I sneak off to the parking garage at lunch time to have a Power Nap in the back of my car. Tinted windows mean I'm totally invisible, and I can get 25 min of good rest. It is a highlight of my day

In parts of Asia, it's common for workers to bring a sleeping bag, office lights turned off during lunch break, and take a nap.

In the US, I used to sneak away for a nap during lunch. It's amazing how much more energy I have in the afternoon.

I think naps should be encouraged by managers in American work places. For example, give a small bonus to people who take 15-30 minute naps. I know if I ever run a company, I'd have a nap policy and provide safe spaces for workers to nap. A long time ago, bosses discovered that coffee increased productivity. I don't see why 15-30 minute naps shouldn't be encouraged by bosses.

Most people are somewhat sleep deprived, whether it's insomnia, anxiety, long commute, parenting, etc. For me, if I didn't get more 7 hours of sleep the night before, my productivity is half of a normal day. A nap can boost a worker's productivity significantly for half a day. It's better than stuffing yourself with coffee, which is unhealthy and provides more of a nervous energy than productive energy in my opinion.

I've been napping my entire life. When I had to go into the office I always went into a Starbucks, ordered the cheapest drink of their filthy selection, then went to their biggest sofa, put on my headphones with classical music on, leaned back and had a nap. On the way back to the office I'd grab a takeaway meal and then eat by my desk.

you touch on a fatal flaw of the current approach to RTO.

you know what we need? business hammocks!

in an office you can't even close your eyes for longer than 10 seconds with the intention to visualize something or think deeply without someone asking if everything is alright.
