In Japan there is a word for something that quietly happens in offices all over the world:
Inemuri means “sleeping while present”. It refers to briefly dozing off while sitting, whether in a meeting, on the train or at your desk. The body rests, but officially you are still there.
🥱 For a long time, Inemuri was seen as a sign of dedication because you were “working so hard that you fell asleep sitting up”. Today it is closer to a power nap that helps you get through a long day.
