“I’m sorry, she’s taking a nap right now…”

I’ve said for a long time that if BoCo ever exists, then it would be naptime from 1 to 2 in the afternoon.  You wouldn’t have to take a nap, but it would be encouraged.  No meetings, phone calls, or drop-bys during that hour.  (We’d rotate the person answering the phone from 1-2, and that person could nap from 12-1 or 2-3 that day.)

Well, MetroNaps is on it in a big way.  They started with a come-to-us business model on the 22nd floor of the Empire State Building, but they’ve now installed about 100 “EnergyPods” in several businesses:

I  had a “mat on the floor” sort of concept in mind, or perhaps reclining office chairs.  Doubtless a $12,400 fiberglass womb is way cooler.

  1. Heh! I was originally going to comment on the narrow leg rest being non-conducive to certain activities, but it occurred to me that the design is ideal for some variations of said activities.
