MetroNaps

Do you often get very tired during work? Don't think you can make it through your day? Well, if you live in New York, MetroNaps is the answer. This service is available to allow people to have a 20 minute nap for $14. The rooms are dimly lit, and the sounds and smells are kept constant. They are trying to create the best environment to take a nap. You are even provided with very your own napping pod.

Once you have awoken from your nap, they provide a wake-up station where you can freshen up and get ready to return to your work day.

They are currently leasing the pods to workplaces and universities. However, this is very costly and can set you back about $7000 per pod. I wish WLU bought some of these. I could use a nap from time to time.

Lectures. Lectures are the nap-pods of University.

$14 for 20 minutes? I guess the price isn't anything absurd for New York, though.

Why can't you just sleep in one of the many lounges that WLU offers, like the 2-4? They're clearly better than what UW's got (Math Comfy Lounge and SLC), but there are people there sleeping at all hours of the day.

This service is more intended for corporate customers. It's located in the financial district in New York. As for napping in lectures, WLU has the worst possible chairs ever. There is no way I would be able to fall asleep.
