I don't think the bathroom is so dumb. I'm embarrassed to say this but years ago I used to go into the handicapped bathroom (unisex) and lay on the floor and set my phone alarm for a 10-15 minute snooze. I was just so tired I had to recharge and it was the best option.

I work at a retail shop and am the weekend manager (I only work weekends). I regularly take naps out in the storeroom during my shifts. Once I even brought a pillow into work for some extra comfort.

The longest I've ever slept was for 2 hours, but I was working with a girl I get along well with though, so it didn't matter.

There's nothing better than waking up after a nice nap only to realise you were getting paid to dream about Angelina Jolie!

In the jobs I've had where I was really busy and valuable to the company I could get a blanket and pillow and take a nap whenever I wanted.

In jobs where I had nothing to do and was bored all day I couldn't get away with sleeping.

A guy I work with sleeps at our desk (Our hours are 7am-5.15pm....although he normally gets in @ 8-8:15.) its a disgrace and although he does it every day, all he is doing is ruining his reputation and I personally think its a disgrace...

Don't do it if you value your job/career etc..

under the desk, using knit cap as pillow.
wear dark clothing.
strategically situate chair and waste basket to hide
head and provide camoflauge.

works for me.
amazingly, no one has ever seen me,
although i don't make a habit of it,
only on occasions where i'm plumb
exhausted.

most people just take a cursory glance
into the cubicle to see if you're there.

sleeping in the chair would be bad
because someone would inevitably come
and try to talk to you and discover you.

I may actually have some sort of mild Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, if that sort of thing can happen in degrees, because my whole life I've dealt with bouts of exhaustion.

Wow I definitely have this too I think, I'm seriously tired constantly, no matter what I do, how much I slept, etc.

Hey, I used to have this problem, too, would almost fall asleep not just during work, but several times during my typical commute home, too. Went to the doc, got these, problem solved:
