I used to be a state-of-the-art sleeper. I used to just lie down on my stomach and dream for hours, vividly. Some nights I'd imagine myself as a bird, coasting above the salty Bay and its lofty bridges. Other nights I peered through the eyes of my heros, facing danger with expert calm. I remember every one.
Then I grew up. Anxiety compounded responsibility until even my rest was tense. In college I discovered lounging in bed with a good sleeper, which is almost a dream in itself! It generated this silly joke, that I could forgo a boyfriend for a napfriend. Friends would say, "You could advertise for that!" And I'd laugh, wondering if ...really I could.
It's weeks like this — when my fears have no face and my sleep doesn't last — that I think about that idea again. Of course, as my father's would, my mind races to the messy logistics. Where would you post an ad for a napfriend? How could you check an applicant's references? What's the going rate for hire?
