitter had a lot to say about it.
