Jennifer Eyre White's The Practical Napper: Tips, Facts, and Quotes for the Avidly Recumbent is the perfect bedside (or couchside) read for the recumbently inclined. It's the first book to show that napping is, in many ways, a noble pursuit: It's good for you, it's good for the environment, and it's good for world peace. Consider the following while you're catching your next 40 winks:* Napping is good for the environment. When you're napping, you're not:
a) Burning fossil fuels
b) Procreating, thus increasing the pitter-patter of little carbon footprints
c) Engaging in slash-and-burn agriculture.
* Napping during sex is sometimes perceived as a lack of interest. Be careful with that.
* Advice for parents with newborns: nap when the baby naps. Unless, of course, you have other kids, in which case you'll need to tie them up in the back yard first.
