    Napping in the office toilets is for pussies...real men nap on their bosses desk.

    Nah that's no good. What you want is a big dirty shit on your bosses desk. Show him who's boss.

    I prefer to take nap while driving. Helps on boring journeys.

    I knew a guy who fell asleep on his moped while stopped at the side of the road, he fell off into the road. We were looking out the window cos we knew something was gonna happen! He must have had narcalepsy or something ... he was eventually sacked for constantly falling asleep.

    Naps really are underrated as a sleep pattern.

    I nap on my cushiony chair either between 7 and 7:30 or 3 and 3:30. I've done it quite a few times in this new job. Need to make it regular though.

    Lol, I always call them 'power naps' as well, and for good reason too. Getting 10-20 mins sleep when you're absolutely knackered can seriously make a big difference to your day!

    I used to over indulge on the oul' power naps in my last job though. I'd aim for about 6 hours sleep the night before work, then when at work I'd nip out to my car and go asleep on the back seat with a blanket over me for a couple hours. In a round about way I was getting the correct amount of sleep!

    ...Them were the days... !

    So what you're saying is he should do it on his own desk?

    Oh yeah.. I've had to come up with some quick answers in the past to explain myself so just in case you get caught napping here are some you can pull out of the bag..

    1. They told me at the blood bank this might happen
    2. I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up my contyact lens without my hands
    3. (raising head) "Amen."
    4. I was testing the keyboard for drool-resistance
    5. There was a bug in my eye and i was trying to suffocate him
    6. My eyes were on "screen saver."
    7. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stess. Do you discriminate toward people who practice Yoga?"
    8. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm."
    9. The mailman flipped out and pulled a gun so I was playing dead to avoid getting shot.
    10. This is just a 15-minute powernap - like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to.

    I don't subscribe to the idea of naps...if I go to sleep I want to stay that way for at least 6 hrs...nothing as disorienting for me as falling asleep for 30-60 mins at some point in the day and then having to get back into the swing of work and such. Anyone who needs naps during the day to perk them up isn't getting their proper night time rest IMO...

    BTW monkeyfudge, this guy wasn't narcoleptic...just a lazy fecker...

    In my first office job, this (really hot, skimply dressed) woman was training me in on a computer system at my desk. She was resting her chin on one hand as she used her other hand for typing etc. Despite mini faceman trying to get me to check her out, i kept my eyes on the screen. Then i noticed she stopped typing. I turned and looked and she was fast asleep.

    So i got up from my desk, went to the jacks and came back. She was still asleep! Classic!

    While I wouldn't nap at work (unless I was on a proper break) I am in favour of napping. And here's why:

    I used to power-nap from time to time but it made it difficult to get to sleep at a normal hour, so I cut it out.
