leighton

Haha. Fair enough. I’m the exact opposite and crave the cuddles and warmth, at least in the winter. Right now I prefer to sleep with as little on as possible. Anyway, naps aside lets get together and hang out soon. I need more Leighton in my life!!

Oh babes! Of course we need to hang out and catch up. What have you been up to? Any news on your love life, projects, anything? 

That is an outrageously long time since you’ve taken a nap for someone who relies on them to sleep properly. I just looked it up and season 1 of Gossip Girl was in 2007. We need to fix this? I’m lucky I get to spend so much time in hotel rooms and on tour buses. I’d send you some of my unused napping hours if I could. It gets boring and isolating with that much free time sometimes, actually. No need to introduce yourself — not at all. I’m a huge fan and Blair was of course my favorite character. You made her iconic. I also thought you knocked it out of the park in Country Song! Hi, Leighton, nice to meet you. I’m Shawn.

Maybe I’m just going to drown in some tea, or just get extremely drunk and pass out on my own. You see, that is a good night sleep right there. Specially when it’s wine... Actually that isn’t a bad idea at all. Oh my god, here I am introducing myself because Shawn Mendes wouldn’t know me and he does, when I completely know who he is. It is such a pleasure to meet you, and excuse me for getting overly excited for a second. Just- Let me get my posture back. 

me? asking you to be quiet? neverrrrr. i am doing fantastic, thank you for asking. how are you on this fine saturday?

Good! Because I could never pass up the opportunity to annoy a little someone. I had plans on getting drunk on my own but I have no idea if I should or not because it sounds like a really sad Saturday night. 

What exactly is a nap?  I have not had one since January it seems like and that was when I was flying back from Europe after I wrapped a project I was working on.  What have you tried to get to sleep though?  

I’ve tried tea, warm milk, ASMR videos but not the eating ones, and my last resource is sleeping pills I don’t want to jump on those just because I missed one nap. I am a no-no with unnecessary pills. What project were you working on?

i’ve genuinely never heard of someone taking naps so that they can sleep better at night. i avoid taking naps so that i can sleep better at night. i have a habit of going on day long binders where i just don’t sleep at all. i’m a bit of an insomniac i suppose. although naps are always good to take sometimes i find that i don’t nap for a normal period of time i always nap for like eight to ten hours and then i can’t sleep at night. but eventually when i do have my no sleep days i’ll end up passing out at some point and there is nothing i can do about the time of day that it is as long as i’m not driving or anything y’know? as long as i don’t do that everything is, cool.

That is something I’ll never understand. People with so much energy that can go a whole day without a minute or two of just closing their eyes. It’s not for me, I definitely need that specific time to just relax, sleep, wake not know what time it is or what day, I’m just really into that sort of lifestyle. 

I’m not. I am not so bad if I have to be up to get to work by 9am. But any earlier and I am not a morning person at all. I go for a run, but later on in the day.

Yeah, no I was just kidding. I am most definitely a morning person. Sleeping for me is a must. If it weren’t for work I’d probably sleep for the whole day and I’d be so glad to do so. 

My eldest boy is twenty, my daughter is fourteen, and my son is thirteen. I was having that conversation with Matthew, my husband, the other day, about more kids, three is a nice number, but seven, that’s insane! You might reconsider!

I mean when they get to that age I pretty sure you miss having them as little ones that you would carry around and they would cry just so that you can cuddle with them. Four is an even number and they say even numbers are lucky, except for number seven. Which is kind of ironic since yes, I would absolutely love seven but let’s be real, and you would know, that is a struggle. 

I mean, kind of makes a little sense? or I don’t know, but it should do since it makes sense to you. I nap way too often. I will hand you over one of my naps. 

Oh please, you don’t understand how thankful I’d be if naps could just be handed over. That would be quite a life saver. I’m Leighton, pleased to meet you.

the urge to take a nap right now is strong as hell. thank you, leighton meester. you’re making me sleepy with your nap talk!

Oh David Corenswet, is this you’re way of telling me to be quiet? I might as well bore you out of your mind, that could be hilarious. How’re you doing honey?

I don’t know if something’s wrong with me, but I’ve never been able to nap and feel good about it. It’s hard to explain, but everytime my body gives up in the middle of the afternoon and I wake up at like 7pm, I feel like I’ve lost years off my life. It’s weird, I know. But hey, if naps work for you, I’d suggest maybe taking a cup of tea beforehand? Or listening to some of those white noise videos on Youtube, they do help me sleep at night.

Oh yeah, I completely understand. Napping is great until you wake up absolutely lost. The sleeping was amazing, waking up is what messes it up. Here’s my dilema with liquids before going to sleep: peeing. I can’t fall asleep knowing that I’ll probably wake up at 3 am. That’s when I really won’t be able to sleep. 

It’s nice to meet you, Leighton, I’m Keeley. I’ve three kids and the youngest two will do that if they can’t sleep, just a cup of hot milk and chilling out on the sofa, I’ve found myself throwing a blanket over them and leaving them until the morning!

Aww! How old are they? That is adorable, I would love love love to have kids someday, I want seven but I know for sure that after the first one I’m probably going to regret even considering others. That is so sweet, I’ll make sure to prepare myself with a blanket nearby and a nice tv show to settle down. 

I think naps should be mandatory for every adult. Not only does it help when sleeping at night but its good for keeping stress down. I mean, if it works for kids it has to have some foundation there right? Hello Leighton, besides a lack of a nap, how are you doing?

Scarlett! Hey honey, I’m doing great, how are you doing? And yeah, my thoughts exactly, naps are a must for everyone. Sure, not everyone needs to take one every single day but guess I am not one of those lucky people. 

I don’t recall the last time I had a nap, a proper one, those that last for hours and you wake up having lost track of time. I probably was in middle school. You should try to get one. Is it work that’s keeping you awake or any other thing in particular? Or you simply can’t get a good nap schedule? Try these ASMR videos, they do help me when I want to sleep but can’t.

Those naps, the ones where you lose track of time and don’t even know where you are or what day is it, those are my type of naps. God I miss them. It’s actually work that’s making me lose my mind right now. And yeah! I’ve seen those videos, it’s the one where sometimes they whisper, or tap, or even eat. I like them. Not the eating ones though, those are weird for me. 

I like to wake up early so I try to work naps into my days. They’re only max an hour and a half and usually just on the couch but they make me feel more recharged to finish off the rest of my day. Do you drink a lot of coffee? That might be your problem. If not, I dunno. Count sheep?

Counting sheep? Does that even still work? Did that even work in the first place? I can’t remember the last time I did that but I do remember that it didn’t really do it for me. And yes, I do drink coffee but I try to keep it minimum on a daily basis. Unless it’s like one of those days where I just know it’ll be hectic, that’s when I drown in 4 cups of large coffee.
