"But still" nothing. If the employee was off the clock on their lunch break they are on their OWN time, and if they want to catch a few winks of sleep in that time, that is their own damn business.
I had 2 jobs from 2003 to 2013. One was 8 AM to 5 PM and the other was 5 PM to 11 PM (the job locations were right down the street from each other). Thankfully, that night job was seasonal. I took quite a few naps in my car over my lunch hour on my day job, with the alarm set on my phone so I wouldn't oversleep.
