    I had a job last summer at a "multi-level marketing" (bleh) place where the work was sleep inducing. My desk was facing a corner and I got away with some good 20 minute power naps with my chin resting in my hand. People only seemed to stop by to "see what I was doing" when I was doing graphic work. It was then that I figured out that if I opened up a page of code full screen, no-one would bother me the whole day.
    I would fall asleep with one hand on the mouse and my head perched in my hand "looking at the screen". From behind it probably looked like I was thinking.

    I only lasted a couple weeks more at that place before I had to get out of there. Leaving that place was the best move I've ever made career-wise so far.
