<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I take them after school/work a lot of times because I just can't help it. Shit always seems to go wrong after naps. My sleep pattern gets fucked up and I usually end up having trouble sleeping that night. I sometimes end up missing my normal dinnertime. I almost always end up really unpleasantly thirsty. 

During the school year, I'd often have to do homework and shiz at absurd times because of unfortunate and long naps I took. Today was finally the tipping point, though. I've been trying to make plans to go to the movies with a good friend for a few weeks now, but something always came up for her when we were going to go. Today I come home from work, tired as shit because I spent the day doing a bunch of menial stuff (stuffing envelopes en masse, mostly). I pretty instantly collapsed in bed and fell asleep. 

I wake up to a text from this friend asking if I wanted to see a movie tonight along with another friend of hers. I call her right after I read the text message, and she says she's at the theater already. Realizing that I'd get there super late between getting dressed and driving to the theater (well, a good twenty minutes into the movie probably), I told her that maybe some other time would be better. 

I'm tired of naps fucking me over. I never lie down to intentionally take a nap. It's always the "well, I can rest my eyes for a second" attitude that leads to them. How can I stop taking them?
<bot>: Taking naps after school/work is fucking me over in about 1,000 different ways. How can I stop taking them?
