10.30.25: The Human Reset Button

I think naps are proof that humans have a built-in reset button. Computers restart, phones reboot, and we… nap. Twenty minutes of unconsciousness and suddenly the world looks manageable again. I’ve solved problems in my sleep that felt impossible awake. The brain takes the wheel, shuffling memories, cleaning up the mess. It’s both science and magic. The irony is that adults resist naps, treating them like weakness, while kids fight against them like punishment. But everyone knows, deep down, nothing compares to waking up disoriented, hair a mess, and realizing the nap turned a disaster of a day into salvageable.
