power nap

Description

A power nap is a fleeting rebellion against the ever-encroaching thief called fatigue. A few silent minutes of slumber masquerade as an all-powerful restorative. Desks during meetings and coffee shop counters become the front lines of a battle for consciousness. We crave the brevity of rest yet awaken to an unfinished reality. It is a momentary, paradoxical festivity in the endless feast of tasks.
