Description
This fun little book has:Â
* a Napa Sutra (a list of about 100 popular napping styles; many Napists take performing every style in the Napa Sutra as a personal challenge . . .)
Some examples of napping styles are:
* The Dalai NapaÂ
* Clues to identifying a Napist among your family and friendsÂ
For instance, Using euphemisms - for the benefit of those with weak Nap-fu - to explain naps.Â
Example: "No, Dear, my sweet, delicate prairie flower. Despite appearances I am NOT about to nap: I am actively engaged in a'planning session'. I soon shall be in a period of such intense meditation, such intense intellectual activity that all of my highly-focused and productive energy will be concentrated in my brain thereby rendering my body motionless, almost paralyzed. So, stand clear!  Don't bother me; go away."Â
* Intro to groups such as:Â
Veni, vedi, dormi . . . ("I came, I saw, I napped.")
* a Napa Sutra (a list of about 100 popular napping styles; many Napists take performing every style in the Napa Sutra as a personal challenge . . .)
Some examples of napping styles are:
- No-I-Wasn't-Sleeping-Again-I-Was-Just-Very-Very-Deep-in-Thought-About-How-Very-Wonderful-You-Are-My-Dear
- Borg (When resistance is futile.)
- YOU-Look-Tired-So-I'll-Just-Recline-Here-So-YOU-Can-Have-Some-Quiet-Time-So-YOU-Can-Rest (This nap style is not for beginners.  It has a high degree of difficulty and is rarely pulled off completely successfully.)
- Seeking-Solutions-Through-My-Subconscious (Commonly referred to as a SSTMS Nap.)Â
- Hey-I-Was-Watching-That (a.k.a. TV Naps)
- Gravity Well (When you encounter a sudden and very localized spike in the power of gravity and you . . . just . . . can't . . . stay . . . vertical. (Note: Relative to the general population, skilled Napists tend to be more in tune with the universe and its mysterious cosmic forces, so nearly all non-nappers simply cannot sense the "hole" in the gravity and meet claims of Gravity-Well Abductions with quite a bit of skepticism.)
- Nap-Fu
- Napfucious
- N'Apseop's Fables
- Napist Adages and Aphorisms
* The Dalai NapaÂ
