Today on my drive home I got to wondering about the best overall period of life. You know how older people like saying to younger people, "Enjoy this time, these are the best years of your life," and stuff like that? Is there a period of objectively 'best years'? I decided it's childhood because that's the only life stage when you might actually get all the sleep you need. Seems like during every other period of life you get screwed on sleep for one reason or another. I considered whether retirement/old age is a good period for sleep and decided that the responsibilities of being an adult (paying bills, healthcare, etc.) cancel out the benefits of potentially getting all the sleep you could ever want. Even being sick isn't as bad when you're a kid, because you don't have many responsibilities to worry about. You just stay home from school.
That got me thinking about people who have perfect attendance in school....how do they do it? I think enough time has passed by now that I can admit I faked a few illnesses during childhood just so I could stay home from school and watch movies. Do people with perfect attendance just never need a mental health day?? HOW DO THEY COPE? If you are one of these superhumans, please share your insights.
