Workplace naps
I currently work in an open plan office, no cubicles or privacy, so can no longer do this, however at my former workplace I had perfected the art of the work nap.

The simplest method is to push your chair back from the desk slightly, and drop a pen or pencil by your feet. Then, you bend forward, and rest your head on the makeshift pillow that is your left arm on the desk. Complete the setup by dangling your free right arm towards the ground.

Sleep.

Should someone knock on your office door (you did close it, didn't you?) you ask them to enter while you pick the pen up and straighten. All the interrupter sees is someone retrieving a dropped pen.

Note: Don't hesitate before saying enter, and don't act flustered when they come in, it makes people suspicious. Might not work if you drool a lot in your sleep.
