I NEED naps. It's just how I'm built. I can feel my I.Q. going down when I need a nap. After a quick nap, my I.Q. feels much improved. Storytime: I once interviewed for job in Delaware. It was exhausting. I did great in the interviews, but my mind was burned out after all the technical questions. So I asked if they had a spot where I could nap for a few minutes. They were a bit puzzled, but showed me to a spot where I could sit in a chair and lean back to nap. It was great and I got the job - it wasn't till months later that they mentioned they almost didn't hire me because of the nap incident during the interview! So, I do recommend naps at work, but I'd say not everyone will understand if you nap at your first onsite interview. YMMV ;) Fortunately attitudes seem to finally be changing about sleep and brain optimization.
