There's a New Trend That Has Employees Sleeping on The Job
It used to be that falling asleep on the job would get you fired, but according to U.S. News & World Report, now more employers are allowing -- and even encouraging -- workers to nap on the clock. Nancy Collop is the president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and she says that most people don't get the recommended eight hours of sleep at night. So a nap can be a lifesaver at work, and a lot of companies are now recognizing the benefits of letting their employees catch a nap. For example, studies show that:
• Naps give your immune system boost, so you're less likely to come down with a cold or the flu, which means you'll use fewer sick days.
• Napping can also put you in a better mood at the office, and during meetings with clients. It can also make you more productive.
• Another benefit of napping: Enhanced brainpower. Researchers say that napping can push employees into their most energetic and creative state of mind.
• Studies show that people who take a 20-minute nap every day are 37 percent less likely to die of heart disease.
Susan Bolotin is the editor at Workman Publishing -- which has allowed on-the-job napping since 2007. She says it's had a positive effect on her office because staffers who close their eyes for 10 or 15 minutes wake up feeling completely refreshed. Some companies -- like Nike, Pizza Hut and Google -- provide special reclining chairs or designated "renewal rooms" for power naps. Executives say that employees usually sleep during their lunch breaks and are on an honor system, so they don't tend to abuse the privilege. Other companies - like Time Warner and Yahoo -- go a step further: They outsource their napping to Yelo Spa, which customizes nap rooms with aromatherapy, quiet music, sounds of nature, and mood lighting. A 20-minute nap costs employees $15, and business is up 25 percent from last year!

I wanted to listen again to the 7/3 report you aired on how to help children have better sleep patterns , All I am able to get is the short on how to decide whether you have a cold or flu. i must say that it was informative but I am really trying to listen again to the broad cast on sleep. I remembered the part about having two alarms so that a child or adult can plan one hour to get ready for bed. The first 20 minutes will be for packing up and probably setting out clothes, The second 20 minutes is for hygene and the third is for reading . He also said that light is very iportant and that it should not be bright, since bright light sends a message to the brain that you shoud be awake, while dim light sends the message to your brain that it is time to go to sleepl. Was that all? If so..... good night
