Nap Time is Mandatory — Japan’s Corporate Snooze Law
At certain Japanese tech companies, it’s not just okay to nap at your desk—it’s required. “Inemuri,” the act of napping in public while appearing engaged, is considered a badge of hard work. Some firms have implemented structured nap schedules during the day to boost productivity, and employees are praised for dozing off, as it shows dedication.
This isn’t just about catching Z’s—science backs it. A short afternoon nap can improve memory, reduce fatigue, and enhance decision-making. Some offices even offer bunk beds or cocoon pods. Imagine clocking in and being ordered to snuggle up for 30 minutes. That’s some serious work-life balance.
