Napping culture spreads across the US

Sleep 'I'd put you through to Peter but he's in the middle of nap time right now…' Could this be the future of your workplace? The Times suggests it is a very real possibility in a recent article on the benefits of napping at work.

The article tells us that power naps of between 15 and 30 minutes are starting to become an accepted practice at US companies looking to boost productivity.

The approach has been tested by NASA, which found a 26 minute nap could improve their pilots' performance by 34 per cent.

Wondering where your workers might go for their daily snooze? Have a look at MetroNaps, a US outfit that leases state of the art 'sleeping pods' to nap friendly companies.
