Power Nap Registry
In a culture where doing something - anything - is considered better than doing nothing, napping can seem suspect. This registry is here to help spread the word about the benefits of napping, and help establish napping as a socially acceptable and intelligent thing to do.
- Existing nappers - “come out” and share your experiences here.
- Would- be nappers - read about how others do it and give it a go!

I try to get a 10-15 minute nap before my afternoon program. It helps to defrag and refocus my mind, and clears the fog that builds up during the day. I sit in a lounge chair in the tea room at work. People say I'm bludging, but I tell them I'm meditating - somehow that's considered more acceptable |

As an artist,I like to paint after sleeping - either early in the morning or after a nap. It helps me access "night consciousness" - the less rational part of my brain. I work from home and nap between about 2 and 3 pm. I feel terrible if I don't. |

MetroNaps is a business devoted to napping in the workplace.
MetroNaps leases hi-tech sleep Pods to corporate companies in order that their staff can take a 20-minute nap. Benefits of napping are numerous for the workplace as staff become more energised, increase their creative thinking and memory as well as generally being happier.
The business was founded in New York several years ago where a nap store operates in the Empire State Building and just off Wall Street.
MetroNaps Australia, apart from leasing its Pods to organisations, will be opening its first dedicated nap store in the Sydney CBD later in 2006. We also have a planned roll out around the country, including airports, from 2007. |
