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. [/ QUOTE ] dude....nasty |

Re: Sleeping at work
I seriously cannot believe no one has said this, but:
If they catch you sleeping, say that you lost your contact and you were trying to put it back in without your hands. If necessary, say your hands are dirty so you cannot use them. Otherwise they will still laugh and say "Ok you are funny we will not fire you" * *Disclaimer: I am 19 and have never had a job. But I figure my advice is expert still. |

Re: Sleeping at work
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! |

Re: Sleeping at work
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. |

Re: Sleeping at work
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.. |

My back faced the door. On occasions when I showed up hung over as hell, I would throw Radiohead mp3s on and just sit facing my computer screen with my eyes closed. I would enter into a trance-like state of near sleep without actually dozing off. It was relaxing, not as good as sleep, but a good alternative when you can't pass out with your head down on your desk. |

Even better if there's a light sensor and if you keep still it goes dark after a few minutes! |

Re: Sleeping at work
we have a frickin huge sleep room at work, like 500sqft. It has two big leather recliners and a couch, plus a bigscreen tv and an xbox.
I remember at my old job we had this big lab of computers. One of the guys would get sleepy and go between the server racks where all the cables are tangled everywhere. He'd lay down on those cables and have all the computer fans blowing the warm air on him and sleep. We'd have tours come through our lab and somebody would have to stand at the end of the racks to block the view if this dude sleeping. |

Re: Sleeping at work
I used to work nights shift at a call centre when for Nokia tech support. barely any calls during the night so we'd always sleep of course. blankets, pillows and zzz right under the desk. There was never a supervisor on the late shifts so just set the alarm an hour before the next shift to play it safe.
Our cubicles were also right next to the Toshiba department who only worked 9-5 I also brought my PS2 regularly and we'd hook it up to the bigscreen TV they had and play games until tired. awesome way to get paid |
