japanese people to take naps at work. it still feels very wrong, like they re slacking off. i wanted to solve that issue. i think here it may be easier for someone to take nap among people they don t know. one japanese manufacturer has even addressed the issue of space or lack thereof. it may look like a phone booth, but this is the giraffe nap pod where you sleep standing up. translation: i use it once every day, but i try - to let my employees use it too, during their lunch break. by standing up, you take some load off your back. i always tell my friends i can sleep anywhere, even standing up. this is the first time i m actually doing it. one big challenge facing the power nap champions is society s reluctance to change. tempting as it is, dozing off even for a little bit, still feels like a big leap forjapan s infamous work culture.
