Maybe the issue isn't that we feel guilty. I can certainly nap anytime without feeling guilty... unless... I'm doing it where other people can see me and at times when they would think it abnormal. So, I don't nap in the office during the day because my staff would see it as setting a bad example, but I have no problem with 'couching out' in the evening or at the weekend and the family gives me space for that. What I am saying is that the feeling of guilt isn't caused by napping, but by being out of step with a cultural norm. I read about 'power napping' and the executives who claim it makes them more potent in their work, but they seem to be the exception rather than the rule and presumably, they have office doors they can close and pet dragons to enforce the 'can't be disturbed' rule. This way they avoid being caught out breaking the cultural norm they would fire their employees for! Alf Adelaide 50 <1 48 -
