Re:Regular naps are 'key to learning'

I'd do the same when I drove to work!
I've joked about giving an Ignite talk about "guerrilla napping". Here in SF I love napping in Yerba Buena Gardens with th construction workers and homeless. When I lived in Manhattan I could get short naps in the cathedrals, by learning to doze in a posture of prayer.
During the winter, do you do the same thing but with the windows closed? Not sure how feasible this is for folks without a car.
I work remotely, and typically take 12 minute naps either during lunch or closer to the end of the day to recharge if I feel tired.
I would have to dress up and waste fuel to heat up the car. The felt temperature is -40 out there.
My main advice is carry a book. You can nap anywhere if you have a thick book in your hands. "Oh, sorry. I was reading but fell asleep!"
In the summer that is.
Our HQ office is quite remote, so if I drive 2 minutes, I can be next to the woods. I open all my windows, nap for 30 minutes with the sound of nature all around me. It's the best.
I can't wait for summer.
