Recently, I have read many articles focused on napping at work, which many say leads to an increase in workplace productivity. Teacher napping during the instructional day at any school seems impossible but I do believe a built-in nap time similar to Pre-K programs and nurseries would be beneficial to students and would increase achievement. I have attached a link to 2013 TODAY article that shows some companies' 'energy pods' for on-the-job relaxation/napping: http://www.today.com/money/nap-rooms-encourage-sleeping-job-boost-productivity-1C8881304
I've always thought adults should have "rollover" naptime minutes that were unused from childhood :). The research from this week's article might just be the brain-based boost my idea needs!
