Are we all doing this now, because I’m exhausted by noon everyday. (TikTok screencap)

I wish break rooms with sleeping facilities were more common. A quick nap would be so much more helpful than a gallon of coffee.
Unfortunately we all know what they would actually be used for.
Sounds to me like we need another room.
Every response to this seems like its implying sex. But I’m reading it as forced longer hours at work since there is bedding avaliable.
a friend interned at a FANG company, fell asleep in one of the noise isolation pod chairs in the hall and missed most of a day.
he still got hired after his internship lol.

This is actually legally mandated in Sweden for all workplaces with more than 50 employees - there must be a room present with some kind of affordance for lying rest. It must also be possible to darken the room completely. Its stated purpose is to facilitate temporary rest for workers.
.
No no, you can’t have any wealth afforded to the working class, that’s communism /s
For anyone who thinks this seriously go read The Gospel of Wealth and don’t @ me.
This is some “battered employee” type shit to say.
Get a load of the guy who has never heard of siestas
All David_Eight was alluding to was that my employer isn’t the best. Why the hate?
Probably forgot to take their siesta.
Get a load of the guy who thinks saying get a load of the guy is hate
I think they were probably talking about the downvotes XD
Then why reply to me? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because you can’t really respond to a downvote.
I’ve found a 20-minute nap to be game changing, no matter your occupation or love for your job. It just works.
I didn’t like my old job, but the one thing I really miss was having a full hour for lunch and being located directly next door to a park
I’d go hang my hammock up between a couple trees and set an alarm on my phone to take a nap, it was pretty damn great.
Rant time. Lunch breaks are a fucking scam. Hear me out.
We’re made to believe that a mandatory 30 minute, unpaid, lunch is somehow a victory for workers rights. Tell me, do you really feel like you’re taking a break from work in those 30 minutes? Or are you still thinking about work? Are you still in “work mode”? Well guess what, that’s 30 minutes of you thinking about work and not relaxing that they are stealing from you. Your workday isn’t 8 hours, it’s 8 and a half hours. That 30 minutes isn’t really yours, it’s not enough time to get anything done. You don’t agree? Go get drunk during your lunch break. Oh what’s that? You can’t because you’ll face consequences at work? Well gee, sounds like that time doesn’t actually belong to you then if you’re not free to do whatever you want.
It used to be a job was 9-5. That’s 8 hours. Total. You either had a paid lunch, or you ate on the job. But it was PART of those 8 hours. I don’t know about you, but if I’m not getting paid for it, I don’t want to be at work a second longer than I have to. I’ve had a few jobs that let me work through lunch and it was great, I could keep working and eat at my desk and I was out of the door 30 minutes before the rest of my co-workers. Jobs that force me to take a lunch are BS. I don’t need 30 minutes to eat a sandwich, and the remaining time is NOT relaxing. I don’t get to unwind from work. I am instead filled with rage that I’m just wasting time, not getting paid, in order to uphold the illusion that the company “values our time”, when really they’re just holding us hostage.
Mandatory, unpaid, “breaks” are just a form of wage theft.
You don’t agree? Go get drunk during your lunch break.
Bold assumption that I wasn’t doing this already.
My last week at one of my jobs I was just drinking at my desk
I used to work with a dude who started showing up to the office in pajamas and just played foosball in the break room all day once he’d accepted another offer and put in his notice
I worked a retail job many years ago where store management even told employee they couldn’t leave the building during their 30 minute break since “there wasn’t enough time and you’d be late coming back.”
The companies legal department set the record straight on that one when they caught wine of it but I’m pretty sure there were never any consequences for the management.
Where I live its minimum 45min paid lunchtime.
But usually it’s 1h-1h30-2h. Which can be sort of exhausting in the other way. Don’t get me wrong, it’s super, but 2h? You’re like supposed to catch that up and stay later. Legally or not, that’s how the system is here in France.
That’s why work from home (or 1 day in the office to meet up for a long lunch which actually makes sense) is soo good, I can skip lunch if I’m not into the mood, or eat whenever I want.
This is me working from home. My one hour lunch is just my one hour nap, if you quickly drink coffee before the nap, you wake up with a rocket up your ass
I also WFH but still go out to my van during lunch. Mostly to work on small projects.
I used to work for Comcast at their corporate HQ. One day while walking around waiting for my Blackberry app to finish compiling (this could literally take upwards of an hour because every module incorporated had to be digitally signed by a different RIM server - sometimes it would never finish at all and I would go home) I discovered a sick room with a very comfortable long couch. I started taking 30 minute naps here and my post-lunch productivity skyrocketed. I made the mistake of mentioning this room to one of the Infosys employees and that was the end of my naps. That room was permanently occupied from that point on.
I eventually started pulling a George Costanza and sleeping under the desk in my cubicle, hidden by a filing cabinet and my chair with a crocheted blankie draped over it. Corporate hatred of naps is just so fucking stupid and counterproductive.
I used to do this at a previous job. The Break was 30 minutes. I once slept for more than 2 hours. Nobody noticed.
My luck I wouls try to rest my eyes and wake up tomorrow lol
I used to work at a bank and you get a 30 min lunch and 2x 15 breaks.
I made a deal with my team to let me take a 1 hour lunch so I can spend 5 minutes eating and 55 minutes sleeping.
After moving to Taiwan, the lunch sleeping culture is extremely strong. In school, call students are required to nap. This culture translates to work. From corporate America to Blue collar workers, everyone takes a nap at lunch.
Yeahim 33 and i do this even if I have to sleep on the ground somewhere. I also have a bed in my car for the same reason. I feel amazing after 15 minutes
💔
I do nap in my Breaks too. I think the world is getting more and more tiring…
Can confirm: life is getting more exhausting.
That car looks comfy as hell ngl
Back when I was working at Dell (sales 🤮), I would do this almost every day! Luckily back then, we had hour long lunches so I could eat and then go to my car for a nap.
On night shift, I’d eat for half and sleep for half of my break. Worked out pretty good, 30 mins to eat and 30 min nap.
This is very much my current set up. Glad to see I’m not the only one. There are literally dozens of us.
I had two jobs in a row where I’d crash in my cot. At one, I kept it in the attic, at the next I had an actual office. Last job was WFH, so I crashed in an actual bed after lunch.
A 20-minute nap is energizing! Very nice.
CAVEAT: For most of us, 20-minutes+ might make you more tired. Clock it on at 20, test for yourself.
