Have you ever met anyone that claimed to hate napping? I don’t think they exist. Okay, well, I just choose to believe that anyone could hate napping, although my college roommate claimed that if she napped she would have to sleep all day long. Sure, when I nap I’d LOVE to be able to sleep all day long, but usually that’s not an option. Besides, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night then!

Anyway, last week I wrote a blog about my new standing workstation – but what about a napping workstation?

According to an article from ABC News, the reason people tend to get tired between 1 and 3 pm is not because you just ate lunch – it’s because of our biological make up. Skipping lunch or eating a smaller lunch probably won’t help. But a nap will!

Of course I’m not talking about sleeping while you’re supposed to be working – that’s not going to help anybody. I’m talking about catching a few zzz’s during your lunch break or even your afternoon break. I’m lucky enough to work close to home, so if I have a long lunch I can sneak home, eat quickly, and take a 15 minute nap. I’ve also in the past (before living close to work) grabbed a quick lunch or brought a sandwich from home, eaten in my car and taken a nap with the windows rolled down. I usually would like to drive to a park or something and find some shade, but if all you have time for is a nap in the parking lot – well, every little bit helps!

The same article from ABS News explains that napping can help with productivity – which I’m sure your boss will be more than pleased about.

The blanket I have for warmth in the winter (and sometimes in the summer) comes in handy for naps at work! As do my scarves and back support cushion!

Need an idea for a great, manly-man gift for Father’s Day? Try the Swingline Stack & Shred Autofeed Shredder. Not only do we here at BuyOnlineNow think it’s a great gift, but apparently so does the staff at the Time! They have a list of 15 Fantastic Gadgets for Father’s Day, and this shredder was chosen as one of them, being described as the type of suped-up shredder Tim Allen from Home Improvement might have created.

This might be the most excited I have been to write a blog post. Not necessarily because I’m excited to write my thoughts down, but because I’m excited for WHY I get to write this.

I have some fairly serious back issues for being in my early 20’s, and most of the time I’m fine sitting in my chair all day. However, once in awhile my back starts giving me problems and I would give anything to be able to stand at my desk at work. I also am trying to get healthier and in better shape, and I know sitting 8 hours in a chair every day isn’t doing me any good. That’s why I’m so excited about my new 3M Adjustable Keyboard Tray that I got installed at my desk this morning.

It took a bit of getting used to being farther away from my computer screens, but I just zoomed in on my screens a bit and it works just fine!

Another reason I really wanted to get a standing workstation is due to many different articles, blog posts, and studies I’ve seen about the benefits of standing at work and the problems with sitting for 8 hours a day. I’ve wanted a standing workstation since I started having my back problems, and these studies just gave me the kick I needed to make it happen.

One of the benefits of being 5’6” is that the keyboard tray raises high enough for me to stand at. However, if you are taller than me (which most people are) you still have options. You can get a Standing Workstation, and there are many options for sit/stand stations so you can still have the option of sitting.

I don’t know why I didn’t ask sooner. This keyboard tray had been in the office not being used for quite a few months, so it worked out perfectly! Who knows – there might be an extra around your office too! All you have to do is ask! J

Happy Friday!
