I was shocked to read in a 1800mattress.com survey that 38 percent of Americans fall asleep at work. A New York Times article finds that sleep deprivation costs U.S. businesses nearly $150 billion annually in absenteeism and lost productivity.
Do you take a cat nap at work? If so, how often?
Does a nap rejuvenate you for your afternoon work or just make you more groggy? How does sleep deprivation affect learning or mastering of new skills?

I have taken a "power" nap at work when the resources have been available, i.e. a couch in the ladies room. It did help, I didn't worry about oversleeping since, obviously people would be coming in but I can usually tell myself, "Sleep for 10 minutes" and I wake up. It was nice to get a little extra sleep, it really did help me bit I didn't do this everyday.
