Sumario:We evaluated the frequency of naps and features of nappers who took a nap in a Power Nap Center located in downtown area of São Paulo. Company database was retrospectively analyzed and 4.625 naps were evaluated (January–December 2014). Most naps (57%) lasted 30 min. 33% of subjects took a nap more than once a week (73% male). Progressive growth in the number of naps across the months was observed (January=110 to December=505). Results suggest that the society is sleep deprived and taking a nap during the day could be an important strategy to improve quality of life and increase productivity.
