是真的吗？揭开关于午睡的五个迷思

Fact: A handful of progressive companies have created special designated areas or rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce.

真相：少数现代公司为午睡安排了指定地点或房间，因为越来越多的老板认为，员工休息好工作效率才更高。你太困了？那就午休时在公园长椅或车里打个盹吧。

真相：无论你是否相信，有一种东西叫“咖啡因小睡”。正确做法是睡前喝杯咖啡或茶，睡觉时咖啡因慢慢开始发挥作用（在喝完咖啡约30分钟后咖啡因达到最佳效果），所以你醒来时就会感觉神清气爽。
