You might’ve heard of the “Monday Blues” and how dreaded it is in corporate life. Believe it or not, one of the major reasons for this is lack of sleep.
It may not cross our minds while we enjoy the hell out of our lives over the weekend, but in the end, this sleep deprivation comes to bite us. Enough of the “reality checks”, all we want to know whether or not there’s a solution to all this!
We at Classplus have an idea that may come as a surprise for many. NAP AT WORK!
No, we’re not joking! Classplus literally has a “Nap Room” open for anyone who wants a much needed break from their daily hustle . Believe it or not, it helps!
Still not buying it? Well, we’re here with some of the biggest advantages of taking a nap during work.
Health Benefits
You’re not going to believe the sheer improvement that naps make to your health. Not to worry because we have that covered for you.
- Memory and Retention🤔: Studies have shown that taking regular and quality naps have increased the mental retaining capacity of individuals by almost 5x.
- Stress Buster😖: There’s no point in overworking yourself when your body doesn’t allow it. In today’s date where office work bleeds into the personal life at home, developing stress and anxiety (over missing targets) is not that uncommon. Amidst all this, getting a time to loosen up and have a sound sleep go a long way in dealing with said stress.
- Improved Functioning💪🏃: Studies have shown that even a good nap of 20–30 minutes in the afternoon can bring great results. People are said to show “improved motor functioning” and a “higher rate of alertness”, including improvements in hand-eye coordination, mental grasping power, etc.
Economic Benefits 💸💰
Though it may not be felt directly, allowing nap times for people working there actually could benefit an organization financially. That’s more of an indirect impact.
We believe that people deserve enough time to relax and NOT be bombarded with work for once, and we have felt the positive feeling it has left in our Classplus clan. This goes a long way in boosting the morale of individuals, and eventually contributes to work satisfaction.
Moreover, it’s a no-brainer that people who’re drowsy or nauseated are more of a burden on the company resources while giving an output that’s less than their true potential.
A dedicated time and place to nap and rejuvenate generally makes individuals feel more belonged and satisfied. Coupled with the improved physical and mental functions mentioned above, it ultimately brings out the best out of each person.
In the end, our investment in the Nap Room has been one we’ve never regretted. This could be probably because “Empowering Our Comrades” is one of our main priorities, and there’s nothing as empowering as a gold old nap. But apart from this, we believe that this practice has contributed to improve the culture here and the bottom line!
