Napping on the job
18 Jan 2012 Leave a Comment
I think about (or rather long for) naps a lot lately – I’ve just been feeling kind of tired out. Unfortunately, I’m a great big failure at napping. I try but usually end up lying there with my eyes closed while my brain runs rampant for however long. I think it’s a mom thing.
Anyway, I was intrigued by a recent news story on subject of grabbing a little shut-eye during the work day. According to the story, Google, the Huffington Post and the New York Times have devoted office space to napping on the job. How cool would that be?
Maybe more employers would consider devoting office space to naptime if they read this quote – my favorite line in the story:
“A lot of people still don’t understand that napping at work can increase your productivity and creativity, maybe even make you smile at your co-workers more.”
Next time your co-worker has the grumpies, keep in mind that he or she probably just needs a cat nap.
