India Declares “National Nap Day” to Boost Productivity

In a surprising move, India has officially declared a “National Nap Day” across the country, aiming to improve workplace productivity and mental health. Officials said the initiative will encourage employees to take a mandatory one-hour afternoon rest, while schools and colleges may adjust schedules to accommodate the change. Social media immediately erupted with memes and debates, with citizens questioning the practicality of the plan and joking that it might lead to “a nation of sleepers.” Analysts, however, noted that experimental studies suggest short naps can enhance focus, hinting that India may be taking an unconventional but scientifically backed step.
