Seriously I wish it were socially acceptable to take a nap at work. I was up way too late studying last night! To bad my cube is right out side the bosses office!

All those times I did not want to nap as a little kid…boy what I would give to be able to nap now! 🙂

Anyone else have “issues” staying awake/alert at work?

I miss nap time. In college when I wasn't working a 9-5, I took naps everyday. Sometimes at work if I'm really tired, I'll go to my car, set my alarm and try to nap for an hour.

Several years ago I went to visit my native Taiwan and my uncle offered to take me to lunch. After lunch he offered to give me a tour of his company. I was shocked when I walked into the office. All the lights were off and every employee was sitting in their seat with their heads down on their desks. I thought they committeed mass suicide or something. My uncle informed me that it was just their daily after lunch nap and that Taiwanese employees do this customarily.

Now I work in a Chinese-American company. Many of our employees are from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong. And I have to say, I've seen some employees take these after lunch desk naps. Though it's not formally part of our company policy, I guess people are OK with it because it is part of some asian cultures. No one says anything as long as the napping is during their lunch break and not during work hours.

Though I'm from Taiwan, I grew up in California and the sight of an unconscious co-worker still trips me out. I wouldn't let my direct reports do this. And I can't get myself to take a nap infront of my colleagues either. Just too weird! I mran what do people do about drooling, snoring, involuntary body movements? If I really need a nap, I'll go to my car and catch 15 minute of ZZZ's in private instead. That's what I recommend 🙂

In college, I took daily naps too. I miss those days, for several reasons, but I think I miss napping most!

It's a decent walk to my car from the office, so it wouldn't be worth it to walk. And I'd get creeped out with people walking by and seeing me asleep, haha.

I had to take a Napuela after work today before getting back on the power weekend revival train! It's amazing what a 30-45 minute power Napuela can do for the mind!

@littlenumberrobot i'm with you, its a struggle to stay up past 9PM. I used to take naps at work when i had an office and a coworker who went our to lunch everyday. Now i'm in a cube and i commute to work so no naps for me during the week. It's on over the weekend though.
