snoozecloset

/ˈsnuːzˌklɒzɪt/nounVerified New

The concealment of naps from coworkers, family, or oneself, as if daytime sleep were a habit to hide.

The car at lunchtime, the "just resting my eyes," the gym bag carried as camouflage. Productivity culture turned a biological need into something requiring an alibi. Snoozecloset names the closet, not the nap.

Etym. — snooze + closet — on the "closet" pattern of hidden practices; what comes out of it is a nap.
