I wanted a nap so badly yesterday. I considered curling up in a ball under my desk but we work in an old building where there have been cockroach sightings so, no. </p> <p>But when I was 22 and working at one of my first professional jobs, I totally got busted for falling asleep in a dark control room where I was pretending to read email. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304779 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 07:35:16 +0000 Mamaof2 2304779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: and you? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304775 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 07:31:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2304775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah - in my first trimester I've napped in my car and booked a conference room. And once I had a cold and took some cold medicine (not while pregnant) and had a crazy reaction to it - I was super wired and hyper for about an hour and then completely crashed. I was so wiped out I lay down under my desk and fell asleep. Luckily I had an office with a door back then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304677 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:58:40 +0000 jhd 2304677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: yes I also never found my prep time to be relaxing</p> <p>@DesertDreams88: that's a creative way to get in a rest during school! I agree I would not be able to sleep in a faculty lounge like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304634 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:49:41 +0000 MrsF 2304634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - definitely not an option - and I work overnights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304622 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:36:50 +0000 DesertDreams88 2304622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher and due to extreme first trimester fatigue and now some sciatica here and there, I purchased a camping cot and set it up in my "back room." Since there are no cabinets, closets, or storage options in my teaching room, instead, I have a "back room" that is about 8ft by 12ft. I've rested on the cot a couple times during lunch. One of the other teachers takes power naps during his prep period / lunch, since they're back to back. But he sleeps in the back area of the lounge and I just couldn't do public sleeping like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304618 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:29:17 +0000 Chuckles 2304618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: I mean, I guess if you really wanted you could nap during a prep period (if you have them) but usually there are a jillion things to do then that relaxing would be impossible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304615 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:24:48 +0000 jhd 2304615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: same here although there were rumors of a teacher who used to go to the library to take naps :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304611 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:21:22 +0000 Chuckles 2304611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher, so nope! (Though there was a teacher in elementary school who used to nap every day when we had recess) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304581 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:02:22 +0000 Silva 2304581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnant: yes. I worked at an agency as a counselor. Brought in a pillow and blanket and took naps on the floor during down time. Also fell asleep on the toilet once.</p> <p>Non pregnant: now in private practice, with a couch in my office. Client no shows? Snooze time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304575 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:57:19 +0000 Keybee 2304575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, accidentally a few times, and some purposeful car naps. I've done it pregnant and non pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304570 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:51:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2304570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell asleep on the way to a site visit while my boss was driving. Praying I didn't snore. First trimester fatigue is real! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304567 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:49:05 +0000 Ms. RV 2304567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No :sad: It is grounds for reprimand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304563 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:45:37 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2304563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have napping rooms at work 🙌🏻 cheers to using it daily during the first trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304552 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:35:10 +0000 daniellemybelle 2304552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but when I was pregnant I had very detailed daydreams about it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304484 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:01:08 +0000 wonderstruck 2304484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not an option.

My office is so quiet, in the back of the building, and that 2:00pm crash hits hard.

If I have to leave my office in my car, and I get back in what I think was good time, then I will nap in my car for even just 10 minutes in the parking garage! And when my no one is around my office, sometimes I put my head down and set my alarm! I just like sleep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304415 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:02:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2304415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh yeah!

I was working weird hours and a couple of times I locked myself in a bathroom and napped sitting on the floor. Kind of gross, but I couldn't stay awake any more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-at-work#post-2304397 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 15:26:05 +0000 BlueWolverine 2304397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just now.
