Seinfeld's George Costanza built a bed under his desk, but we'll tell you how to be a bit more subtle.

宋飞正传》中的乔治(george costanza)在办公桌下装了一张床。我们告诉你怎样做得更隐秘一点。

You Will Need

你需要

1. A spot to sleep 睡觉地点

2. An alarm 闹钟

3. And 20 uninterrupted minutes 20分钟不被打扰的时间4. Big headphones (optional) 大耳机(可选)

5. Steps 步骤

Step 1 Find a quiet place 寻找安静的地方

Find a place at work where you can sleep uninterrupted for at least 20 minutes—your office or cubicle¹, the backseat of your car, an underused conference room, the mailroom, under your boss's desk when they're away.

寻找能够不受打扰地睡至少20分钟的地方——办公室或格子间，汽车后座，闲置的会议室，传达室，老板不在时甚至可以用他的办公桌。

Major cities like New York now have nap pods that you can rent for brief snoozes.

纽约等大城市现在有午睡间出租，供人们简短地小睡一会儿。

Step 2 Sleep outside 办公室以外

Consider options outside your workplace: a department store with a nice lounge, the local library, a nearby park in nice weather. Just remember to keep your valuables under wraps or you could wake to a lighter² wallet.

考虑办公场合以外的地方：有漂亮的休息室的商场，当地图书馆，天气好时也可选择附近的公园。记住贵重物品要保存好，否则醒来时会发现失窃了。

If you're going to sleep at your desk, slap on some big headphones and turn your chair away from visitors; people will be less likely to interrupt if they think you're listening to something.

如果选择在办公桌上午睡，戴上比较大的耳机，办公桌背对来访者。如果他们认为你在倾听某件事，更不可能打扰你。

Step 3 Nap between 1:00 & 3:00 1:00至3:00午睡Take your power nap between 1:00 and 3:00, when energy levels are at their lowest. 选择1:00至3:00之间午睡，这时候精力最差。

If you're a light sleeper³, try snoozing under your desk. If you hear someone coming, just jump up and say thank God you found your contact lens, earring⁴, whatever. Remember to have the prop⁵ in your hand!

如果你睡眠很浅，在办公桌下打盹。如果你听到有人来了，可以马上跳起来，说“谢天谢地，总算找到隐形眼镜，或者耳环了”。记住，道具一定要拿在手中。

Step 4 Set an alarm 设定闹钟

Set an alarm. You want to take a nap, not wake up when the cleaning crew is vacuuming around your feet.

设定闹钟。你只是想小睡一会儿，而不想醒来时发现清洁工已经在你旁边打扫了。

Step 5 Check your appearance 整理仪容

Check your appearance before you resume work so you don't arrive at a meeting with bed head and chin drool.

继续工作前先检查一下仪表，这样就不会蓬头垢面地匆匆赶去参加会议。

NASA sleep researchers found that a 26-minute nap boosts work performance by 34%.

NASA睡眠研究人员发现，小睡26分钟可以使工作效率提高34%。
