> Nap time adds to productivity
Amen to this! I pushed for, and saw implemented, a dual nap room for our studio. It was used around the clock by people stretching, meditating, and napping. I found a huge productivity spike taking out 20 minutes a day.
Then, we hired a bunch more people for the upcoming launch, and it was re-purposed into a storage room for old rack hardware (I pushed against this, but was told it was a temporarily unavoidable allocation for the space... meanwhile, the dedicated Lego room sits unused 38 hours a week). So we lost the nap room right as we enter our year of crunch.
Boggles the mind.
Ah well. Have an interesting read on recent research into the commonality of four (rather than two) chronotypes (which I'd used in laying out my position): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886919303071 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019188691...
- sloppycee 7y agoMost children stop napping around four years old. Maybe there's a deeper problem at your job if people need a nap room. Just get more sleep at home, you're not being paid to sleep. btw, a 'dedicated lego room' sounds like another symptom of a toxic infantilizing culture that eats confidence and breeds reliance.
