Most people who are addicted to something can associate most of the pleasant moments in their daily life with the intake of this addiction. When I lived in Indiana, one of my favorite things to do was to drive around with a big gulp in my cup holder. I'm sure it sounds a little ridiculous to people with heavier addictions, but the positivity I feel with driving around is forever linked with the caffeine/sugar buzz I would get.
I don't drink soda as much these days, but traded it in for lattes. Sure enough, one of my best moments of the day is typically my first break at work where I get my first latte of the day and get buzzed, which gets me to lunch, etc. etc.
So, I guess I'm an addict.
The past couple of days I've taken lunchtime naps. I'm no longer constantly wired, so halfway through the day I get a bit tired. But, I take a small nap and I feel good the rest of the way through. Somewhere along the line we all felt it necessary to never be tired, seeing it as some kind of weakness. There should be a national nap half-hour instituted into the work schedule.
