Whether in office, or when working from home, do you ever sleep at work? If yes, how often?
I have had quick 5-10 minute naps many times at my old in-office job. It was a very small company. Some days there were only 2 of us in one of the cabins, so it was pretty easy, she was okay with it. Sometimes, if she had to ask me something and found me taking a nap, she was like, nevermind, you can go back to sleep. Since she sat near the door, she would alert me if one of the bosses is coming around.
Here’s a meme, btw…
I have narcolepsy so it’d happen uncontrollably, usually when sitting still without talking or moving. Like in a large meeting or presentation where I don’t have an active part to play. Sometimes a sympathetic colleague would nudge me awake. Somewhat career limiting but I was stuck with it for 30 years. I started on medication a year ago and it has been much improved.
wfh
like every other day at lunch I have a short nap. dealing with stupid shit is exhausting
Never
Not as often as I think about doing it.
My job is engaging and active and I enjoy it. And due to the nature of the job, I get paid more the busier I am, so there’s no incentive to goldbrick.
When I was in the Army all the time. Hell it is insane where GIs fall asleep.
I used to work in a special needs shelter as basically a night watchman so I would sleep in the office all the time.
At my current job, not much.
When we had a couch at the old office I used to have a nap in it during the afternoon coffee break.
Only once, but they caught me and I got fired for being “wildly irresponsible”. It was just for like 15 seconds, the bus barely went off the road.
Fuck these billionair bus company CEO’s. They’re all like “we’re a family” when they want you to work overtime, but they’re like “you’re fired for almost killing 50 children” when you take a much needed nap the next day.
I’m one of the worst employees ever when I work for someone but that is surprisingly something I never got to do
Well im not getting a raise this year…so yes…a lot.
I would when I ran out of work to do. Whenever I was told off for it, I told them just to give me more work to do. Haven’t fallen asleep since
I dont.
While an apprentece when i was switching medication i did fall asleep once, got told off and it was super emberessing
I’ve slept once and been caught. Everybody laughed because I was watching one of those online courses.
WFH lunch naps have saved my soul.
Technically, being a truck driver, I sleep at work every day. There’s a mattress right behind my seat.
Most of my trips these days aren’t long enough to warrant pulling over to catch some shut-eye, but I’ve been that desperate in the past. Never on a highway shoulder though, I’d always try to be safer than that.
The vast majority of my customers will load and unload my truck for me, so usually, once I back into a dock door, it’s nap time.
Not.
