Do the Japanese sleep at work?
This article explores the phenomenon of sleeping at work in Japan, a culture based on hard work and dedication to one's job. It is surprisingly common due to long hours and high expectations placed upon workers, as well as stress, lack of sleep and social pressures. Research suggests that taking short naps throughout the day can improve productivity levels, though it can also lead to decreased morale among co-workers. Employers should strive to create a workplace environment that encourages employees physically and mentally by providing adequate breaks throughout the day.
