Getting some sleep (China)

Some time back, an institutional library invited me to a focus group discussing their upcoming renovation. I suggested that they build sleep pods - students could book these and have a quick nap. I often see students sleeping in the library - maybe it’s my age - there is a paternal pang when I see their unhealthy posture. The library folks were not amused at my idea - It appears,  it would be one more place that they would have to actively monitor to prevent mischief. I think I will not get invited again.

A friend from China sent some photos of a sleep pod company she was modeling for. Seems companies are using the availability of sleep pods as a perk while recruiting. I think we should actively copy this from China.
