Sloth

I have a number of indulgences. I eat too much candy and drink too much caffeine. But only one of my indulgences ever gets me in trouble. At least once a week I like to sleep for around 16 hours straight. I’m not lazy; but whenever I have free time I enjoy sleeping. I like sleeping more than watching television or reading or going to classes. While sleeping, I can dream I’m going to class, watching television, and reading all while comfortably flying around my hometown rescuing puppy dogs. Or whatever it is I dream about. And sleeping during the day is much more comfortable than sleeping at night. My problem is justifying my love for sleeping to my friends. People sometimes get offended when I pick sleeping through the afternoon over, you know, a birthday party. I often have to hide what I’m doing by feigning sickness or homework. Lying is just easier than trying to explain to my friends that dreaming is cooler than they are. They rarely understand.
