On the evening news tonight we saw a report about more and more people falling asleep at work. They said that there’s an epidemic of Americans not getting sufficient sleep at night. Some “experts” are recommending not only that Americans try to get more sleep, but also that businesses give their employees a little nap break to help them with this problem. Our wellness program at the university seems to be helping many of us with issue. Anyway, this made me think of something to share with you about sleeping on the job….
