For the last 8 years at work, I napped for 12-40 minutes basically every afternoon. I headed out into the parking lot and slept in the back of my car. (I bought the model I own after testing to make sure the back was nappable.)
My most productive, creative time was the hour or two in the late afternoon following the nap.
All my co-workers knew the deal and so did my boss. Nobody else napped, but my napping was normal and accepted.
The idea of giving that up if I ever go back to a "normal" butts-in-seats company seems stupid and uncivilized.
