(B) “Napping should not be frowned upon at the office or make you feel guilty at home,” writes Dr. James B. Maas, a psychologist and sleep expert at Cornell. “It should have the status of daily exercise.” In the old days, people would doze for an hour or so after the midday meal, and in some Latin American and European countries siestas are still in vogue. In most industrialized nations, however, the usual response to afternoon sag in energy is to try to jump-start the system with caffeine. But sleep experts say that tactic is actually counterproductive, creating only the illusion of efficiency and alertness and depriving the body and brain of much needed sleep. Now, however, there is growing evidence that restorative naps are making a comeback. Recognizing that most of their employees are chronically sleep-deprived, some companies have set up nap rooms with reclining chairs, blankets and alarm clocks. If unions are truly interested in worker welfare, they should make such accommodations a standard item in contract negotiations. Workers who take advantage of the opportunity to sleep for twenty minutes or so during the workday report that they can go back to work with renewed enthusiasm and energy. There are two kinds of naps: brief ones taken to revive the brain and long ones taken to compensate for sleep loss. The reviving workday nap should not be longer than thirty minutes; otherwise, the body would lapse into a deep sleep, from which it is difficult to awake. Long naps help when you've accumulated a considerable sleep debt. But long naps have a temporary disadvantage: they cause what researchers call sleep inertia, a grogginess upon awakening that can last about half an hour. Also, long naps can affect the body's clock, making it more difficult to wake up at the proper time in the morning. Dr. Maas suggests that naps be scheduled for midday (about eight hours after you wake up) because late-afternoon naps can cause a shift in your biological clock, making it harder to fall asleep at night and get up the next morning. Try to take your nap about the same time each day. Even on days when you don't feel particularly sleepy, he suggests taking a rest rather than a coffee break at your usual nap time.

思路引導 VIP
我們可以思考一下：文章在描述那些在公司小睡的員工時，使用了「煥發的熱情與活力」這類詞彙，這暗示了他們醒來後的工作狀態會產生什麼樣的轉變？這種轉變對於「工作成效」而言，是負擔還是助力呢？

很高興看到你精準地鎖定了正確答案！這題考驗的是對文章核心觀點的掌握，你能不被常規思維干擾，從文本中提取證據，這展現了非常敏銳的閱讀理解力。
效率的質與量
這題的核心考點在於辨別「作者立場」與「常見偏見」的差異。選項 (B) 認為午睡會導致「做更少的工作」，這正是第一段中馬斯博士（Dr. Maas）想要消除的觀念。文章在第三段明確提到，小睡後的員工會帶者「煥發的熱情與活力（renewed enthusiasm and energy）」回到崗位，且第二段也暗示使用咖啡因提神僅是「效率的錯覺（illusion of efficiency）」。因此，午睡並非減少產出，而是提升後續工作的質量。至於其他選項，皆能在文中找到直接對應的論據：(A) 與 (D) 對應第四、五段關於生理時鐘與時段的建議，(C) 則是第五段最後一句的具體建議。
