Why install a nap area in your company ?

In our hectic daily rush between work, commuting and family obligations, stress and fatigue can quickly build up. How can we offer our bodies a moment of express recovery to regain vitality and productivity?

Try the power-nap !

Let’s follow in the footsteps of the great thinkers. Einstein called a nap his “little gymnastics”, which helped him solve problems. Salvador Dali, for his part, used to doze off in an armchair with a spoon in his hand, and when the spoon fell over, he’d wake up and start painting. This power-nap increased his creativity tenfold. Napping for a few minutes in the middle of the day has many virtues.

the benefits of power-nap

The power-nap, which consists of relaxing for a very short time (from 1 to 20 minutes), has many benefits: it increases employee productivity and creativity by 35% according to Nasa (May 2015); it also improves attention and vigilance capacities. Power-nap reduces the risk of fatigue-related accidents in the workplace. It reduces stress and blood pressure, improves the quality of night-time sleep and restores balance to the nervous system.

No more than 20 minutes!

To be effective, a power-nap should preferably be taken between 1 and 4 p.m. so as not to disrupt the night-time sleep cycle, and should not exceed 20 minutes, as beyond this we enter the deep sleep phase.

So, are you ready to adopt this practice and install one of our recovery chairs in your company?
