New Delhi: It is an unsaid truth that we all feel sleepy at some point or the other during our work hours. Unlike Japan, ‘nap culture’ is not very popular in India. However, a Bengaluru startup shared a post, making it official about ‘nap culture.’
A sleeping solution startup, Wakefit made it to the headlines after its co-founder Chaitanya Ramalingegowda emailed its employees about officially taking naps during work hours. The company shared the contents of the email on Twitter which grabbed a whole lot of attention from the netizens.
“We have decided to normalise afternoon naps at work and declare 2 to 2:30 pm as official nap time for all our employees. From now on, you will have the right to nap between 2 to 2:30 pm. Your calendar will be blocked during this time as official nap time. We are also working towards creating cozy nap pods,” read the e-mail.
