Sleeping at Work Ben was a young office worker who loved staying up late. He often played video games until midnight. He watched the clock as it ticked past his bedtime. Every morning, he woke up feeling tired, but he thought coffee would help him. One morning, Ben arrived at the office with dark circles under his eyes because he didn’t sleep enough. He grabbed a large cup of coffee and sat at his desk. His task was to prepare a report for an important meeting at 3 p.m. Ben started typing, but his eyelids grew heavier with every word. By noon, Ben couldn’t fight it anymore. He decided to take a short nap at his desk. "Just five minutes," he whispered to himself. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and drifted off. However, five minutes turned into an hour. Ben snored softly as his colleagues whispered and giggled. They didn’t want to wake him because they thought it was funny. One co-worker, Lisa, even took a picture of Ben sleeping with his mouth wide open. At 2:50 p.m., Ben woke up suddenly. His heart raced as he saw the time. He still hadn’t finished the report! Ben got into a panic, He quickly typed some sentences to fill the pages. He ran to the meeting room, holding the messy report. Ben’s boss, Mr. Carter, looked surprised when he saw the report. He said, “Ben, what happened?” “This is not your best work”. Ben apologized and explained that he had fallen asleep. Mr. Carter reminded him of the importance of sleep at night, not during work. After that day, Ben started going to bed early. He learned that proper rest helped him stay focused and avoid embarrassing moments at the office. His coworkers, though, still joked about "Nap Time Ben" whenever they saw him yawning.
