We Ranked 30 Fall Activities Against Taking a Nap and It’s Not Even Close

15. Mulling Cider

Not too much work, super autumnal and pretty tasty, but a warm beverage is just a precursor to sleep. That’s still the main course.

14. Watch The Foliage

It’s pretty the way leaves turn from green to red and gold, but I once had a dream where leaves were purple and they could talk, so, gotcha beat.

13. Autumn Beer Fest

Oktoberfest beer is so weighty you’ll be too sluggish to drive before you even get drunk. When you blow it off in favor of a nap in the car, remember not to put the keys in the ignition, they can bust you for that.

12. Scenic Train Ride

Kinda nice, but best case scenario you fall asleep.

11. Backyard Fire

What’s better than sitting around a fire on a crisp night having some drinks and laughs with your closest friends? The answer is of course sleep. Glorious sleep.

10. Play Sports

If you’re going to play sports, fall is the best time to do it. It’s cool out so you don’t sweat as much. Then again, when you take a nap in the fall weather, you don’t sweat at all. Or have to run. Yup, sign us up for rec-league naps.

9. Baking A Pie

Nothing says fall like a warm slice of apple pie! Unfortunately nothing says “way more work than I thought it would be” like baking a pie. Hey, they sell pie at the store. You have a microwave. All the goodness and none of the cleanup so you can go straight into a pie nap.

8. Making Candy/Caramel Apples

Way less effort than making a pie, but way less payoff too. Just eat the candy wrap things by themselves and walk the line between nap and diabetic coma for a while.

7. Pumpkin Carving

Nothing makes you feel like a kid again quite like carving a jack-o-lantern. Nothing that is safe for falling asleep at like 2:00 p.m. for no other reason than you just felt like it then and there.

6. Fall Cocktail Night

Whether you’re doing a fun adult twist on apple cider or brewing up some good old-fashioned egg nog, the fact is it’s way easier to just down some straight liquor and pass out in your bed.

5. Haunted House

Everyone knows fall is horror season, and what better way to celebrate than by going to a haunted house? Well, watching a horror movie I guess. At home. In bed. Under the blankets. Yup, I’m going to sleep.

4. Haunted Hayride

Regular-ass hayrides did not rank very high on our list because it’s basically just sitting with extra steps. Haunted hayrides on the other hand reward you for the effort and discomfort. It’s like immersive theater only fun and you don’t have to walk or interact with anything, which puts it above both normal hayrides and traditional haunted houses. You still need to coordinate with friends and go to a place though so of course napping still wins out.

3. Find A Body

With the cooling weather providing beautiful foliage, providing a more pleasant hike climate and slowing decomposition, fall is the perfect time to find a dead body with your three best friends. Everyone bonds, does some personal growth along the way, and you all get your name in the papers! It’s the kind of thing you could write a great book about years later, but it’s work. Plus, there’s a group of bullies looking for the same body you’re bound to cross paths with. Yeah, on second thought, let’s sit this one out and have us a nice cozy nap.

2. Read A Book

Really this is only at the #2 spot because nothing makes us drowsier than reading, which brings us to…

1. Take A Nap
