The post is shared on the official Twitter handle of Wakefit Solutions, the startup that came up with this idea. “Official Announcement,” they tweeted and shared two images. One of the pictures is a screenshot of an email from the company's co-founder Chaitanya Ramalingegowda. It documents how the company has decided to normalize afternoon naps. “From now on, you will have the right to nap between 2:00 to 2:30 pm. Your calendar is blocked during this time as official nap time,” reads a part of the email. The other image is a banner by the company documenting the details of the new policy.

Take a look at the post:

The post prompted people to share various comments. “Perfect,” wrote a LinkedIn user. “This half an hour NAP converts one day into two quality working sessions. You people are going to set new trends in market. Keep it up,” shared another. “Truly progressive,” commented a third. To which, the company posted, “we are trying to take a giant (s)leap!”
