I think the solution to all mankind's problems is that most of us are cranky from lack of sleep. I'll bet those people in countries which have planned siestas are much nicer to each other. Being a caffeine junky, I tried adding extra cups of coffee or iced tea in the afternoon, but it seems to have no effect on the mid afternoon droop and just makes it difficult to sleep at night.
If I could figure out a way to take a 15 minute to half hour nap about two o'clock in the afternoon, I would feel much better about everything. Of course, there's no room in my 400-square-foot shop to lie down, let alone nap, but I keep trying to figure it out. I am too old to put my head down on the table and rest (shades of grammar school in the 1950's), and not one more piece of furniture or equipment could fit in. I thought about a folding chaise lounge, but even folded up, it would be in the way. I suppose I could keep it in my van, and drag it in and out but that starts to seem ridiculous. I guess it depends on how desparate I am for that fifteen minutes of eyes closed.
I'm aware that if I do this, I will start to get phone calls and customer drop in's during that time. That could be embarassing--but maybe worth it. I am going to give it some serious thought, this afternoon, with my eyes closed--about 2 pm --don't call.
