I am rubbish at getting up in the morning, so thank god I don't have to start work until 10am otherwise I would never make it in on time. See, I love my sleep. I need my sleep. So when the clocks go forward, like they did on Sunday, and I'm left deprived of that crucial extra hour, it throws me cruelly out of sync. Which is why sleepers like me will welcome the news that it is, apparently, National Nap at Work week, designed to help us with the challenge of adjusting to British Summer Time (oh how we love an obscure National something-or-other week).

They've been doing it in the US for years, although they only get a National Napping Day rather than a whole week (ha). This year there were organised sleep-ins, while last year some companies hired violiniststo serenade their employees to sleep and others hosted "napathons".

In the old Guardian offices we had a cosy "quiet" (read: "sleep") room complete with mellow mood lighting, a heater and a range of chill-out CDs – the perfect place to catch up on some emergency Zs without anyone noticing, and much more comfortable than napping in the toilets, which is what one colleague's friend admits to doing.

In our new offices there are loads of sofas scattered around, but it would be impossible to curl up and take a nap since they're all in public view. Perhaps management should invest in a state of the art Energypod, where you can fall asleep to ambient music before being blissfully woken by soothing light. Far better than slumping behind the computer screen or overdosing on coffee to try and force yourself to stay awake.

After all, better a well-rested employee than a tired one who will be less productive, less engaged at work and a greater safety risk, according to Metronaps, the "fatigue management" company behind Energypods.

Some companies in the UK have taken naps to the next level: the Feel Good Drinks Company has a ReadyBed installed in a quiet corner for 20-minute power naps. Apparently, employees come back to their desks with their creative juices flowing again and a smile on their face. The best part is that, come summer, we'll have another legitimate excuse to sleep on the job again – only this time it will be for National Siesta Day.

In the meantime, where will you go for your lunch time snooze? Or are you the kind of person who scowls at the likes of me as we battle to keep our eyes open?
