Garner Andrews, from the morning show of the same name on Sonic 102.9, has developed a "Nap Index." You can view it on his blog or listen to the show to find out what the NI is for that day. To fully understand the concept, you need to read the post about it here. I felt compelled to comment because I believe there should be a disclaimer or warning system in place when the NI gets too high.
WARNING: A Nap Index over 9.75 may result in drowsiness and/or dizziness. If you experience drowsiness or dizziness, avoid these activities. Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Avoid alcohol during this time. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by an extremely high Nap Index. Other side effects may include sleepiness, dizziness, confusion, a slow heart beat, difficulty breathing, difficulty walking and talking, an appearance of being drunk, and unconsciousness. Note that napping may be habit forming. Physical and/or psychological dependence can occur, and withdrawal effects are possible if one stops suddenly after days of prolonged napping. Rebound insomnia may occur at night on days when the NI is extremely high.
I strongly believe that it could seriously impair judgment and basic daily functioning if the NI edges up there... Frankly, a 9.3 is definitely pushing the envelope for me today. I wonder if it could be used as a defense in court for car accidents and such. Ah, no problem for me though, my narcolepsy is still under control, even at 9.3.
Just gonna just go maaake soooomee ccc o f ffff eeeeeee
