The benefits of napping at work for employees
Are you one of the 19% of French people who take a nosedive during the day? For Doctor Eric Mullens, somnologist: “Taking a nap meets a natural need in the middle of the day. It's part of our rhythm. For what ? Because it helps combat temporary fatigue, which is very normal in the middle of the day, or compensates for poor quality sleep.” Moreover, he affirms: even after having had a good night's sleep, a nap may prove necessary: “It all depends on age and activity. But in any case, taking a short nap can’t do any harm.”
For this specialist, the nap only has advantages. Particularly in the world of work: Everyone needs to rest after a meal. Especially in business, because people get up early. A rest phase therefore allows you to boost your efficiency and be more alert and more attentive. Without forgetting the health benefits, since it helps stabilize the heart rate.
