Hearts Break Over Grandma's Sweet Nap Routine Whenever Granddaughter Visits

Bring back naptime, one woman—and her grandma—say.

In a viral video posted on TikTok, creator Maria (@marinarasaauuce) described her routine when she goes to her grandmother's house: Fifteen minutes to eat, and then a nap together. The clip has melted hearts online, with viewers reflecting on their own relationships with their grandparents, and with naps. Since it was posted two days ago, it has received more than 3.7 million views and over 951,000 likes.

"One thing about my grandma is as soon as I come over, it's nap time," Maria captioned the video. "She gives me 15 minutes to eat and then proposes a bed lay. I've never met anyone who loves to be horizontal as much as her. Never says no to a [little] lay."

Responding to a comment, Maria wrote that she and her grandmother have been napping together since birth: "We literally have a [picture] of us when I was toddler napping in a tent on a fishing trip."

Viewers resonated with the group nap habit, with some posting that sleeping alongside one another indicates a state of security and comfort.

"My grandma said her favorite thing in the world is watching my mom sleep because she knows she's safe and relaxed," @deliberateshea wrote.

The Benefits of Sleeping Next to Someone

In a 2022 study published in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, researchers found that people who shared a bed with a partner most nights experienced less insomnia and fatigue and more overall time asleep compared to people who never slept next to a partner.

In addition to this, the researchers found that sleeping with a partner was associated with lower stress, anxiety and depression—and more social support and general satisfaction with life.

People in the comments reflected on their own cuddle sessions with family members and friends.

"I used to do this with my nana too," @jennymarie203 posted. "When I'd go visit her, she'd be beading or weaving in her room, and I'd lay on her bed and visit with her then I'd end up napping. It was the best. I miss her."

"My grandma is the same except her and granddad have separate little beds," @necromancyforkids wrote. "So, I lay on granddads, and she lays on hers and we chitchat till we fall asleep."

Some related less to Maria, though, and more to her grandmother, seeing a version of themselves on the horizon.

"I think she would definitely 100000% be my best friend," @mads_rt wrote. "I think this is me in my future."
