check out these slumber pods.
specially adapted chairs fitted with vibration devices designed to make (people) nod off and lights to wake them up at the end of the sleep.

"There is a tremendous amount of research that supports the notion that a 20-minute midday nap can rejuvenate people. It improves memory, learning and mood and can boost productivity by up to 30%,"

"At work I realised that people are quite tired at work and falling off their desks or even sneaking off to the toilets to catch rest. Then I realised that we are really missing a comfortable and a convenient place to take a nap during the day," said Mr Chowdhry.

Many US companies have created "wellness rooms" for their employees, to allow them to take breaks from the hectic action of their offices or the stock market floor.

Mr Chowdhry said several were considering buying pods and installing them in these wellness rooms.
what would you like to see (or what already exits) in your "wellness room"? do you have a wellness room at your office? in your house? in the woods behind your house?
