Sleeping at work - Page 4

Horrible idea, but:

Go out to your car, park it away from everyone else and sleep.

If you sleep at your desk and get caught just say that you were up all night sick and didn't want to miss work.

Is leaving your office an option? A few times I would leave and nap in a garden bench across the street or travel to the post office to pick up a package.

Just send an email to George Costanza. Ask for his carpenter to build you a bed under there.

If your just going to sleep when your boss isn't there sleep in his office.

Are you telling me that you guys seriously don't have nap rooms?

I asked my boss to install a nap room (converted a barely-used meeting room) and I usually use it after I get back from lunch. Go in there for an hour's power nap and feel refreshed

at my old old job we had nap room (legally it was called the lactation room), it was awesome. Table/chairs and a futon couch (this was for a large company too). While everyone was yapping away and stuffing their faces for an hour, I'd sleep. The great thing was, my boss always went to lunch at 1pm with his wife for a good 90min...so I'd goto lunch at 12pm and sleep till about 1:30pm everyday. It was AWESMOME.

I've been busted sleeping in my boss's chair in his office and didn't get fired. But that was at a small businesses back in the days when I was up all night on acid all the time.

Now that I'm corporate, if I was too tired to make it through the workday I would just call in sick, sleep ten hours and give them a good day of work plus an hour or two extra the next day.

I used to work at Leslie's (swimming) Pool Supplies. During the winter it was extremely slow and I would spend probably 2-3 hours/day sleeping in one of these right on our sales floor:

If you lay a floating foam mattress down it's super comfortable.
