Are we all doing this now, because I’m exhausted by noon everyday. (TikTok screencap)
I got fired for this! Even though it was my lunch break, I was off the clock, and I have a chronic illness that makes working an 8-10 hour day exhausting, I was fired since I was "setting a bad example for the junior staff".
Guess who got an EEOC/disability settlement.
Nice
Fudge the number slightly and such to protect yourself, but what did you end up getting?
Asking for a friend.

We settled for wages at my previous salary for the time I was unemployed, the bonus I would have received, and the stock I was to be awarded literally the day after they terminated me. We think the latter two were the real drivers for my termination.
I wish break rooms with sleeping facilities were more common. A quick nap would be so much more helpful than a gallon of coffee.
Unfortunately we all know what they would actually be used for.
Sounds to me like we need another room.
Also a great way to decompress on a lunch break
It's a public facility for employees so I'm sure most people wouldn't try.
It's not a bad idea. In Romania and France I've seen beds in relax rooms, or unfoldable couches. They were quite a hit with employees taking a nap.
Getting raises?
a friend interned at a FANG company, fell asleep in one of the noise isolation pod chairs in the hall and missed most of a day.
he still got hired after his internship lol.
What if you drool a lot? asking for a friend
Just bring your own pillow
This is actually legally mandated in Sweden for all workplaces with more than 50 employees - there must be a room present with some kind of affordance for lying rest. It must also be possible to darken the room completely. Its stated purpose is to facilitate temporary rest for workers.
I didn't like my old job, but the one thing I really miss was having a full hour for lunch and being located directly next door to a park
I'd go hang my hammock up between a couple trees and set an alarm on my phone to take a nap, it was pretty damn great.
I genuinely don't understand how people can nap during a 20 minute break. I need two hours just to consider falling asleep. Unless I'm trying to stay alert, at which point I'll crash immediately, but only as long as I don't actively try to lie down and sleep.
I don't trust anybody who can shut down on command to not be an infiltrated cyborg.
My personal experience is if you try to nap every afternoon consistently at the same time, your body gets used to the schedule which allows you to get to sleep faster.
You don’t have to be fully asleep for a nap to be restorative. Even if you just lay there with your thoughts (NOT YOUR PHONE!) for 15-30 minutes it can be very beneficial.
If I'm really exhausted and feel like I'm gonna die but still have to work, I've found that a 15-minute nap is amazing for "taking the edge off" so I can become functional again. If I'm stressed enough I can even have some lucid dreaming happen, or awareness of my surroundings even tho I'm asleep (like sleep paralysis) which is almost as fun. Under normal circumstances, yeah it's hard to nap in under 20 minutes but I bet it'd become easier if I made it a habit.
I was a flight attendant in my early 20s. I had no set schedule and often worked really early or really late paired with multiple takeoffs and landings made sleeping on command a necessity. I can usually fall asleep within 10-15 minutes. Faster with airplane engine noise.
I've heard the same from a lot of ex-military folks.
My Japanese friends can all tap out and rejoin with what seems like on-demand sleep in any position or location for as short as a three minute window to nap. It's like some form of advanced meditation or self-hypnosis. I don't get it and I'm so jealous.
The image is of a health care worker. The missing context is this. It’s common practice for unused (not patient) rooms with recliners and such to be used for naps during breaks. Doctors have designated sleeping rooms they can use whenever, lunch or not. Nurses do not, so they get creative, even going so far as using equipment storage rooms if there’s a recliner in there, but can only sleep during their designated lunch break time.
This staff person appears to have a setup for napping in their car.
Rant time. Lunch breaks are a fucking scam. Hear me out.
We're made to believe that a mandatory 30 minute, unpaid, lunch is somehow a victory for workers rights. Tell me, do you really feel like you're taking a break from work in those 30 minutes? Or are you still thinking about work? Are you still in "work mode"? Well guess what, that's 30 minutes of you thinking about work and not relaxing that they are stealing from you. Your workday isn't 8 hours, it's 8 and a half hours. That 30 minutes isn't really yours, it's not enough time to get anything done. You don't agree? Go get drunk during your lunch break. Oh what's that? You can't because you'll face consequences at work? Well gee, sounds like that time doesn't actually belong to you then if you're not free to do whatever you want.
It used to be a job was 9-5. That's 8 hours. Total. You either had a paid lunch, or you ate on the job. But it was PART of those 8 hours. I don't know about you, but if I'm not getting paid for it, I don't want to be at work a second longer than I have to. I've had a few jobs that let me work through lunch and it was great, I could keep working and eat at my desk and I was out of the door 30 minutes before the rest of my co-workers. Jobs that force me to take a lunch are BS. I don't need 30 minutes to eat a sandwich, and the remaining time is NOT relaxing. I don't get to unwind from work. I am instead filled with rage that I'm just wasting time, not getting paid, in order to uphold the illusion that the company "values our time", when really they're just holding us hostage.
Mandatory, unpaid, "breaks" are just a form of wage theft.
You don’t agree? Go get drunk during your lunch break.
Bold assumption that I wasn't doing this already.
This is me working from home. My one hour lunch is just my one hour nap, if you quickly drink coffee before the nap, you wake up with a rocket up your ass
I used to work for Comcast at their corporate HQ. One day while walking around waiting for my Blackberry app to finish compiling (this could literally take upwards of an hour because every module incorporated had to be digitally signed by a different RIM server - sometimes it would never finish at all and I would go home) I discovered a sick room with a very comfortable long couch. I started taking 30 minute naps here and my post-lunch productivity skyrocketed. I made the mistake of mentioning this room to one of the Infosys employees and that was the end of my naps. That room was permanently occupied from that point on.
I eventually started pulling a George Costanza and sleeping under the desk in my cubicle, hidden by a filing cabinet and my chair with a crocheted blankie draped over it. Corporate hatred of naps is just so fucking stupid and counterproductive.
I feel called out, this is literally what I do during my lunch break with a camper bed set up in the back. I skip eating lunch altogether because a nap is more energizing than some food
Soooooo…. Who took the picture?
It's a Twitch stream. passive income.
I love naps. I used to nap in the office. Couch, beanbag chair, wherever. Now I work from home and grab a nap every other day. Fucking love it.
Yeahim 33 and i do this even if I have to sleep on the ground somewhere. I also have a bed in my car for the same reason. I feel amazing after 15 minutes
I lay down and sleep in a Smart Car during lunch. I am not short just very tired.
If I take one nap my circadian rhythm will be fucked forever.
After a certain age, waking up from a nap feels like being a malnourished bear slowly crawling out of your winter den on shaking legs and a confused, lethargic mind that only wants berries.
This makes me miss nap time at preschool. 
I used to do this at a previous job. The Break was 30 minutes. I once slept for more than 2 hours. Nobody noticed.
I do nap in my Breaks too. I think the world is getting more and more tiring..
