This Is The Peek Nap Time…

According to a new poll, more than a quarter of people can’t get through the work week without a nap during work hours.

A poll of 2,000 adults found peak nap time for tired people strikes at 9:39 a.m. with as many as 65% saying the urge to nap strikes before noon — and most commonly on a Wednesday.  

For 39%, it takes three to four hours into a workday before they want to nap, with 26% even having brought a pillow to their workplace.  

Results also found pregame naps are essential to people’s social lives, according to 46% of respondents.

That may be because some events are simply more tiring than others. The top three that wear people out the most? Sports games, street fairs and festivals.

And over a third admitted they’ve fallen asleep at an event due to inadequate sleep the night before.  

However, 62% are likely to miss an important occasion such as a wedding or job interview because they were napping or sleeping.
