The Radical Act of Closing Your Eyes
In a world that equates productivity with worth, Tricia Hersey's declaration "Rest saved my life" isn't hyperbole-it's revolutionary. The Nap Ministry, which began as her personal survival strategy during graduate school, has evolved into a global movement challenging the systems keeping us perpetually exhausted. As burnout rates soar and sleep deprivation becomes a public health crisis disproportionately affecting Black Americans, Hersey's framework offers not just personal healing but collective liberation. Drawing from Black liberation theology, womanism, and her grandmother's wisdom that "every shut eye ain't sleep," she invites us to reimagine rest not as a luxury but as resistance against capitalism and white supremacy. When Hersey declares, "I will never donate my body to a system still indebted to my Ancestors," she connects modern exhaustion to historical exploitation, revealing how the plantation model created a false binary: work yourself to death or rest and starve. By refusing this choice and claiming rest anyway, we begin unraveling from grind culture's deadly embrace.
