Sleeping at work
posted Monday, April 04, 2005 - 11:40 AM (#26514)
Yeah, so, I'm going to try and sneak in a nap before my boss gets to the office - he's not going to be here until after 12.

POLL: Do you sleep at work/school?
 
27% (6) There's absolutely no way for me to take a nap while working or at school.
 
13% (3) I usually sleep well so I don't need to.
 
18% (4) Sleep? What's this "Nap" that you speak of?
 
4% (1) I take my nap at lunch.
 
36% (8) I don't have a conventional job or go to school, so I can do whatever I want whenever I want to do it.
22 people have voted in this poll. (This poll is not active.)

Monday is the only day I'm dead, I'm up at 3.30 to get a flight, blah, blah.

I was just getting to the [quote]I am now dead[\quote] point and thinking of leaving, it's 5ish, when I saw this. Good timing.

I'm so tired, I'm off to the pub...

I went for the bottom option, but to tell the truth I usually nap during seminars. Nothing like a dark stuffy room and a droning neurophysiologist to put you to sleep.

It's really just the professor's research into the effects of sleep or lack thereof.

Ken Breisch was an art and architecture historian, not a neurophysiologist, there's no research in what he was doing.

As I'm the one giving the seminars, sleeping isn't an option for me. And since I hate teaching in dark stuffy rooms, my students don't get to sleep either.

It's with all the other options I wish I could have used. There should be an option to add more options when creating the polls; that's just a suggestion really - there are intelligence starved forums all over the internet that don't even get to create polls.

I work with a guy that sleeps in his car at lunch. But I also worked with a guy who would sleep on the toilet. One day I was sent to go look for him as he had been gone for some time. I found the stall he was in and banged on the door yelling his name. His legs had gone to sleep and when he tried to get up he just feel to the floor with his pants down around his legs. He wanted me to help him (Yeah like I was going in the stall with guy on the ground.) but I was just laughing way to hard. As more people came in to see what all the racket was about it became quite the show!

It's 3:30am. I'm currently extremely sleep-deprived from about a week of very little sleep. I have a class at 8am. Therefore I will be sleeping at "work" tomorrow.

I hate my life.

I had a horrible, horrible problem with sleeping in class all through college. Even if it was a very interesting class with only 6 people in it, I would doze off. It was embarrassing.

Amazingly, now that I get 8-9 hours of sleep a night (in college I was convinced that 6 was enough), I don't have that problem anymore.

I have come to believe that the perpetrator of my poor sleeping habits is none other than my mattress/box springs. It doesn't seem to matter how long or little I sleep; I always have to force myself out of bed in the morning. I looked at sets the other day and wasn't too thrilled that it's going to cost me quite a bit to get a good nights rest.

Getting a good matress/box springs pair is something everyone desreves to do, though. It's very much worth it, no matter whose soul you have to sell to get it done.

Or a futon. They're not just for dorms anymore.

Get a nice firm one. My mom actually made ours when I was a little kid. I'm not sure futon-making is easy to do.

My most recent one is store bought.

May I encourage you to buy yourself a futon cover if you do get a futon, as there is no easy way to clean a futon. You can learn that the easy way, or the hard way. The nice cotton surface of the futon soaks up things like a sponge, so either get a futon cover or don't eat spaghetti in bed.

Except then you need a good futon mattress, from my experience. Most futons grow rapidly uncomfortable without one. At least every one I've slept on that was used frequently had been uncomfortable.
