• Power nap refers to a short sleep ranging from 10 to 30 minutes and a company has come up with a solution to help workers feel refreshed

• A video from a supposed workplace shows workers using the special chair and has got many people talking

To help its workforce remain refreshed, a Japanese company has introduced a special office chair that helps workers take power naps.

According to Wealth, the chair is as easy as pushing a button to go from sitting upright and working, to lying down.

A video, shared by the Instagram page, showed a group of workers taking naps in the unique office chair.

One lady reclined hers as she joined her colleagues to also take a power nap. While the name of the company was not disclosed, the clip sparked a debate on social media.

The chair looks like a normal office chair but can quickly recline all the way flat when its user wants to take a power nap.
