The Shabbat nap is an important part of Orthodox Jewish practice - I've recently read some essays on its spiritual and physical importance. I can see how extending the concept into the work week could possibly make sense. When I was just out of college in the early 1980s, one of the first contracting jobs I had involved working out of my house from 12-4, twice a day. I would sleep from just after 4AM until 11 or so, have a light meal, and then start work. My coworkers were available via phone if I had any need to collaborate. At 4PM I would quit and go where I was going for the evening, usually beating the evening rush hour. Around 10 or so my friends would be ready to quit for the night, and I would go home. At midnight I'd start work again - in these days before personal computers I got faster response time on my 1200 baud modem when no one else was on the system.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-58365">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> What an interesting idea!
