My husband sometimes naps at work – closes his door and puts his head down for 10 minutes. I don’t nap a lot – though as I get older, I do find myself allowing for them more. And strangely enough, I don’t always feel more refreshed, but I do have more energy and find that I’m getting things done.

In fact, right now might be a good time to take 10…or 20.

Hi Karl,
Just yesterday, I came home from work and I was really dragging. So, I sat down on the sofa, in silence, and took a 20 minute nap. When I woke up, I was refreshed, and ready to take on the evening I had in front of me! Now…if I could just do that at work (the car idea might be a good one!). It doesn’t have to be long to come out and feel refreshed.

Hi Dyana, when you get that nap room set-up, send me a picture.

Hi Nathan, waking up is hard, but worth the pain.

Hi J.D., there have been studies that show taking breaks are almost as effective as a nap. As long as you are taking time to recharge the battery I think you are doing good.

Hi Christine, love is a strong description and very aptly used.

Hi Scott, that’s right! We all deserve to feel sexy and look refreshed.

Hi Marelisa, I wish my company had a nap room.

Hi Karl: I agree that a nap can do wonders, and it’s so much more refreshing than loading up on coffee, junk food, and soft drinks. I love that Intuit has a nap room

I would not have gotten through college without naps. I’m beginning to wonder why I ever quit taking them. Just because I now have a ‘real’ job I shouldn’t have to sacrifice looking ’sexy and refreshed.’

Mmm, naps. Love them. Definitely a prescription for working happier.

I’m not really a napper, but I like to take breaks.

We have a bunch of scenic walks around campus, from a fish pond to soccer fields to rows of Evergreens.

I do love a nap…only problem is I can’t wake up!

As usual, Karl, you are RIGHT on time. I just posted this vid on feeling super guilty for taking a nap yesterday: http://bit.ly/10daybody6 and now you’ve got me feeling proud of myself! Thank you so much!

Now–to build the perfect naproom!
