A Poly-nappers Lifestyle

[Paul]

I woke up from a nap yesterday feeling refreshed and had a suddenly flow of thoughts about how a person living in this manner would live if say, this was the norm.

My bed is a queen size, large, uncomfortable and impracticle taking up over 1/3 of my room, when I only use it 2/3 of my naps. AND when I wake up, I have to stumble around to find the light switch, which turns on 4 halegon natural white lights. Wouldn't it be nice to have something that would light up slowly like a dimmer?

But what's the alternative? Well at this time, there are a few things you can do, depending on how much you're willing to spend, from programs controlling lights and sound to sleeping on different surfaces or on chairs/couches.

Let's pretend for a moment that money was no object, would you be as inclined to use the pod from MetroNap of NYC? http://www.metronaps.com/



It has slight vibrations and a light turns on slowly to wake you up from your nap, nice! I haven't found a cost on purchasing one of these yet although they do say on the site that you can lease one "for as little as $299 a month".

Hmm, with a keyboard, LCD monitor and surround sound system mounted in there, I might be hard pressed to get out of it!

Good thing too.....since two people couldn't get up in it.

Actually....it's VERY cool looking. Once the cost comes down....I think people will actually purchase them.

Ya I was thinking about it yesterday actually and I decided that since you're not actually sleeping for 8 hours a night, but instead it's 20 mins at a time, you'll probably not be sleeping together anyway. And when you're "sleeping" together, this will give you a chance to find some new and interesting places.

Or you could just have a bed. :P

Is that a pic of the actual vibration.....or is this what it does when your 20 minutes are up?

[Paul]

No it's just showing the 4 sleeping positions, it just vibrates gently when it's time to wake up and a light comes on slowly. Otherwise that'd be one heck of a wakeup

I'm not sure why in the world anyone could possibly want it back that far...

I just got an email back from the manufacturer:

Dear Mr. Clow,

Thank you for your interest in MetroNaps. The MetroNaps Pod retails for
$6950 plus shipping. Discounts apply to orders of multiple pods, and we may
be able to offer a 36 month lease for you. Please let us know how many pods

I'm most definetly interested in a pod but it's just not feasible now or for the near future. I still need a car first.
