Sleeping on the job6/16/2023 But I’ve made it a point to schedule a half-hour chunk marked “Busy” at 2 p.m., at least every other day, so no one dares to disrupt this essential, deeply personal time. Of course, I don’t label it as such in my work calendar - I can’t have my co-workers think I’m sleeping on the job. ![]() It’s been a lifestyle ever since.Īt this point, nap time is the most precious portion of my day. I awoke charged up like Drake, with a second wind that allowed me to power through the rest of the day and even get a jump start on the following day’s to-do list. ![]() It didn’t take much: I simply spread out on my couch and powered down for a quick 20. On an easygoing Wednesday, with an afternoon devoid of Zoom calls that could’ve been emails, the caffeine crash hit like an avalanche of drowsy (or a large bite of the wrong kind of brownie). I’ve got a zenned-out morning routine, no hectic commute, cost-effective and tasty lunches courtesy of my own kitchen, and, perhaps most importantly, a semi-weekly workday tradition: the midday nap.Ībout a month into WFH life, I inadvertently discovered the power of a good nap. ![]() And while the early days of the pandemic found me longing for more IRL human interaction, I’m already feeling wistful for the days of working from home. With vaccinations steadily rolling out around the United States, my company is beginning to introduce a plan for employees to return to the office. I just hadn’t realized how much I’d dread it.
