And now I can officially say…

I napped in the parking lot of Jordan University.

That said, the worst thing about Ramadan is the fact that I have absolutey no sleeping schedule to speak off, and although I’m usually ok with having no schedule, it gets really tiring with classes from 8:00 to 3:00 (counting the 2 hour circus dancing class towards the end), and with no caffeine or food to give extra energy.

Today though, with only 2 hours of sleep last night, I was exceptionally tired, and by 11:00 o’clock, with still 4 more hours of classes to go, I was in a zombie-like state. Baaa.

Being the solution-ready people we are and taking a cue from our winter traditions, Noori and I decided to go sit in my car until 1:00, when our circus dancing class starts. I was so tired that for a few minutes, I thought I would ditch the class and just go home and sleep, but naturally enough, when we got to the parking, I found that my car was closed in a corner by not one, not two, not three, but rather, six cars, making it absolutely impossible to go anywhere. Yet, after settling in, we discovered that being surrounded by so many cars made an awesome sleeping environment, so we reclined the car seats, covered ourselves up in our jackets, fixed the shades to keep away the sun, and decided to take a nap.

And nap we did, at midday in the science’s parking lot of Jordan University.

    lol, I do that all the time in Ramdan. I usually use my lunch break to get an hour of sleep to stay awake the rest of the day.:))

    I think I would’ve done that during college, except it might be illegal to sleep in your car here in the US :) Yesterday I was so tired and the office was so quiet that I closed my eyes sitting at my desk and I think I dozed off for a minute or so. Oh and today I totally took a power nap on the Metro (subway). Ramadan is definitely the reason for this.

    Moi, I once slept in my car for an hour and a half in the US. What i’m sure of is that it’s illegal to sleep while you’re driving :D

    After parking in front of my house at 2 a.m. I was too tired to get down (this happens a lot). So, I decided to nap for 5 minutes and suddenly I open my eyes in confusion after hearing screams and knocks on the windows of the car. When I opened my eyes, everything was blurry, and my mobile was also ringing at the same time. I didnt know what was happening; where am I or why is all this happening to me in the first place? After almost 30 seconds of eye-rotation and neck-twisting; I find 2 of my friends outside and knocking. It was around 6 a.m.
