First, not all companies have the finances of Google. Then, offices are still busy when you take your nap.
I do mine, in the open space and there is always conversations or movements around, but after a few minutes I don't hear them anymore.
Usually I put a 15min alarm and wake after 12min, sometimes I need 30min.

There's a few things in American culture, in particular, working against it though: our backwards cultural attitude that sleeping is considered "lazy" (USA is one of the most sleep-deprived population) and the fact that working on little sleep is falsely considered a "badge of honor," even though the occurrence of mistakes made by workers is MUCH higher when said workers are sleep deprived.
