Wouldn't it be great if there was a place to take naps at work? This might be the LEAST comfortable way to accomplish that goal . . .
Â
A company in Japan has a new product called "nap boxes" to give workers a place to take power naps. But you have to sleep STANDING UP.
Â
They're big cylinders with a door on the front that only fit one person at a time. They basically look like a water heater with a door on the front.
Â
Each one has three small shelves inside, strategically placed to support your knees, head, and butt. So you're partially supported, but still vertical.
Â
They claim it's comfortable, but it's hard to tell. It's in the early stages, so they haven't even demonstrated it yet. They just have a rendering.
Â
A spokesperson for the company claimed that in Japan, it's common for workers to take naps in the bathroom. So they wanted to give them a better option.Â
