Remember this? Now it's time to use it! While it's frowned upon in most workplaces to doze off for a couple of minutes, it makes sense for a worker to take a break if he/she are feeling drowsy. In most cases, people aren't productive when they are tired. The urge to nap is increased when you have a lack of fresh air, are stressed or when you are under artificial lighting for long periods of time. All of these things are what people can experience in your normal office job. The best way to combat this issue is to just let the worker nap. Doesn't it make sense to have about 20 minutes of un-productiveness rather than hours?
Moral of the story: Don't feel guilty about napping at work. Well, that is unless you get fired. More importantly, owners and bosses should wake up to the fact that napping, in the long run, can be productive.
This looks kind of dangerous. I'm a fan of the traditional excuse-yourelf-to-go-to-the-restroom-then-take-a-mid-day-nap-while-on-the-toilet-seat.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it looks like it would be hot and suffocating. They should just put beds in offices and give everyone nap time like in kindergarten!
DeleteThere is a nurse's office where I work and it has a private room with a bed in case workers need to rest for a while. I have yet to take advantage of it, but I think it's a great idea.
