Whether in office, or when working from home, do you ever sleep at work? If yes, how often?

I have had quick 5-10 minute naps many times at my old in-office job. It was a very small company. Some days there were only 2 of us in one of the cabins, so it was pretty easy, she was okay with it. Sometimes, if she had to ask me something and found me taking a nap, she was like, nevermind, you can go back to sleep. Since she sat near the door, she would alert me if one of the bosses is coming around.

Here’s a meme, btw…

    I work from home and try not to nap. Napping can interfere with getting a good night’s sleep and I have difficulty with that enough as it is.

    With that said, there are times where I will lay down for 20 minutes to reset the clock as it were. Usually about two or three times a month. I used to try and nap often, but stopped when my primary informed that it can disrupt my sleep pattern. And yes, my sleep pattern was royally screwed in those days.

    Now, if I feel I need a nap I try to exercise. Either go out for a hike when it’s warmer. I picked up an elliptical off of Nextdoor and use it when it’s not nice outside. Yes, it’s tough to not just flop into my bed, which sits behind my workstation rather than hit the elliptical, but I managed to form a new habit.
