existential game 13: anachronistic napping

Take a nap in the middle of the day, preferably late afternoon. When you get up, act as if it's the beginning of your day. Go to the front porch in search of the paper (of course, your housemate brought it in hours ago). Have some granola. Make and drink your coffee. Download your email. Then, when it's dark, go outside with sunglasses on and try to sunbathe.

This game will be more enjoyable for you than for others, particularly if you're the sort who's bubbly when you wake up and the others are just coming home from work, and especially if you ask people to get out of your light 'cause, hey, you're trying to get a tan here!

The reward of this game is that you trick your body into staying up even later, and you can get by on even less sleep!
