Title: Sleeping At Work Considered Good
Post by: Hadrian on 05/03/2009 22:28:37: Sleeping At Work Considered Good

A town in Germany has discovered that sleeping while at work has
increased worker efficiency. The small town of Vechta which is
situated southwest of Hamburg, have allowed the workers to take
a nap for 20 minutes. They can go home or doze off at work
after lunch. "In the beginning employees were skeptical about
the project, but then they were happier and they started working
better." said town spokesman Frank Kaethler. This project
started because their was a lot of work that needed to be done
and not enough employees, so they received a course from the
local health insurance company on napping. It has been found
that 22% of the German population naps but the town of Vechta is
the only one that has implemented the project.

I moving there next week....................... [;D]

Post by: Karsten on 06/03/2009 02:28:04: I found a German article online about that town. They say it is called "power napping" and is common in the USA for years. I did not hear about that here. It is supposed to be good for your spinal cord and to avoid mistakes. I believe it. I used to nap during my internship in Germany. During my lunch break that is. It felt pretty good. I still often pull over when driving home to take a nap. Especially in the winter. I get tired when it gets dark.
