Looking for a way to get more done with fewer employees? Nap time might help.
Though it’s usually thought of as an activity for preschoolers, 34% of adults take naps on any typical day, according to a new survey by Pew Researcher. It could even be considered a path to success — 33% of folks who earn more than $100,000 a year admit to napping regularly.
More employees should give it a try, according to John Baldoni of the Harvard Business Review — and, he says, more employers should let them. Baldoni says quick “power naps” of 15-30 minutes can make employees more energized, creative and productive.
Of course that’s often tough to do in an office setting — especially around managers who won’t react favorably to the site of an employee sleeping.
