We napped at my old DoD contracting gig.
They encouraged us to take a half hour nap if we were feeling sluggish/brain-tired as they knew that half hour of rest would buy a lot more development time than having the developers try to push through the last four or five hours of the day with a groggy brain.
I'm the type that ends up more tired after a nap, so I'd often leave the office if I had a difficult problem and just take a nice half hour walk. I'd usually come back with a fresh mind and a solution to the problem.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI'm the same type if I sleep in a bed - but a nap in a slightly uncomfortable position that keeps me from falling into a deep sleep does wonders. This results me in taking naps on the living room floor and feeling great and the girlfriend yelling at me about it, and taking naps in bed with her and waking up really tired and me yelling at her about it :P
