Power napping meets the digital age

Experts are recommending now more than ever that employees should take power naps every day. Naps at the work place rejuvenate the system and clear the mind and make employees perform better and more effectively than those who don’t power nap. MetroNaps has developed a power napping pod, the EnergyPod, that purports to make it easier to power nap and make naps taken in their pod more effective. Whatever. I don’t see myself napping in one of these any time soon. Claustrophobics need not apply.

Holey moley, I love napping.

I can’t stop thinking that it looks like Pac-Man choking on a human. (“I thought it was a cherry, honest!”)

Oh, darn. I didn’t see that someone else beat me to it.

Ah well, I guess I’ll go back to ogling pictures of the HTC Polaris.

I just keep remembering that Woody Allen film, “Sleeper”.

(And there’s no way I’d be caught dead in that EnergyPod.)
