Feeling A Bit Nappy

December 11, 2006

I've been rather busy trying to finish up school stuff and so I've been getting a little less sleep than normal. The result is that I drift off to sleep in odd places. Like at my desk. Every now and then I will bounce awake and realize that I'm sitting at my desk. This is fine when no one is around, but what happens when you get caught taking a little nap at the ole desk?

Top 15 best things to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk:

15. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

14. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to."

13. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper."

12. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!"

11. "This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!"

10. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance"

9. "Actually I was doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan"(SLEEP) I learned at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend."

8. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory towards people who practice Yoga?"

7. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."

6. "The coffee machine is broke...."

5. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot."

4. "Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!"

3. "Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!"

2. "I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up my contact lens without using my hands."

And the #1 best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk:

1. "Amen."

Hi, power naps are extremely effective. Instead of going out for another cup of coffee or caffeine-laden soda, try a fifteen minute power nap. You will feel more rested, more energetic and you will be in a better mood too. Not to mention more productive. Besides all this good stuff, a power nap adds to your cumulative sleep, which helps lessen stress. Did you know the biggest impediment to getting a good night's sleep is stress? So go for that power nap whenever you feel like it.

John here tried to SPAM my website. Trying to sell some napping items. Shame, shame, shame, on you! You should be ashamed of yourself.
