Society has been duped in thinking they need coffee to stay awake. People need good sleep, occasional naps and that's it.

- fastbeef 7y agoSince becoming a father, I’ve started taking naps when feeling low on energy and let me tell you, that stuff is incredibly powerful. I lie down in a dark room with a timer set 40 minutes into the future, drift off and reappear with my energy meter glowing.
- alexchamberlain 7y agoCan you do that at work?
- fastbeef 7y agoWhen working from home - sure. A previous employer had a resting room that you could book in Outlook and it was almost always free.
- carlmr 7y agoI think most people know this, but naps aren't accepted in the workplace. I function much better on 6h at night and nap after lunch than 8h at night, but society forces me to stay awake after lunch. I've even thought about looking for remote jobs, just to be able to have an afternoon nap.
- mirekrusin 7y agoThat's why we invented remote work.
- CMCDragonkai 7y agoAs the boss of my own company, I've made naps acceptable.
- cryptozeus 7y agoHave you heard of nappuccino by dan pink ?
- jerome-jh 7y agoIf you avoid bread, pasta, rice and potatoes in favor to beans, peas, lentils and vegetables, the after lunch energy dip is much less pronounced. You also tend not be hungry in the middle of the afternoon.
