Up at 7, in work by 8.
Thus the question: What is the best way to slyly sleep at your desk? I face away from the door and there is only one other person in who doesn't care. Tell me tales of your sleeping as well.

You'll be pretty much undisturbed and if anyone questions your 45 min spell in the john you can claim your a bit backed up.

Sleeping in the bogs can be a bit awkward when you emerge. Do you have offsite meetings? Sleeping round the corner in your car is an option if you can convince your co-workers it's a legitimate outing.

good cover for the inevitable beer farts and grunting which hung over sleep brings.

a) have back problems due to being shot in the back when you were a policeman in rhodesia, coupled with diabetes, leading you to being in a wheelchair and nodding off occasionally.
or b) work for the company for 25 years, while still being shit at your job, be really fucking weird but impossible to get rid of

We've got some sample rooms.
If I'm really tired I just lock myself in one with a bed and pretend I was out doing H&S stuff.

I put a document in front of me, elbows on the desk and place my hands on my head like a sun visor.
Works well until you properly nod off and your elbows give way from under you and you end up head-butting your keyboard.

I used to drive a minicab (a mark five Cortina to help the stereotype image) at night, and then go to work as a draftsman. I managed to have a couple of hours curled up on my A0 drawing board before the rest of the staff came in. One day I overslept and sombody released the lock which held the board horizontal. First thing I knew about it was a rolling sensation and as I woke up, a falling and thudding sensation. Bastard, I swapped to simply sitting on my stool and lolling over the board after that.
Oh, you are all a bunch of cunts ( which seems to be the method of signing off at the moment).

Find something interesting to do. Something not simple for preference - you can stay awake if your brain is sufficiently engaged.
And that's from MY experience. 1:30 is pretty early.
