i love sleeping. it's something i'm good at. there's nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the tv and when my head hits the pillow at night, i have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. there is one place where i never snooze and that's at work - but new research suggests i should!

the idea of you and your colleagues heading off for a lie down in the afternoon may seem odd, but some companies such as google and the huffington post actually encourage it.

this isn't because their employees are insomniacs – people who struggle to get to sleep at night – but because it's thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more alert, and this in turn makes them more productive. but will this idea catch on?

an australian health writer called thea o'connor is a ¹ 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 embrace it… it's time to disrupt the ² work ³ 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 desk. that suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed - and the agency has called for companies to install 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 ⁴ - is ⁵ normal. but my problem with having 40 ⁶ in the afternoon is that i usually fall into a deep ⁷.

but maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and embrace the siesta. the uk's sleep council claims the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more sleep-friendly working day.

what do you think? would you feel comfortable going to sleep in the office - or do you secretly do it already?!
