Supposedly melatonin-infused (among other things) patches, sold on Amazon. If I were to fall asleep at the office, I sure wouldn’t need any help with that. In the car though… scratches head
I’m not sure about the office, but I’ve slept in my car on road trips and during evacuations. It’s super uncomfortable, so maybe that’s the demographic that they’re trying to reach?
was going to say, car has 2 practical concepts, 1. you aren’t the driver (or are rotating drivers to keep on the road 24 hours). 2. You are homeless or in a position you can’t afford a hotel.
Now obviously office, not many good examples I can think of… if you are in a job that’s expected to sleep, you generally have some kind of sleeping setup (hospitals, fire houses etc…).
I used to work in a country where siestas are common, so it isn’t out of the ordinary to see people sleeping at their work desks during lunch. There are usually also sleeping rooms with recliners you can use.
In Japan, its infamously standard to sleep at one’s desk. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it’s the same in China.
In japan its considered a sign of hard work to fall asleep at the office.
oh I would be their CEO by now
Slam one in the car and race to your destination before you fall asleep.
I currently live in Taiwan and I can tell you that napping in the middle of the day is sometimes required. As early as grade school all the way to college and even some jobs require you to nap.
It’s the culture to nap.
Working for Amazon will put you in both of these positions
Car: road trip with breaks, you want to sleep a couple hours at a rest stop but it takes forever to fall asleep because as soon as you stop the car you feel wide awake again.
You got me on office tho, maybe it’s for those people who power nap at lunch?
Napping at the office is something I wish I were able to do (I can’t really fall asleep ‘on demand’). I believe it’s common in Japan to sleep while commuting due to their hostile work culture. In the southern European countries it’s customary to have a mid-day nap, though I don’t know if you’d have at at the office.
Also: Just because they’re symbolising ‘office’ with a desk and chair, that doesn’t mean they expect you to sleep there. But if they showed a dedicated rest room (bad choice of words), no-one would think ‘office’.
