When 8 1/2 to 9 months pregnant for my first child, I became so tired at work that I would go in a bathroom stall, sit on the toilet, put my elbows on my knees, and my head in my hands. Before I knew it, 15 or 20 minutes would pass! Yes, I actually napped there. It really refreshed me, but my supervisor didn't like it. I had a 'talking to' from her. She told me I was spending too much time in the bathroom. I said, "I'm sorry, but as you know, pregnant women are using the facilities for two." A bit of a fib there, but a true statement... Luckily, it didn't turn into a problem, as the baby came, and I could stay home and use a bed for a nap. lol
This reminds me of my first pregnancy. I was scheduled to teach three or four swimming classes at USC starting at 8am. I took an express bus there. I would lay down on the front seat and sleep. The driver would wake me up by yelling my stop loudly. It worked and I got a little bit of extra rest.
