According to a Dr William Anthony from the USA, who wrote a book “The Art of Napping at Work” with his wife, sleeping on the job can actually be beneficial to both you and your boss! Well, of course not sleeping for 8 hours, but a short nap of about 20 minutes will help to increase alertness and overall productivity in all of us. And this energy spike can actually last several hours.

While this sounds like good news to many of us, I’m sure our bosses would not agree. :( They would think that we’re just being lazy instead. How many of you actually feel sleepy after lunch? It’s really strange but my eyelids will start to drop at about 3pm everyday, like some flag lowering ceremony: Negaraku~! :D So if we’re not allowed to take naps at our tables, how do you deal with the sleepiness? Some of my friends drink kopi (kopi doesn’t work on me), some will take a quick jalan to the photocopy machine or toilet break, but for me, I like to keep my mouth busy… by stuffing it with food! LOL! It can be simple Tic Tacs, chocolates or sour plums. Those can really wake me up!

What about you? How do you slay the sleep monster at work or in school?
