Are we all doing this now, because I’m exhausted by noon everyday. (TikTok screencap)
I do nap in my Breaks too. I think the world is getting more and more tiring..
That car looks comfy as hell ngl
If I take one nap my circadian rhythm will be fucked forever.
After a certain age, waking up from a nap feels like being a malnourished bear slowly crawling out of your winter den on shaking legs and a confused, lethargic mind that only wants berries.
I used to work for Comcast at their corporate HQ. One day while walking around waiting for my Blackberry app to finish compiling (this could literally take upwards of an hour because every module incorporated had to be digitally signed by a different RIM server - sometimes it would never finish at all and I would go home) I discovered a sick room with a very comfortable long couch. I started taking 30 minute naps here and my post-lunch productivity skyrocketed. I made the mistake of mentioning this room to one of the Infosys employees and that was the end of my naps. That room was permanently occupied from that point on.
I eventually started pulling a George Costanza and sleeping under the desk in my cubicle, hidden by a filing cabinet and my chair with a crocheted blankie draped over it. Corporate hatred of naps is just so fucking stupid and counterproductive.
I used to do desktop support for a hospital and at one point we were using an empty suite for storing hardware during a PC refresh so I had a key for it. There was still furniture in there so I also used it as my office when I wasn't running around. It was really nice because there was a couch I could nap on and no one ever went in there so it was quiet. My boss didn't care because he could always reach me on my cell.
I got fired for this! Even though it was my lunch break, I was off the clock, and I have a chronic illness that makes working an 8-10 hour day exhausting, I was fired since I was "setting a bad example for the junior staff".
Guess who got an EEOC/disability settlement.
Fudge the number slightly and such to protect yourself, but what did you end up getting?
Asking for a friend.
We settled for wages at my previous salary for the time I was unemployed, the bonus I would have received, and the stock I was to be awarded literally the day after they terminated me. We think the latter two were the real drivers for my termination.

Nice
I didn't like my old job, but the one thing I really miss was having a full hour for lunch and being located directly next door to a park
I'd go hang my hammock up between a couple trees and set an alarm on my phone to take a nap, it was pretty damn great.
In my opinion, this is mostly great only for salary folks. As an hourly worker, an hour lunch break means I'm away from home for an extra hour. Also, as someone who travels to many locations, I'd much rather eat on the road than sit down and wait until lunch is over, especially if it's mandatory...
???
Every job I've ever had - had the lunch unpaid. Hourly or Salary you're ass is there a minimum of 8 hours and 30 minutes.
Only difference is if you're there 10 hours. The Hourly guy gets paid extra. The salary man gets told to go fuck himself. "Salary Exempt"
Generally I agree, but I do carve out a narrow exemption for that particular hourly job, it was in a warehouse so pretty physical, I was on my feet all day, carrying around heavy boxes and such, and with the specific job I had I was often the first one there in the morning and basically always the last to leave, so I really wanted that nap in the middle of the day
Same here from when I was working in the field. If I'm driving, I can count it as working so I go home after 8 hours instead of 9 or 8.5 or whatever.
My luck I wouls try to rest my eyes and wake up tomorrow lol
Gotta set an alarm on your phone
I wish break rooms with sleeping facilities were more common. A quick nap would be so much more helpful than a gallon of coffee.
a friend interned at a FANG company, fell asleep in one of the noise isolation pod chairs in the hall and missed most of a day.
he still got hired after his internship lol.
This is actually legally mandated in Sweden for all workplaces with more than 50 employees - there must be a room present with some kind of affordance for lying rest. It must also be possible to darken the room completely. Its stated purpose is to facilitate temporary rest for workers.
Unfortunately we all know what they would actually be used for.
Sounds to me like we need another room.
Also a great way to decompress on a lunch break
Getting raises?
What if you drool a lot? asking for a friend
not being so overworked would be nicer
This is some "battered employee" type shit to say.
Get a load of the guy who has never heard of siestas
All David_Eight was alluding to was that my employer isn’t the best. Why the hate?
Probably forgot to take their siesta.
I genuinely don't understand how people can nap during a 20 minute break. I need two hours just to consider falling asleep. Unless I'm trying to stay alert, at which point I'll crash immediately, but only as long as I don't actively try to lie down and sleep.
I don't trust anybody who can shut down on command to not be an infiltrated cyborg.
Try being permanently exhausted. Ever since I had mono and COVID in 2020 I basically fall asleep the moment I touch my bed. But unfortunately I also need that nap almost every day.
Sorry to hear that. It genuinely sucks.
My personal experience is if you try to nap every afternoon consistently at the same time, your body gets used to the schedule which allows you to get to sleep faster.
Soooooo…. Who took the picture?
It's a Twitch stream. passive income.
Gotta hustle, can't stop grinding
The image is of a health care worker. The missing context is this. It’s common practice for unused (not patient) rooms with recliners and such to be used for naps during breaks. Doctors have designated sleeping rooms they can use whenever, lunch or not. Nurses do not, so they get creative, even going so far as using equipment storage rooms if there’s a recliner in there, but can only sleep during their designated lunch break time.
This staff person appears to have a setup for napping in their car.
No, I did this every day for years in my 20s. Nothing new, sorry to say.
I feel called out, this is literally what I do during my lunch break with a camper bed set up in the back. I skip eating lunch altogether because a nap is more energizing than some food
