edd_t Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 lots of people hear have power naps. they go into the meeting rooms or to the comfy sofas down stairs. i cant see why you would get in trouble aslong as its during your lunch break and people know where to contact you if need be.

Havard Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think it's disgraceful that people fall asleep at work!! I went to our head office the other day and couldn't believe the number of our warehouse staff who were having a crafty wink!! My wife's company has a bloke who has a complete hour for his lunch asleep. He finds an empty office and lies on the floor.....W.T.F...... H.

slyspark Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Before I started my own company, I'd often pop out to the car for my hours lunch break and have a half hour nap. As I had to start early every day, was always a little tired and the lunch time nap was my way of having a much more awake and alert afternoon. Also, whth a compulsary hours lunch break and only needing 15 mins to have somethiong to eat, the other 45 mins were boring, so was a good way of getting through it. I can see that falling asleep behind ur desk / on the sofa in reception / in an empty office could well look bad to visitors or other staff, this was the reason I always went and slept in my car. Was also much more peaceful there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I sometimes have a power nap in my supe, 30 mins during lunch can work wonders for the afternoon thats what i was thinking - i wake up around 6:30am and usually get pretty tired around mid day i dont think the human body was designed to stay awake more then 12 hours per day - look at cavemen , all they had to do was hunt, eat and sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 After thinking about my first post in this thread, it has dawned on me that I do sometimes sleep in works time. I sometimes work from home and will have a craft nap! OR you may find me asleep in a motorway services car park as I sometime struggle to keep away when driving long distances....... I still don't agree with it in an office or work environment. Last week our warehouse manager was well out of it when I turned up at lunch time, I walked into this massive warehouse and could have helped myself to £1000's of pounds worth of stuff....... H.

Pete Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I find I need one around 15:00. Just been for a drive to the garage to buy a newspaper and check my latest recruitment advert to wake me up a bit. Very rarely I've actually had a nap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
