I’m not sure about the office, but I’ve slept in my car on road trips and during evacuations. It’s super uncomfortable, so maybe that’s the demographic that they’re trying to reach?
was going to say, car has 2 practical concepts, 1. you aren’t the driver (or are rotating drivers to keep on the road 24 hours). 2. You are homeless or in a position you can’t afford a hotel.
Now obviously office, not many good examples I can think of… if you are in a job that’s expected to sleep, you generally have some kind of sleeping setup (hospitals, fire houses etc…).
I used to work in a country where siestas are common, so it isn’t out of the ordinary to see people sleeping at their work desks during lunch. There are usually also sleeping rooms with recliners you can use.
In Japan, its infamously standard to sleep at one’s desk. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it’s the same in China.
I worked at a call center for a while, and it wasn’t common to need people to sleep, but during a particularly nasty snow storm, the CEO was trying to get people to sleep over at the office so they could wake up and take on extra shifts. (Not great, but we did answer for a lot of healthcare offices. Not really an excuse, but context.)
I have slept in my office, it’s not an abnormal thing in my field. Hell, in my current location I am (currently) laying in a ‘bedroom’ onsite, fashioned out of an empty office in one of our empty buildings.
