What do you do when you feel irresistibly sleepy, but not at home, at a public place? The best way to recharge yourself in such a case is to find a sleeping pod, take a power nap, and wake up feeling doubly energised. If the concept of a sleeping pod is new to you, then keep a lookout below to find one for your use.

What is a sleeping pod?

A sleeping pod is a capsule-like space, good enough to accommodate single entry . Its main purpose is to allow people to take a power nap in a public space or a semi-public space, such as offices, universities, airports, shopping malls, and even hospitals. They are technologically enhanced, hygienic, cleaned regularly and quiet spaces for human re-charge.

Sleeping pods also come with several features, including a semi-reclining or fully reclining bed, noise reduction, white noise for a restful sleep, suitable lighting to induce a nap-like condition, and well-ventilation. Additional features like aromatherapy, temperature control, security lock, and mobile-recharge stations are also present, depending on the model of the sleeping pod. However, these are designed for naps for over a short duration only, say 10-30 minutes. They are not meant for taking a nap for a long period and definitely not overnight sleep.

A sleeping pod has several features.

Why using a sleeping pod is a good idea sometimes?

Using a sleeping pod may not be an everyday affair, but it definitely works once in a while. The primary reason why you should give in to short naps at times is to make sure that the fatigue and low energy that the body feels is done away with. Second, once you wake up from the much-needed sleep, you would find yourself being able to attend to your chores more actively and attentively. It also re-instates the focus and energy that had gone missing from your body and mind.

Third, these are ideal, if placed inside airports, train or bus stations, for those commuters who have a long distance to travel or long overlay hours, to take a quiet nap in between the hustle and bustle. Fourth, it also works well for several professions like doctors, interns, labourers etc, who work on shift and have a short time to catch up on sleep before their next shift begins. Fifth, the sleeping pod also offers a safe option to take a nap, in a protected environment, rather than staying awake or feeling dull at random waiting rooms.
