This stimulation includes watching\/reading the news, commuting\/driving to work, completing your daily tasks, and heading home from work.<\/p>\n<p>Employers are required to give their employees sufficient time for \u201cbreaks\u201d to either refuel with caffeine or nourish themselves with a hearty lunch; however this break time does not necessarily provide any rest.<\/p>\n<p>Rest comes in the form of sleep and relaxation, and cannot be achieved by sitting in a loud food court eating a plate of Chinese food. By taking a nap in the middle of the workday, employees will experience an improved mood, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resumetarget.com\/blog\/how-weather-affects-employee-productivity\/\">performance, safety and productivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is precisely why so many corporations are now providing their employees with designated \u201cnap\u201d or \u201crejuvenation\u201d rooms to assist employees in maintaining alertness and reduced stress levels on the job.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cnap room\u201d phenomenon became incredibly popular in the USA, within companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ca\/\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nike.com\">Nike<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pizzahut.ca\">Pizza Hut<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/us.pg.com\/\">Procter &amp; Gamble<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.ca\">Huffington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is also buzz spreading north of the border with Canadian companies, like <a href=\"https:\/\/hootsuite.com\">Hootsuite<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.intuit.ca\">Intuit Canada<\/a> and Vancouver\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.providencehealthcare.org\/hospitals-residences\/st-paul%27s-hospital\">St. Paul\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, joining the ranks of companies who provide various services for employees on site \u2013 including nap rooms.<\/p>\n<p>For companies who don\u2019t have the square-footage to spare, there are napping salons that are slowly popping up to allow companies to outsource their napping as part of their benefits package.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.resumetarget.com\/blog\/a-positive-attitude-at-work-can-be-the-key-to-your-success\/\">Employee wellness is a hot topic<\/a> in the modern workplace, which triggered the introduction of massage therapy into employer-provided benefits packages after identifying the health problems associated with sitting at a desk for at least seven hours a day.<\/p>\n<p>The modern workplace also reflects the competition of the job market and employees are generally clocking more hours and getting less sleep \u2013 which can lead to high stress levels and medical conditions such as heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>Short periods of sleep (in the form of naps) are proven to improve alertness, memory, motor skills, decision-making and mood, and are therefore the solution that employers are turning to.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Resume Target, we got curious about just how popular naps rooms would be if they were introduced at all workplaces. We polled professionals on LinkedIn to ask them if they thought companies should offer employees nap rooms to boost productivity.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Results:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>58% voted \u201cdefinitely\u201d<\/li>\n<li>35% voted \u201cno\u201d<\/li>\n<li>13% voted \u201cundecided\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So the popularity of nap rooms isn\u2019t overwhelming just yet, but we\u2019ll admit that we do encourage power napping here at Resume Target headquarters in Toronto. Sometimes a quick snooze is exactly what you need to tackle the next project with the right energy, efficiency, and effectiveness to get it done right.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 col-md-12 mb-3 mb-sm-0\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 col-md-12 mb-3 mb-sm-0\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">\n     Get job search ready <b>fast<\/b><br \/>\n     <\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-center\">Open new career opportunities with our professional resume writing services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n             <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resumetarget.com\/packages-and-prices.php\" class=\"btn btn-md\">Get started<br \/>\n             <span class=\"ic-arrow-right-white\"><\/span><br \/>\n             <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Daytime naps improve cognitive function, creativity, and focus; companies embracing nap policies see productivity gains.
