Are you in favor of allowing workers to take naps while in their workplaces?

Question

I don't mean sleeping on the job. I mean a structured nap time, mandatory or voluntary, designed to help workers rest and work more energetically.

A number of employers have adopted this practice, including some major railroads, which routinely have crews take naps while trains are parked on sidings waiting for other trains to pass. Long-haul truck drivers are required to get rest time while traveling.

In France there has been a law proposed that would force employers to give their employees nap breaks.

How do you feel? I'll just lean back and close my eyes while I'm waiting for your answers.

Answer 1

I would not feel comfortable sleeping at work, no one can force anyone to sleep and I think it is a waste of time for some jobs,like mine where I am office based and am not likely to cause any accidents through lack of sleep. I see the practicality of naps in jobs such as long haul drivers, but I'm a receptionist, and all it will do is add more time to our working days, to make up for the breaks.
