Don’t think of it as lying; think of it as self-care.
There’s nothing like visiting your parents to help you assess the origins of your personality traits. From my mother, I received endless energy, obstinance, and curiosity—though I tragically did not receive superb hand-eye coordination. From my father, I received resourcefulness, endurance, and a love of dancing—and, also tragically, I did not receive his ability to. He naps every single day and wakes up refreshed and kind.
The acorn has lied though. I’m almost never napping. I don’t believe it started this way, though. Without being fully conscious of it—“not being fully conscious” being a major attraction of this premise—I’ve been practicing the fake nap for years. And then, as soon as I enter the privacy of my chambers, I am re-energized by the peace of my own company. I’m not that sleepy at all anymore.
You can’t be noisy, because you’ll give away your ruse. No powering-on sound of the laptop. No responding to the extended fam group chat, which you’re obviously reading. It’s not just that you can’t break the illusion for other people—you can’t break the illusion for yourself. The mimicry of napping, I can report after years and years, is its own particular form of energizing. And the ways in which it’s relaxing require all the trappings of napping, even if you’re not actually doing it.

Videos Suggest Captive Russian Soldiers Were Killed at Close RangeA series of videos that surfaced on social media last week has ignited a debate over whether Ukrainian forces committed war crimes or acted in self-defense as they tried to capture a group of Russian soldiers who were then killed. The videos show the grisly before-and-after scenes of the encounter earlier this month, in which at least 11 Russians, most of whom are seen lying on the ground, appear to have been shot dead at close range after one of their fellow fighters suddenly opened fire on Ukr
