Feeling tired is fine at night
And much less helpful now
But when the time to sleep was right
My mind would not allow
Unconsciousness to find me
So in bed I lay alert
I couldn’t get my brain to see
That insomnia would hurt
Any chance of a productive day
So my work I can’t complete
Because I simply cannot find a way
To stay focussed and upbeat
Though coffee helped it didn’t cure
Overwhelming weariness
And so again I must endure
A day of heightened stress
And I really have a lot to do
So much I should achieve
As my tasks continue to accrue
I have no tricks up my sleeve
To help me stay on the right track
And I’m heading for mishap
So I think I’ll lie down on my back
And have a work-place nap
James Proclaims! 
Sleeping on the job is sound
but you will find that once you’re found
you may no longer be around
you’re sacked!
Head teachers tend to want you working
and if they think that you are shirking
within the school you’ll not be lurking
get packed!

Great response but I think you’ll find we’re all prone to a little nap from time to time in secondary education. Often while teaching…

It’s only fair that teachers should share the benefits that the pupils have.

I blame the internet! How I yearn for the days when just existential dread would keep me up at night!

My students all asked for a nap today. (They are in high school.) I shared my favorite meme about napping. It says, “Dear naps, I’m sorry I was such a jerk to you when I was a kid.” I miss naps but not enough to let my students take one. 🙂

I would if I could have one at the same time, but I don’t trust them…
