Are micro naps actually effective?
Description
After lunch, many of us get that familiar afternoon slump, an overwhelming urge to just doze off for a little while.
And on weekends or during holidays, it’s easy enough to sneak in a short nap. But at work, it’s another story. Firstly, it simply wouldn’t be practical in a lot of work environments, and even if it was, would you really dare to go for a kip in the middle of the work day? You might be afraid of incurring the wrath of your boss, or giving your colleagues the impression that you’re a slacker.
What’s the ideal nap length then? So should we be encouraging napping in the workplace really then, rather than frowning upon it? What about longer naps? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
