Focus runs out before the day does
2 to 3 Hours
of focus is lost per employee,
every working day
The afternoon energy dip is biological, not a personal failure. No amount of caffeine can fully fix it. Pushing through fatigue is a quiet cascade: higher error rates, degraded work quality, and eventual burnout that drives your best talent out the door. As hybrid work evolves, employees lack a place to rest at work.
Decades of science confirm the cognitive benefits of naps.
A 26-minute nap improved alertness by 54% and job performance by 34% in working pilots.
Napping significantly enhances memory consolidation, cognitive performance, and alertness.
Structured rest is already happening at Nike, Google, Ben & Jerry's, and Zappos.
A reset built into the workday
Napp is a workplace recovery programme that gives employees access to guided rest sessions during the day. Each session helps people disconnect from their environment, settle quickly, and return with more clarity.
Not a nap pod and not a meditation app: a structured session, the hardware to deliver it, and the data to show it worked.
How it works
A short, personalised nap, timed to how your body actually recovers.

Napp recommendations
Measurable impact
Real data to manage recovery like any other measurable business input. The employer dashboard gives People Ops and CFOs the exact evidence needed to justify investment, track recovery, and retain talent.
Example Napp employer dashboard. All figures are aggregated and anonymised:
- Absenteeism down 32 % — 70 fewer absence days since Napp, from 4.1 % in the baseline period to 2.8 % now.
- Perceived focus scores up 50 %.
- Wellbeing scores by department, matched self-reports on a 0 to 100 scale. Mood: HR 76, Operations 71, Sales 68. Clarity: HR 82, Operations 64, Sales 73. Focus: HR 59, Operations 78, Sales 63. Memory: HR 71, Operations 88, Sales 74.
- Usage by department, Monday to Friday: sales teams lead the board.
- Perceived mood score up 26 % — improved mood after napping, 52 before a session and 66 after.
Anonymised. Privacy-safe.

Rooted in sleep science
Sleep happens in distinct stages, each with its own biological purpose. Napp specifically targets light sleep (NREM Stages 1 & 2), keeping sessions to a calibrated 10–20 minutes. This gives your brain and body a full system reset so you wake up immediately clear, sharp, and energized without any post-nap grogginess.

Department.

What napping actually does
-
Restores cognitive performance
Supports executive function, mental clarity and better decision-making, making complex tasks easier to solve.
-
Alertness
Bypasses deep-sleep inertia, so employees return immediately alert and ready to resume work.
-
Locks in memory
Triggers brain activity involved in organising information, consolidating memories and maintaining focus.
-
Accelerates execution
Supports faster, more accurate execution of tasks involving movement and coordination.
-
Physical recovery
Gives the body time to reset, easing muscle tension and slowing the heart rate.
-
Reduces stress & regulates mood
Lowers cortisol levels, the main hormone linked to stress.
We are actively validating workplace recovery in collaboration with leading academic institutions and researchers.
