| Comments | Napping is a great idea, it’s a kind of traffic control which slows your brain down. I encourage my staff to use our meditation room once or twice a day, put on some quiet meditation music, light the incense, lay back and nap out. When I slip upstairs myself for an afternoon nap himself, I get switchboard to give me a wake up call after about 15 minutes. |

| Comments | MetroNaps is a business devoted to napping in the workplace. MetroNaps leases hi-tech sleep Pods to corporate companies in order that their staff can take a 20-minute nap. Benefits of napping are numerous for the workplace as staff become more energised, increase their creative thinking and memory as well as generally being happier. The business was founded in New York several years ago where a nap store operates in the Empire State Building and just off Wall Street. MetroNaps Australia, apart from leasing its Pods to organisations, will be opening its first dedicated nap store in the Sydney CBD later in 2006. We also have a planned roll out around the country, including airports, from 2007. |

| Comments | I definitely agree with napping during work hours. I gave up having a regular job at 31 as I couldn't get through the day without a nap - I was having too many late nights out. I now work for myself and as I speak at early breakfasts or late evening functions I often take a nap during the day. www.goforyourlife.com.au |

| Comments | ?Productivity is about people feeling good ? and if my staff need to take a nap to feel good, that?s fine with me. I trust that my staff, so I?m not concerned that they?ll abuse their nap-time.? |

| Comments | If I?ve worked all day and need to go out and conduct training that night, I go into the board room around 5 pm and tell my staff that I?m not taking any calls. I lie flat on the floor with my head on a phone book for 10-15 minutes. Before I nap I feel as though ?I can?t be bothered?, afterwards I?m refreshed and ready to go, it gives me a second wind. |
