I agree that the onus to improve people's lives should not be solely on external forces. We can be independent enough to figure out ways to - as in this case - get a nap somewhere during the day.
It is still valid to point out, though, that the structures of society heavily influence our behaviours. I remember years ago afternoons struggling through the hour after lunch, physically fighting to keep my eyes open in the office. It never occurred to me then that there was a solution other than the coffee station. Some direction from work, and a culture where a nap was encouraged would have helped the younger me a lot.
That isn't blame, or complaint. But thinking only of how I can get around my society's lack of awareness of napping is a little individualistic. Why not look to improve the structures as well?
