Times being what they are, it's not advisable to take a nap on the job. Unless you work at Remedy, a branding and marketing firm in Chicago that has created a "rejuvenation room" for stressed-out employees to shut the world out for a half hour at a time. The room has a massaging sleep chair, fuzzy slippers, blankets, dim lights, aromatherapy, a sound diffuser and "water features." The agency focuses on health issues, and Carol McCarthy, who runs the place, is a former nurse—so perhaps it's not surprising that she's attuned to how unproductive workers can be when they're overtired.
