If I didn't love the U.S.A. so much I'd totally be moving to France! The fact that they have 35 hour work weeks and much more generous vacation time on average is tempting enough, but now health officials are looking into the benefits of sleep on work performance and, get this, the possibility of paid nap time at work.

Are you serious? A nap break? That's awesome in theory, but I wonder how that would work exactly... Instead of "break rooms" they'll have "nap rooms," with grungy beds all kinds of people are sleeping in at different times? Or maybe everybody gets a comfy reclining chair and the office goes quiet at a certain time each day?

Seems easier to just shorten the work week a little more, and maybe promote a start time of noon across the board. Every day can start like a Saturday, wouldn't that be awesome?
