Why naps deserve a gold medal

Pregnancy naps are not just naps. They are elite-level, power-charging, strategically-timed siestas that should come with sponsorships and slow-motion replays. If sleep were an Olympic sport, third-trimester me would be on the podium with tears and snacks.

Event 1: Couch Collapse (Synchronized Snoozing)

Technique matters: flopping down like a ragdoll, blanket deployed, one shoe off, remote in hand. Bonus points for mid-conversation zone-outs and perfect cheek-on-pillow angles. Judges call it "effortless commitment." Lowkey, it's an art.

Pro Tips from Gold-Medal Nappers

Schedule naps like meetings. Hydrate, then vanish. Embrace the five-minute “power nap” that somehow turns into 2 hours—no cap. Tell your partner you’re “resting,” then snore like a tiny freight train. BRB, medal ceremony waiting.

Share if this is your vibe

Tag a preggo pal who naps like it's training. If you’ve ever woken up mid-nap with a grocery list in your head and no clue what century it is—congrats, you're competing. This is the only sport where snacks are mandatory and participation trophies are pajamas.
