You probably don’t nap while at work. And for good reason: Your boss probably wouldn’t appreciate it. In reality, napping might make you — and your fellow employees — more productive. A recent story on the Lifehacker Website by health writer Melanie Pinola takes a closer look at the advantages of napping on the job. Perhaps you can show the story to your boss the next time you would like a post-meeting snooze.<\/p>\n
