We may not want to believe it, but the research shows that naps and vacations lead to an increase in both the quality and quantity of workers' output. Researchers found that "sleeping too little"– defined as less than 6 hours each night– was one of the best predictors of on-the-job burnout. A Harvard studied showed about 63.2 billion in lost productivity to U.S. companies. Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project and author of "Be Excellent at Anything," writes about creating a business around "the power of renewal." He gets his corporate clients– large companies like Google and Coca-Cola– to create "renewal rooms" for their employees where it's ok to take a nap or relax, or even meditate.
