Do you nap? Login/Join

With Americans averaging fewer than seven hours of sleep per night - and around 20 percent suffering from sleepiness during the day, according to a recent Stanford University study, many companies have turned to the humble nap in an attempt to stave off billions in lost productivity each year. Following the rise of workplace perks like lactation rooms, gyms, and child-care facilities, Nike workers now have access to nap-friendly "quiet rooms" that can also be used for meditation.

[Anyone setting up nap rooms at their office?]

Details.

Now this is a project I could sleep on. I volunteer to work on this one.

Did you notice the article did not mention anything about drooling?

For anyone really interested, Mednick's book is interesting reading. She makes a very good case for her "optimized nap".

I find that napping leads to a cycle of not being sleepy at night, so not getting a full night's sleep, so being tired the next day, so having to take a nap the next day. Result: perpetual grogginess.

It reminds me of being a poor student and always being low on gas because I always put $5 in the tank instead of saving up for a fillup.

I do indeed I have a nap room that I will occasionally make use of during lunch. I call it "my house." One of the benefits of living 3 miles from the courthouse in a very small county.
