Today is Public Sleeping Day
Nasa researchers say company bosses should allow their workers to fall asleep at their desks.
Studies have shown that performance increases by 35% if employees take a 45-minute "power nap" in the afternoon.
Scientists says the Mediterranean-style siesta should be adopted by any business looking to increase its productivity. The nap even improves the ability to judge business decisions correctly by 50%, it's claimed.
Nasa carried out the research to find out how best to make use of astronauts' time in space. But they also found the same was true for office workers with less glamorous or demanding jobs.
Mark Rosekind, of California-based Alertness Solutions, told The Times: "It is a false myth that if you spend more hours awake you are more productive."
