My employer allows napping, but it takes a bit of work to fit it into our agile development style. Obviously, it's poor form to nap during a scrum. You might miss something important, or you might awaken refreshed but with your name on all the crappy assignments. Most problematic is pair napping. What if they other guy/gal isn't sleepy? We try to pair based on skill level and circadian rhythm, but not all employers go to that length. When done correctly, pair napping is much more productive. The other day I was having a pre-nap daydream and my partner (I'll call her "Lisa" so you won't think it was a dude) suggested that I close my eyes. I did so, and I fell asleep a lot sooner. Sometimes a quick suggestion like that will spare you minutes or hours of wasted wakefulness.
