Rise And Shine!
Then Get Back To Work

After recently publishing a book about the potential benefits of napping daily (i.e. increased productivity, improved health, etc) Peter Workman has decided to institute naptime at his own place of business.

As a result, his employees have come up with a variety of inventive ways to grab a 10 minute catnap on the job, including—but not limited to—curling up in the closet, passing out flat on the floor and lying face-first against a book poster.

Naturally, however, our favorite testimonial was that of Mike Vago, “who works in the art department.”

Writes The New Yorker:

Vago has been napping, on a company-provided yoga mat, in the designated nap area???a corner of the library that has been sectioned off by a shoji screen???and said that sleeping in semi-public did not bother him. ???Sometimes I would wake up and find someone next to me,??? he said. ???Not for the first time.???

And, judging by Vago’s candor (and his seeming familiarity with the one-night stand) it’s probably not his last time, either.

But we guess it’s just like George Costanza used to say. “I love a good nap. Sometimes it’s the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning.”

Sigh.

So true.
