Anyway, I quickly discovered that the top of a computer monitor is a great place to take a nap. Those things give off the heat! I have enjoyed many a dream-filled repose since I discovered the top side of the Dell M991.

In fact, I have become a bit of a monitor connoisseur. Rule #1 — stay away from flat panels; you can get hurt. Permanent wedgy, I tell you. Rule #2 — get a grip. I tend to move a lot in my sleep; on a 8-inch-wide perch with a 10-degree downslope, I find myself on the floor or wedged between the wall and the credenza quite often.

Rule #3 — don’t overdo it. With triple-digit temps and after hours of snuggly goodness, I occasionally find my nethery regions singed and in need of a soothing salve. Too much of a good thing is… well, good; but you know what I mean. Employ some “monitor moderation;” at least, until you build up your tolerance.

Time for a nap.
