How do you guys manage your sleeping pattern ? Do you practice afternoon naps ?
I've noticed that for me taking a 25 min nap in the afternoon is perfect and helps with productivity.. otherwise I just drag myself throughout the afternoon / evening and can't get focused.

However my current issue is that I don't have the right environment to take a nap. Usually I leave home in the morning and get back in the evening.. so all day I am either at work, university or gym.
If I had a car, I'd just go to take my nap there after lunch (breakfast for me).. but I don't.

Anybody with a similar situation ? If you're not self-employed (which I want to slowly transfer into of course), do you take a nap at work ?
