Nap in Office

There exists a sacred, unsung bliss that exists even in your tubelight-lit office life: the afternoon nap. In a world of meetings, notifications and unrelenting emails, slipping into slumber at one's desk - or in a quiet corner - is both anarchic and poetic. A brief withdrawal from capitalism can do capitalism a world of good.

The postprandial recharge is one of Western civilisation's lost treasures - even as Eastern and Latin civilisations, where it holds on to their own, still value it. The air conditioner hum, the tilt of your chair, and the post-2 p.m. dip in pace at the workplace cast you to a restorative sea.

This isn't laziness. Smart people rightly call it a 'power nap' - 20-odd mins of shuteye can recalibrate creativity, sharpen decision-making, and transform a tired grunt into a gigabyte-sized worker.


And the post-nap return is glorious. Emails seem less threatening. The office coffee tastes, well, decent. Suddenly, that impossible project begins to look like a Sudoku puzzle waiting to be solved. And if anyone asks? You were strategically visioning.
