Study: Napping in the home office

Many employees use this Homeoffice I’d love to have one short restful sleep to insert. The German health insurance company Pronova BKK came to this conclusion after an online survey. According to this, last year 17 percent of the working people surveyed occasionally took a ten to 20-minute nap in their home office. Around nine percent said they did this often, while 13 percent said they did this rarely – and a good quarter (26 percent) never did.

The remaining 35 percent did not have the option because they did not work from home. Many of the professionals surveyed said they were significantly more productive after a short nap.

“A Power nap Ten to 20 minutes is an excellent way to start new ones To recharge your batteries and improve concentration“, explained consultant doctor Gerd Herold from Pronova BKK. “It is important to keep it short so that the night is not affected.”

It must also be clear: Outside of regular work breaks, snoozing during working hours is not permitted, as Nicole Mutschke, lawyer and specialist in labor law, explains in the fund’s statement. “In the break Nothing stands in the way of a short sleep.”
