Nap room. Seriously. I'm often dragging a bit by 3-4PM, between general tiredness and food coma from lunch. I'd love to be able to crash out for an hour or two, and come back to what I'm doing refreshed.
- acgourley 16y agoI actually find the the post-lunch coma to be really distracting and wonder if companies could benefit trying to feed their employees twice a day with a light late breakfast and then later light lunch.
- jbr 16y agoPivotal labs does this by offering everyone free catered breakfast at the start of the day. As I understand it, the motivation was to synchronize everyone's lunch hunger so half of a pair-programming team wasn't hungry earlier because they hadn't eaten lunch but their pair had. It also served to mitigate mid-afternoon food-coma somewhat.

(See Power Sleep, by James Maas http://www.amazon.com/Power-Sleep-Revolutionary-Prepares-Performance/dp/0060977604 http://www.amazon.com/Power-Sleep-Revolutionary-Prepares-Per..., or the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_nap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_nap). When you bike or take public transportation to work, you can't sneak a nap on your lunch break in your car. A nap room would be oh so helpful, and would dramatically aid productivity for sleepy employees benefiting from a power nap.
