Cazzie David — Naps Are Disgusting
Summary
Cazzie David has a passionate hatred for naps, and Kareem is right there with her. Naps are disgusting, she declares, launching into a tirade about waking up disoriented with bad breath, puffy eyes, and hangover-like grogginess. She's not buying the siesta excuse either. Resting is fine, but actually going unconscious in the middle of the day? That's insane. You'd have to be stupid to turn your brain off like that. Kareem admits he's maybe napped twice in his life and takes at least three hours to fall asleep, which Cazzie reassures him is totally normal. The verdict: naps are for pets and babies only.

So what's your take? I think naps are the most disgusting thing you can do. 100% agree. That's what sleep is for.
Do you ever like— 72% agree. No, there's only two opinions in this world: yes or no. There's no maybe.
Yeah, that's my hot take. Well, I mean, if you agree that there's nowhere really left to go with this— I can go either way.
No, I want you to agree. I do agree. Here's why I agree: there's another word for napping. It's called sleeping. Yeah, and sleeping should be done at night. I agree. There's nothing you should do where you wake up that disoriented and feel sick. Naps are for pets and for babies only. 100%. It always feels like you've had a hangover every single time when you wake up from a nap. You are the most foul you'll ever be, just in general. Everything about it—you're reaching for your phone like help. You know what happened? Bad breath. Don't even say the word. Puffy eyes. Ugly. Sick. Scared. That's what a nap is.
What about other cultures that have napping ingrained in their society, such as the well-known siesta? Resting is good. There should be an hour for resting. But to actually be unconscious during rest is crazy. Also, how stupid do you have to be to be able to turn your brain off in the middle of the day and just be like, "None of that matters. I'm going to fall asleep"? Napping is not for us. I would actually go as far to say that you're—you're crazy if you take a nap. That they're insane to do.
I've napped. I've na—I've napped them maybe twice in your life? Yeah. How long does it take you to fall asleep?
At least like three hours in bed. That's normal.
