Oh I love the keys idea. I'll need to try that. I've been a napper my whole life. I love to get up super early (even on weekends) and take a nap during the day if/when possible. This never works during the week, but I almost always get two naps per weekend. I don't care if my friends call me an old lady. I'm well-rested and they're jealous.

For me, covering up is KEY. Even if it's hot, I need to cover up with at least a light throw if I'm going to fall asleep. I even keep a pashmina at my desk for those extremely rare occasions when I'm able to sneak away for a 20 minute rest. At home, I make sure to cover up with a soft blanket. It also helps to have a cat curled up on top of me.

Ha! I read FrankiesGirl's comment wrong. I thought it said, "What works for me is guilt." I was wondering how on earth anyone could guilt their cat into anything. Then I realized, it's something my mom could totally accomplish if she put her mind to it.

I love the rug idea - so much better than a sheet. Our "solution" was to let kitty shred our old couch to pieces. After that, we inherited a futon that she wants nothing to do with. Unfortunately, neither do we. :p

I'm not sure I agree with the statement above. One of my favorite pictures from my parents' wedding (pretty wedding, horrible marriage) is a close up of their hands in silhouette, clasped together in the car as they drove away. It says so much about who they were at the time - their hopes for the future. It shows an optimism I didn't know my mom had, and a tender side of my dad I never saw.

Lived in a Chicago-style bungalow with my parents for about a year right after high school. My room was so, so tiny, and the set-up was exactly like room #2 featured above. I loved it. It was cozy and I hung sheer curtains that would flutter across my bed when a breeze came through. While I would never choose to put a bed in that spot if avoidable, it looked and felt lovely in that tiny space.
