Apr 8 2008Nap At Work With The Nappak Sleeping Cube
If there's one thing I hate about going to work, it's the lack of comfortable places to sleep during my afternoon siesta. Enter the Nappak Sleeping Cube. It's an inflatable cubby where you can stretch out and doze to your heart's content. Not exactly a cube, but that's okay. While it certainly is better than napping face down on your keyboard, I have a few other suggestions for great places to sleep at work (based on several years experience).
The trunk of your car
Benefits: Cozy, dark, can add pillows and blankets.
Drawbacks: Getting locked inside. Being rear ended mid-nap.
Bathroom stall
Benefits: Easily accessible, private, can urinate as you nap.
Drawbacks: Gas, bathroom noises, legs falling asleep.
Your boss's desk, with his secretary.
Benefits: Lockable door, someone to spoon, potential to get some (or at least cop a feel).
Drawbacks: Possible sexual harassment case and/or disease. Boss kicking in the door, yelling at you. Termination.
A couple more pictures after the jump.

Thanks to Tyson, perhaps the best director/cinematographer in the world, for the tip

I suppose if I worked all alone in a giant loft with lots of empty floor space, then I could use one of these. then again, if that's where I worked, I'd just get a really comfy sofa for sleeping on, ala Andy Capp.

After blowing it up I would be too tired to sleep.

That photo of him at his desk also seems to imply he spent all his money on the sleeping cube and none on his computer monitor from 1994.

I know a couple of security guards that could use one of those.

I work in a warhouse. If I need a nap ill just hide at the top of the shelves and hope to god nobody needs a bulk item.

Wow, I'm so tired here at work. I wish there was some type of really retarded inflatable jigger I could take a nap in. Heyyy! What's that thing?!!

Don't say "after the jump". It causes needless aesthetic pain.
