I regard a good nights sleep as an annoying and inconvenient waste of potentially productive time. A nap, on the other hand, is a delightful mini-vacation. I sometimes nap at red lights. Since I was about ten years old, Ive always slept with the radio on -- not to help me to fall asleep, but to inform and entertain me during awake times.
