Gives me that little pick me up in the afternoon that i used to power through with LOTS of coffee. Down to one coffee a day now
Even though my son brings a lot of fun to mine and my partner's life, I have not felt well-rested since his birth, and feel impacted both mentally and fysically due to that.
At night i tend to get around 6 hours or so. I work from home and tend to find a 90 minute nap, as my (long) lunch break really works well for me. I eat my lunch whilst i work. This wouldn't work onsite, I'm sure, but it really works well for me. Gives me that little pick me up in the afternoon that i used to power through with LOTS of coffee. Down to one coffee a day now
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Has to be France
Nobody sleeps at the office in France, and his colleagues would find it very weird (weird but appealing, probably). Few people nap after lunch even at home, even in the south it's not a common practice anymore. It's a also quite uncommon these days to have your own office. Seems to me like it's more likely to be Spain.
By the way, I used to live in France. There I didn't nap often, but sometimes I needed to. What I did is to park my car in a quiet place and sleep there after lunch.

One coffee a day max is a good trick. Like all addictive substances there is a seriously diminishing return and eventual swing patterns as tolerance builds. One a day gives you the full effect and has a chance to fully leave your system so you don't require coffee to function. Coffee withdrawal migraine style headaches are a real thing.
Now my coffee machine glares at me each time in the kitchen, but just one in the morning is all i do now :) I buy some lovely beans and just make sure that ONE COFFEE IS GREAT!
I work in Academia. I sleep after lunch every day. I have lunch in 30 minutes and then I sleep 20 minutes. I have an sleeping mat and a pillow in my office and I sleep on the floor. It really boosts my afternoon productivity, specially now that I have a baby and wake up several times during the night. During the weekends I sleep a little longer. I've been doing this for many years and I struggle a little bit when in…
I am guessing it must have something to do with how fast you can fall asleep and enter deep sleep.

I wonder why it is, that some people can take a nap and feel refreshed. If I do it, I wake up WAY more tired than before going to sleep and will be groggy for a while. I am guessing it must have something to do with how fast you can fall asleep and enter deep sleep.
