Sleeping on the job!

Got that Monday Morning feeling?  I certainly have!
After an absolutely draining weekend, I have to say, I’ve arrived at SOV HQ this morning feeling like I need forty winks!

Society now seems to be supporting the “sleeping on the job” slogan, and I for one think a good 15mins sleep is needed once in a while.

PodTime are becoming a best seller of “sleeping pods” for companies nationally and internationally for the very reason that employees need a “power nap” when working in a stressful environment.  Already established in the far east, I think it’s about time the UK cottoned on to this fabulous idea!

These versatile sleeping pods allow employees to take a little break at work, either for a lie down with chillout music, or a light read.  For the small sum of £1375 + VAT (reducing when quantity increases) you can start your own “sleeping zone”. 

The pods have open ventilation at each end means every pod has good air circulation and a fresh and roomy feel inside. The doors are available in tinted, frosted or solid finish, and are lockable to keep your things safe whilst you relax.

Additional options such as a secure luggage compartment, TV and DVD, leather covered mattress, digital radio and alarm clock are also available and the pod can even be branded!

With recent proven results from scientists, employers are starting to take note that 15-20 minutes sleep can accelerate the recovery process your body goes through during sleep.  Some of the benefits of “sleeping on the job” are:

o  Reduced stress levels
o  Increased energy and stamina
o  Reduced risk of heart disease
o  Improved cognitive and reflex performance
o  Better mood and emotional state
o  Improved alertness
o  Renewed motivation
o  Greater capacity to learn
Fingers crossed that SOV will soon have some pods of their own! I am exhausted.

Sleepbox

In 2009 Arch Group came up with the concept of the Sleepbox which has recently been developed into mass production.
The modular  2.5 x 1.6 x 2.5-3m pods are designed for the urban traveller and for particular use in airports, rail terminals and town centres.
The compact units come complete with sleeping facilities, ventilation, luggage storage & outlets for mobile phones and laptops. They can also be upgraded to include Wi-Fi, audio visual elements and payment stations.
I particularly like the fact that the design can pack so many functional elements into such a small footprint whilst maintaining its stylised aesthetic. I also believe that these units have solved the problem that plagues so many travellers when flights or trains are delayed, cancelled or there just isn't time to check into a hotel.
Expect to see the Sleepbox in an airport near you soon!
