The firm, which specializes in online mattress sales, is officially blocking its employees’ schedules during this official nap time, allowing staff to lie down for half an hour between 2 and 2:30 pm.

Like the four-day work week, the office nap is an eternal subject of debate in the workplace, and the ultimate illustration of corporate wellness.

Indeed, according to several studies, including one by NASA, a nap of 15 to 30 minutes can improve alertness and performance at work.

Other companies before Wakefit have adopted similar strategies. At Google, dedicated rooms and napping areas have been part of the organisation for years. PwC and Uber have also installed nap booths or specially equipped rooms.

In his internal email, the Wakefit CEO also announces that he is working on nap pods and quiet rooms to create “the perfect nap environment” for his employees.
