God bless naps! I always say you need three months to catch up on sleep after working in the corporate world. I love naps. I have a similar lull around 3 or 4 and just indulging in the nap helps me so much. Loved how you framed all this, it is funny when the corporate “wellness” gets in the way of corporate “optics” as you said.

Interesting that the company went out of their way to get MRI-looking nap pods, but there was still a social pressure against using them. We know we need naps but our operating system (calendars/competition) prevents them. Maybe companies need mandatory pre-K nap laws- cut the power and sleep at your desk. Good to hear in the end you got your nap back; feels like an "anti-productivity" hack that actually makes you more productive.
