Naptime

Today I was jetlagged. Yesterday wasn't bad but today it really caught up with me. I was practically sleep walking until at least 10:30 am.

So...I took a nap at work. And I'm not talking about laying my head down in my cube for a few minutes hoping that nobody walks by (not that I would ever do that). It's "wellbeing week" at the office and they are promoting all types of healthy habits including naps [to increase productivty]. So, you could sign up to test out sleeping pods for a 20 minutes nap!
It's very "Mork and Mindy" looking but it was pretty relaxing. They slid a viser around to cover the front of the pod and had relaxing music playing in Bose noise-canceling headsets. Voila, 20 minutes of relaxation in the middle of the office! A company called MetroNaps sells them and puts their own in certain locations. If you go to their locations you have to, of course, pay to use them. I'm not sure if I'd pay for it myself but if someone provided me with one at work I'd definitely take advantage of it!

How cool! I think ALL companies should have those! : )

My friend in Michigan gets time each week to exercise on work time in order to keep up her health and wellbeing. She works for the state. Must be nice!

That is really cool. I wish my company would get one of those.
