Wakey, wakey! This is the BBC, after all

BBC staffers thinking about taking a nap at the corporation's refurbished Broadcasting House, beware – you may have to contend with the "sleep police". Monkey hears one exhausted nightshifter was roused from a sofa by a patrolling BBC official earlier this week, to be told that sleeping is against corporation's policy, and that another employee was recently found asleep in just his underwear. The officious BBC man advised that sleeping on the job could mean missing a fire alarm – and made New Broadcasting House look untidy. The sleepy nightshifter was advised to use the "nursing mothers' room" on the third floor. It's a tiring business, keeping up with BBC policy.
