Chances are you'll want to partake in a cat nap after checking out these awesome sleep aids for people on the go, or for those who just want to catch a few z's on their lunch break.
From neck pillows that prop your head up comfortably, to freakishly pillowesque desktops, to adorable feline-inspired face masks and well hidden sleeping bags, there's always a way to get your afternoon nap fix. Sometimes it's not about the product, but just a little piece of advice and some tips. If that's what you're looking for, there's some infographics about healthy sleep patterns and methods for restful sleep anytime of day. My personal favorite is convertible couch table that transforms your workspace into a bed!
