How often do you sleep at work? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Whether in office, or when working from home, do you ever sleep at work? If yes, how often?

I have had quick 5-10 minute naps many times at my old in-office job. It was a very small company. Some days there were only 2 of us in one of the cabins, so it was pretty easy, she was okay with it. Sometimes, if she had to ask me something and found me taking a nap, she was like, nevermind, you can go back to sleep. Since she sat near the door, she would alert me if one of the bosses is coming around.

Here's a meme, btw...

I need a CPAP to sleep, so naps are basically impossible for me

But at a past job doing tech support at a web hosting company, where I was still new and assigned to the night shift, it was just me and another guy who was supposed to support me, and be the acting manager.

At night we'd be lucky to get more than one or two calls, and maybe a handful of live chats, so we'd mostly do tickets all night.

Well, I would. He would curl up at his desk and sleep for 7 hours, then speed through a bunch of really easy tickets (that he'd botch) in order to have respectable metrics.

There were others in a different department who knew about this, so on at least one occasion, they drew a penis on his forehead while he slept. Even though our boss saw this, the slacker wasn't fired, as he was one of the few who actively wanted the night shift.
