I used to work for Comcast at their corporate HQ. One day while walking around waiting for my Blackberry app to finish compiling (this could literally take upwards of an hour because every module incorporated had to be digitally signed by a different RIM server - sometimes it would never finish at all and I would go home) I discovered a sick room with a very comfortable long couch. I started taking 30 minute naps here and my post-lunch productivity skyrocketed. I made the mistake of mentioning this room to one of the Infosys employees and that was the end of my naps. That room was permanently occupied from that point on.
I eventually started pulling a George Costanza and sleeping under the desk in my cubicle, hidden by a filing cabinet and my chair with a crocheted blankie draped over it. Corporate hatred of naps is just so fucking stupid and counterproductive.
I used to do desktop support for a hospital and at one point we were using an empty suite for storing hardware during a PC refresh so I had a key for it. There was still furniture in there so I also used it as my office when I wasn’t running around. It was really nice because there was a couch I could nap on and no one ever went in there so it was quiet. My boss didn’t care because he could always reach me on my cell.
