I knew it was good for me
Should you happen to share your home with any animal, you will have noted that a great deal of energy is spent in the structure of sleeping. Seriously, try to find a pet that doesn’t “own” the most comfortable bed in the house, and that doesn’t make the best possible use of time and place. There may be a reason; animals aren’t “born lazy”.
In the workplace, sleeping is actively discouraged. Seen as unproductive. Against the rules. Even though we are forced into wasting an hour a day for meals not eaten (in passing, I’d dearly love to have those two months added to my vacation time.) I have found a workaround this workplace rule; since I’m not a member of the Ninety Minute Club, I try to fit a short nap into the allocated downtime. After all, a bowl of soup stretched over one hour is bound to be a chilly snack.
Today’s news carried the results of a medical study in Greece that shows a strong correlation between daily naps and lowered risk of heart disease. Finally, scientific support for my practice. I have opted for napping in an office chair. Not comfortable, but better than standing up in the corner (it hurts when your head hits the wall during naptime). Now I have evidence that my requested hammock is an aid to workplace health. I wonder if the budget will also cover a blankie and pillow.
