tackling workplace fatigue as co-founder & CEO of MetroNaps

Christopher Lindholst is CEO of MetroNaps, a company providing nap pods for organizations to have in the workplace to combat our natural circadian dip in the afternoon. In this episode, Christopher discusses the benefits of napping, including reducing the stress hormone cortisol, as well as improving productivity, alertness, judgment and mood.

Christopher Lindholst is CEO and co-founder of MetroNaps. A pioneer in corporate fatigue management solutions, he oversaw the development of MetroNaps’ i20 system, which has since become the leading technology for optimizing workplace napping.

Christopher has been instrumental in putting sleep on the corporate wellness agenda and has established partnerships on four continents. He is a frequent speaker at corporations and conferences, where he talks about implementing sleep into corporate wellbeing programs. He has been cited in the media hundreds of times, including by the BBC, Monocle and the Financial Times.

MetroNaps was founded in 2003 with a simple goal: to fight workplace fatigue. Our mission is based on a simple scientifically proven fact: that a brief nap improves alertness, learning, memory, mood and long term health. Today, MetroNaps remains a pioneer and the world’s leader in developing short rest solutions for our corporate, health care, university and aviation clients in over 50 countries on five continents.
