Nope, but I've been fired for not waking up to come to work!

I have. I work nights too, and the 3am to 5am time is the hardest for me. I have taken a little 15 minute nap while at the desk, I just usually let someone know that I'm going to.

I was working at a restaurant a couple of years ago and I was so tired from working 18 to 20 hour days (I was trying to get my business started) that I leaned against a post in the back and fell asleep standing up!

I have tried to sleep at work. I work the late shift in a technical job with trouble calls coming in occasionally. Usually just when I get tired and set down to sleep, a call comes in.

Yes, after putting in 12-14 hour days I have dozed. As a matter of fact, the phone rang and woke me up. Bright side, I own the business.

Yes. When I used to do night duty we had an hour long break and I used to sleep for about 1/2 hr.

It is pretty common. I work for Software company,I was given Most valuable performer recently. But i make sure that i complete my work and let some one know that I am going to sleep, and after my turn my colleague will go to sleep.
But make sure that you do not become notorious for sleeping at work.

I ran a photography darkroom for 10yrs. When the red light was on, nobody was allowed to open the door, so yeah... I had a few naps!
