Eight hours a night isn’t enough, according to a leading sleep scientist
If there is one thing in this world I&#x27;d like to see, it&#x27;s the worker&#x27;s right for an afternoon nap: I really would become highly anxious if deprived long-term of my siesta.<p>I&#x27;ve been lucky in most of my environments to find somewhere to close my eyes and sleep for 10-15 minutes - I just need somewhere to lie down or recline and something to block the light: if I&#x27;m tired enough sound doesn&#x27;t bother me. Some people tell me they just don&#x27;t fall asleep quickly enough and don&#x27;t bother to take any time to rest, so it&#x27;s good to see the scientist here mention quiet-time and meditation as options.
