I nap, like alot

Just as the title says, now before any assumptions are made, I work full time TWO jobs

Basically, to me, sleep is GOLD. Its precious, its my fuel for the next morning, it determines whether i have a bad hair day for work (given if i have the time to shower, of course if ive had a good sleep), it determines how good my day will be.

So I have been doing this. Right after work, i will park in a safe location (say, an elderly community close to my work), roll back my seat, and NAP, usually for an hour, two at most. I wake up refreshed.
Id rather do this than drive almost half asleep by the wheel (its dangerous to do so)

I know other people who are sleep deprived. Im beginning to feel "spoiled" for getting my sleep and naps right. is it normal to feel spoiled/entitled?

I decline going out socially because Id rather snooze comfy in my pajamas curl up and netflix. ahh the works:)

When I come home I keep my interactions/physical activities light because Im already being drawn to my bed:)

I prioritize my sleep and my naps more than anything. I wonder if its normal to deprive oneself of sleep constantly? Is it normal to give in to my body's need for sleep?

    Sounds like you can't get enough sleep. Maybe you have a sleep disorder like sleep apnea.

        I sleep many hours, but probably don't reap all the benefits, because I have sleep apnea and my CPAP machine is broken.
        :-(

    I cherish my sleep too, but this sounds sad.

        Working two full time jobs only leaves room for sleep in your life. No room for life. That is sad.

        • Bills need to get paid. This is how i support myself. I dont see how abnormal this is from the millions of working class americans who also work two jobs

          but i can kinda see what youre saying. and i kinda do envy people who spend money on whatever they want, like shopping sprees and stuf

            I meant time for eating. Maybe cooking food.

    Are you tired of this routine?

    When do you have any fun?

    Fun is needed too.

    • I have aquaintances but not alot of friends. im 26 so alot of my people are settled down and mindful of only family related activities, not necessarily friends and social stuff
      im not tired of this routine yet. because i dont get bored easily. i have hobbies and theres always something that intrigues me or sparks my curiousity
