Deborah Weitzmann explores whether a quick nap break at work could make us all more productive.

We head to Beijing where an employee tells us about her lunchtime ritual of napping beside her colleagues, and we\\u2019ll discover how the pandemic may have helped squash the stigma of sleeping in Western workplaces.

Kate Mulligan, the boss of RestSpace, a company that designs innovative spaces to help people nod off at work, shows us their sleep pods. Also, Dr Guy Meadows, co-founder and clinical director at Sleep School, tells us practice makes perfect when it comes to napping.
