this in turn makes them more productive.

　　An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a "naptivist"！ She says："I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it ... It's time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder."

　　So should we all be taking a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us? A few years ago, research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desks. That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed - and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace.

　　A nap in the afternoon is nothing new. In certain hot countries, such as Spain, a short rest or sleep in the afternoon - called a siesta - is perfectly normal. So maybe we should break from the traditional nine­to­five work culture and take up the siesta. The UK's Sleep Council claims that the nine­to­five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more sleep­friendly working day.
