I have to say the biggest dissapointment of returning to work is that midday naps are out. They were such a natural part of life while traveling. Ironically if I had a car down here I could make it happen...

Come in Vietnam to work - here, such midday naps are customary !

Tell your boss about power napping:

Power nap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Institute of Mental Health funded a team of doctors, led by Alan Hobson, M.D., Robert Stickgold, Ph.D., and colleagues at Harvard University for a study which showed that a midday snooze reverses information overload. Reporting in Nature Neuroscience, Sara Mednick, Ph.D., Stickgold and colleagues also demonstrated that "burnout" irritation, frustration and poorer performance on a mental task can set in as a day of training wears on. This study also proved that, in some cases, napping could even boost performance to an individual's top levels. The NIMH team wrote "The bottom line is: we should stop feeling guilty about taking that 'power-nap' at work."[3]

Without undue unauthorized disclosure, I'm certain some of great experts on this subject post and comment right here on ET.
