From How to be an idle parent by Tom Hodgkinson:

Sleep-deprived people lack reason. They are dark shadows of gloom. They become tetchy and irritable. Everyone seems an idiot, and the world is hostile. One friend says he gets into a sort of murderous rage, and he doesn’t realize that his fury is directly caused by his lack of sleep until he finally gets some rest.

We should be overjoyed when our partner naps: She is not slacking off, she is being merely sensible. We need sleep!

Damn right.
