Devoted nap-takers explain the benefits of sleeping on the job
Briefly

Napping during work hours in the U.S. is often stigmatized, despite research showing its benefits on cognitive performance, memory, and focus. Influenced by historical figures like Winston Churchill, many individuals sneak in naps to boost productivity, yet such practices conflict with a work culture that often perceives napping as laziness. Though accepted in countries like Spain and Japan, U.S. businesses typically frown upon it. Advocates argue that napping leads to rejuvenation and greater creativity, highlighting a cultural shift towards recognizing sleep's importance for health and productivity.
"They rejuvenate me in a way that I'm exponentially more useful and constructive and creative on the other side of a nap than I am when I'm forcing myself to gut through being tired."
