For those wondering how to nap at the office and not get hauled into the managers office for sleeping on the job, I paraphrase a tip from Scott Adams (Dilbert):
"Grab a handful of paperclips and find an office/meeting room. Shut the door and lie down on the ground with your feet against the door. Sprinkle the paperclips in front of you. Now have a nap.
If someone tries to enter the room, the door will hit your feet. This will naturally cause them to pause (and stops them entering), it wakes you up and lets you reach for the paperclips which gives you a ready excuse ("Oh sorry, I was just picking up the paperclips")"

- fedd 15y agoi wanted to share my experience how i napped at work in a big company but found this far more interesting. i just went outside and slept in a car. in a big company noone notices you if everything works, and it did because i was good worker ;)

- josefresco 15y agoWhat about sleeping under your enclosed desk? and maybe building a small shelf to hold an alarm clock... /end lame joke

- johndoie 15y agoI can relate.
- bh42222 15y agoPaperclips? I'd use actual papers, make it look like they spilled on the floor and you are picking them up.
- anujkk 15y agoI saw my senior sleeping with his eyes open. He was looking at monitor but wasn't doing anything. It appeared as if he was thinking about something. Only when I touched his shoulder to get his attention, I realized he was actually sleeping.
