One of the benefits of WFH is being able to just lie on my rug when I'm getting drowsy and take anywhere between a short (10-15 mins) to long (1-2 hour) nap. After that, I'll be razor focused for quite a number of hours afterward and not need another sip of caffeine for the rest of the day.

I take 15 min power naps during the day at work and encourage my employees to also. It's refreshing exactly in that way you said. I wish more companies encouraged napping. Better than a cup of coffee any day.

Its interesting you said rug - I much prefer laying down on my carpet in my office for a quick nap than getting in the bed or even on a couch and I'm not sure why.
I don't usually fall asleep that way, I just drift right to the cusp of sleep and then usually gradually wake back up but rather than fighting it I can let it happen and as a result I'm much more awake than I would be.
