Napping at Work?
A new study found that 1% of American business owners allow their employees to nap at work. 
This is the craziest thing I've ever heard of! Maybe because I can't nap for just 15 minutes, I'd be out from 11:00-2:00. We did get a few calls from people that are allowed to nap and rest. One was a customer service company that deals with mad clients. She has a "Quiet Room" at her work with recliners, yoga mats, and relaxation music. Another listener said her friend is allowed to nap on a lounger at her consulting firm. What do you think?
