Having a kip in the car at lunchtimes

[shaunbhoy]

Have you tried cracking one off?

Edit: not in the car at lunchtime, obviously.

Why ever not?

I really think rooms for power naps are so important, in another bank we used to have a kind of a first aid room where people sneaked in for a nap if they are jet lagged or something.
The other option is use the prayer rooms/multi- faith room, most big organisations would have one, and in fact any one including meditating Buddhist can use these rooms to meditate.

I used to work for a big financial which had a few examination rooms with doctor's beds, pretty much every day for a year I would in there having a kip, it was when xbox live just came out and I was up every night playing rainbow 6. There was a do not disturb sign and would crash out for an hour or so. Nobody every came in but I would have just said I had a headache or something.

I got so used to it that my next contract was a nightmare as there was no where to sleep. I was seriously considering kitting out the disabled toilet with a hammock, move the roof tiles back at the corners of the room and permanently fix 2 hooks to the wall, then the hammock could stored above the ceiling and the roof tiles put back when not in use. The snoring was always the big worry.

Any slight chance I ever had of getting contract work out of this forum is totally gone now.

I cannot power knap. But many moons ago when I did my university placement there was another student at the same placement who was doing that full-time and had another eight hour night job.

He'd have four hours before coming in and then at lunch we'd go to the restaurant. It was an hour break back then, and he sidle off for 30 minutes and power knap on a sofa. In the afternoon hed also do a 15 minute snooze.

Ive never seen anyone before or since who could on demand just snooze. It was like a switch he turned off and then his alarm went like 'In Like Flynn' and he was bolt upright. Weird.

I can never get to bed early, anything before midnight and I just can't sleep and end up with less actual sleep than if I had just waited till I felt properly tired.
The only exception is if I'm either ill, drunk or so tired I can't think straight.

Whs

That is because there is no such thing as power knapping.
