The sheets were blessedly cool and smooth, and the pillow so soft.  Janet eased into bed, making sure she enjoyed every moment of lying down.  Naps, she felt, had been under-appreciated so far in her life, and she didn't want to waste another one by ignoring the beautiful feeling of weariness slipping into rest.  Though her muscles ached, Janet used them to sink inch by inch into a bed that had never, ever felt this good.  Her feet sighed with relief and she stretched her toes.  She released her tied eyes from their increasingly fuzzy work and closed them to better experience the release of her body.  As she drifted away, a space far back in Janet's mind lamented a life ahead with limited opportunities for naps and she reiterated to herself the pledge not to let another nap go without full engagement in the experience.
