In a new humor column in D.C. Registry, Daryl Lease takes a look at
companies--including Nike and Pizza Hut--that encourage their workers to
doze off while on the clock.

"When employees start, we make sure they know the nap room's available,"
says Cory Levenberg, president of 42 IS, a computer consulting firm in
Berkeley, Calif.

Levenberg recently told U.S. News & World Report that about 70 percent of
his employees use the

workers to pencil in their nap time.

few Z�s when their 
energy is spent."
