| Jul 8, 2014 at 5:21 | comment | added | Vietnhi Phuvan | @BoratSagdiyev I had a CEO who insisted on having weekly staff meetings where he go on and on in a monotone voice for 2-3 hours straight. Usually, he had me snoring within 15 minutes :) | |

People can go to many offices and see how zombified employees are after lunch and then tell me why sleep is not necessary. I understand that allowing sleep can hinder team activities, but its okay for lone developers or when there are no meetings. | |

| Jul 7, 2014 at 10:10 | comment | added | Vietnhi Phuvan | @JoeStrazzere Like it or not,The OP is already bringing the OP's sleep debt in the office. Better to deal with it than not. From the management's point of view, making some accomodation to help the OP manage their sleep debt and their energy level helps their performance and keeps their morale up. It's called enlightened self interest. I have seen time ana again a bunch of employees drag their butts after lunch and fumble their way through the afternoon because management was frowning on naps - Just because it's business as usual that many drag their butts after lunch does not make it optimal. | |
