Every workday should include a nap, a study says. "It estimates that sleepiness on the job costs the nation's businesses about $18 billion a year."
Well, duh. I've long advocated the siesta for its health and productivity benefits, although I've had no data to back me up. I often take the bus to lunch, and take the opportunity to catch a few minutes of shut-eye followed by a nice, invigorating walk. Somehow, though, I just don't see employer-endorsed naps happening anytime soon, especially within the State. I can just imagine the headlines.
"Headlines." Hmph, as if people read the news. It's the TV news teasers that would be killer.
