In a shocking decision Ms. Smith has announced an official rebranding of gym class for naptime. Starting in the fourth quarter, students will learn the art of napping, pillow placement, and calming breaths. This decision was a tough call to make and, after careful consideration, the PE department realized that the true skill of this generation is the ability to fall asleep anywhere, at any time.
“We noticed all of a sudden in the middle of a badminton unit that students would just lay down and fall asleep during a game. Our department was like what is happening here! It was just amazing to see them adapt so quickly and nap. The benefit of napping is so important that we felt it was important to add it to our curriculum, ” says Ms. Smith.
The plans to transform the gym are underway. Yoga mats will be placed on the basketball courts, while white noise plays through the speakers. The addition of weighted blankets and lavender-scented candles will help increase drowsiness in the students.
Students will be graded on their ability to speedily fall asleep, snore consistency, and their ability to lucid dream. These key grading points are very important as Mrs. Smith said
Ms. Smith adds, “The grading will be more of a challenge. It is all subjective, but after much thought and consideration, our department feels that dreaming and snoring will weigh more. We are looking forward to the lucid dreams!”
Rumors even suggest a petition is circulating to turn the new system into an official school napping league that would count as a varsity credit.
You may ask if this is some elaborate April Fools’ prank, but we encourage you to rest assured and enjoy this new hobby.
