Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2014, features Dilbert and his coworkers discussing the concept of power naps. The conversation begins with Dilbert stating that he got up at 4 a.m. because he heard it's what successful people do. His coworkers are skeptical, but Dilbert insists that it's a good idea.

As the conversation progresses, Dilbert's coworkers start to fall asleep, one by one. Dilbert, however, remains awake and alert, claiming that this sort of thing always sounds better than it looks. The comic strip ends with Dilbert standing over his sleeping coworkers, looking confident and energized.

  • Dilbert's coworkers are depicted as being skeptical of his claim, but ultimately falling asleep despite their reservations.
  • The comic strip suggests that sometimes, things don't live up to their hype, and that power naps may not be as effective as they seem.
