The language of productivity is now being used to advocate napping on the job

Anecdotally a 20-minute midday nap resets my state of my mind. Though it's not practical in the office, living close to work can make it possible.

I find a 10- to 14-hour day much more palatable with a break in the middle. I wonder if Jack Dorsey does something like that between Square/Twitter time.

Any time I sleep during the day I wake up feeling terrible and I can't entirely shake that feeling for the rest of the day.

I envy people who can nap during the day and wake up refreshed.

Try limiting your nap to 20 mins max. Anything longer and it's likely you'll enter REM sleep, and waking from REM sleep may be what contributes to this feeling.

Drink a shot of espresso and immediately go to sleep. It takes 20mins for the caffeine to percolate imto your system.
