  • The ladies of “The Real” weigh in on whether it’s okay to take a short nap at work, and wait until you hear Tamera’s brilliant suggestion for when you get caught snoozing! What do you guys think?

    I got fired from the best job of my life because of this. I was falling asleep uncontrollably. Turns out that I have SEVERE sleep apnea, and have probably had it for years. That means for years I was never getting any sleep. It was so bad that my body skipped the first two stages of sleep, and automatically went into REM sleep just to try to get some adequate sleep in between my apnea attacks. I'm getting treatment now, and my life is so different now. I used to have to take several hours long naps after work. I couldn't stay up too late when I would be out. I was always tired. I would fall asleep uncontrollably even while standing! I would pass out while doing sedentary things especially movie theaters (there's 100 people who still hate me today for snoring loudly through the last Spiderman movie). I so want to contact my old company, and ask for my job back, but I'm way too nervous to do so. I know they'll say no. All of my symptoms are gone. I don't need to take naps anyore. I don't fall asleep uncontrollably anymore. I'm not as tired. Getting help with my health issue really changed my life. Anyone who snores should get checked! Even if you don't snore get checked.

    I've fallen asleep a couple a times on the job but thankfully no one caught me. But I usually take naps during my lunch hour. Fortunately only one of my bosses is okay with it. If the other one isn't in the office, I just clock out and go take a nap :) Both me and my other boss have the mind set. it's my hour, I'm off the clock, not getting paid I should be able to do what I please with that hour. But sadly not everyone sees it that way. -_-

    I am from the Caribbean and I don't know of any island taking siestas!!??? France and Spain do siestas.... maybe Central America...? As far as I know, during business hours we have an hour for lunch during which time offices tend to run on skeleton staff. This skeleton staffing is likely to operate for two hours because the staff on the first shift need to eat too. If anything, you might be referring to the Spanish speaking countries in the region which definitely does not speak for the entire Caribbean.

      Dominican Republic is one I can think of. Where I am from everyone there gets a 1-2 hour lunch break, including students, to go home for lunch and a nap, usually beginning around 12. Those two hours are sacrosanct and its frowned upon to visit someone or call around that time.
