Waking up at work sounds like a nightmare.

I work remotely, I nap occasionally when needed.

Not all the time. Usually work a bit later or something to make up for it.

But it’s a waste of time for me to sit a my desk pretending to do work when I’m not, I’d rather just take a 25 minute nap and get back to it.

I think companies should invest in creating some sleep pods or nap rooms with recliners to let employees have a quick nap now and then, I think it’d better for your mental health and would actually make people more productive if they could take a short break from work without feeling guilty or worried about it

Well im not getting a raise this year…so yes…a lot.

I used to nap daily for 20-40 mins on a 1-hour lunch in my car. I hated the job and had a 75 minute commute while never letting myself go to bed early enough. I got pretty good at it and can nap pretty effectively. 26 minutes is how long you want to be asleep for, according to NASA. It helps to have a routine to make both falling asleep and waking easier

like every other day at lunch I have a short nap. dealing with stupid shit is exhausting

I need a CPAP to sleep, so naps are basically impossible for me

But at a past job doing tech support at a web hosting company, where I was still new and assigned to the night shift, it was just me and another guy who was supposed to support me, and be the acting manager.

At night we’d be lucky to get more than one or two calls, and maybe a handful of live chats, so we’d mostly do tickets all night.

Well, I would. He would curl up at his desk and sleep for 7 hours, then speed through a bunch of really easy tickets (that he’d botch) in order to have respectable metrics.

There were others in a different department who knew about this, so on at least one occasion, they drew a penis on his forehead while he slept. Even though our boss saw this, the slacker wasn’t fired, as he was one of the few who actively wanted the night shift.

Never.

Basically never now, thankfully. My old job would send me out to the field where a lot of the day was spent waiting for things to happen. Luckily those things often involved loud noises, so I’d be woken up and didn’t miss anything.

For more context, I work for an environmental company where part of our work is overseeing the importing and exporting of soil (dirt) and stone (rocks) from jobsites. Depending on where in the state you are, it could be a 3 hour round trip from the jobsite to the quarry/landfill. I’d bring a folding chair, or just sit in my car near where the loading/unloading was.

For import, the dump trucks would roll in and then just dump their whole load. The noise came from the tailgate slamming shut after the entire truck was emptied. It would wake me up every time.

Then for export, a bulldozer would be dumping rocks, concrete, or soil into a dump truck. That was usually pretty loud itself which would wake me up.

According to the weekly dump logs (lol), I never missed a truck.

Never

I’ve slept once and been caught. Everybody laughed because I was watching one of those online courses.

When we had a couch at the old office I used to have a nap in it during the afternoon coffee break.

I dont.

While an apprentece when i was switching medication i did fall asleep once, got told off and it was super emberessing

When I worked nights at my current job I could go into any of the back offices and get in a good 2-3 hours of sleep each night if I wanted. At one point I got a talking to for not being “on camera” for too long but they could never prove what I was doing so it was just a warning and not a write-up.

I work day shift now so I can’t do that anymore, but I’m also getting better sleep so I don’t really have to.

I’m one of the worst employees ever when I work for someone but that is surprisingly something I never got to do
