Jerry Yang slept under his desk, Amazon had door desks.
I tried to emulate Yang by renting an office - I wanted to sleep nights in it. But I chickened out and continued to work from my bedroom (a UK equivalent of a USA garage).
Amazon _has_ door desks. Its an ironic (and often quoted) point of pride that a door desk costs more than a standard office desk at corporate buying rates, but symbolizes thriftiness which as a corporate ethic provides much more value.

I never understood how someone ACTUALLY sleeps "under" a desk:p My desks have too many power cords to make any kinda sleep possible.
