room to nap...

I have always been a great napper - especially a wee siesta straight after lunch 😪
Before the stroke, a quick 20 minutes shut-eye would do the trick - I'd return to my desk with renewed vigour ready to hit the next manuscript (I was a freelance copyeditor/proofreader). Nowadays, it's more likely to be one to two hours (especially after hydrotherapy)!!

There's ongoing research into the power of napping, of giving our brains time to pause, to power-down, to recharge... I think a quick walk outside can have a similar effect - to clear the head, to fill the lungs (hopefully with fresh air), to give the eyes something else to look at other than computer screens and paperwork.

What do you think? Are you a napper, a walker? Should our work-places be more flexible, more accommodating to what helps people work smarter, rather than insisting they put in the long hours regardless of whether or not they're productive?
