i know people at larger firms that lock themselves into bathroom stalls and do a little napping.

post-lunchcrapnapism?

i have a friend who locks himself in his office and sleeps on the floor under his desk

rookies....

The way you did it in high school, now for work...
this is what you do...
You layout the plans on the drafting table with one of your hands cradling your head while the other has a pencil in the other...

just got up from my office sponsered nap

okay that didn't make sense.
one more try...

you lay out the plans on the drafting table with the one elbow on top of which will cradle your head. The other hand has a pencil in it which makes it seem as though you are doing redlines or something creative.

Napping is the bathroom stall is the 'safest'. Just make sure you don't walk out with an imprint of your watch on your forehead.

i guess that's the safest, but most of the office will believe you have a recurring case of the hershey squirts.

I second the pen in hand sleeping method. Also, wear headphones but do not have them on. You can play off not hearing because the music was up. That might be frowned upon as well, but the lesser of two evils.

And there is something a little creepy about sleeping on the toilet.

I've went to the garage and napped in my car. Doesn't seem so bad considering all the time spent there by our smokers.

I used to keep a towel in one of the plant rooms in the basement. Just a wee lie down now...

I go to my car, recline back the front seat, put on the shades ( inspite of parking in a basement parking....) blast the AC and snore away for around half an hour or so..

My boss locks his office and naps at the time. and the Document control guys have actually made a nice lil den in their section.

supposedly best use of a nap is to drink a cup o coffe then take a 10-15 minute snooze. gives you a better caffeine buzz than just sloggin the stuff down.

I wish I had time for a nap. I have little time to even sleep as it is! Napping ain't an option.
