I've sent this to my boss, but I am not holding my breath.
Yes! Redemption for the siesta! ;)
yeah but how much productivity could you have done throughout your life by working or talking with people than by napping. I hate wasting time sleeping id rather work at my workplace.
I just love their definition of a night owl. At midnight I'm just getting my second wind.
Derek, the point is to recharge your brain after several hours of doing productive work. If you're wasting time while you're working anyway, well, then you may as well be taking a nap.
Yo, take your nap on your lunch break, not on the clock! Shouldn't that be obvious??

Most corporate employers have sleeping on the job as grounds for immediate termination. The managers of these corporations have private offices with lockable doors so they can nap all they like.
Go figure.
