Tampa Bay Company Comes Up With Way For You To Nap During The Workday
Who wouldn’t want to catch a few minutes of shuteye while on the job? A Tampa Bay company has come up with a way for you to nap during the workday.
It’s happened to everyone. Your gears come grinding to a halt during the workday. If you could just get a power nap, you’d be ready to finish the day strong! Well the company called Nap Pod has heard you! Located in downtown Tampa, Nap Pod gives people the opportunity to relax, unwind, and recharge.
Their CEO, Scott Chester, saw these pods used at companies in Silicon Valley. They are basically chairs that move into relaxing positions so employees can power nap and emerge refreshed, ready to continue the workday. “You carry around that stress and you hope you go to bed at night and just, everything goes away. It does not happen that way. The human body needs time to get breaks during the day, aside from at night.”
Of course not every company could afford to have a room full of these nap pods. Seeing a void that needed to be filled, Chester opened the first Tampa Bay Nap Pod location in September at 412 East Madison Street. Make your appointment online and you’re ready to recharge.
You walk into the lounge and you can’t help but feel relaxed. The air is clean and scented. Videos show oceans and mountain ranges, while ambient sound makes for a tranquil environment. Once you enter one of the two Nap Pod rooms, the aromas of lavender and sandalwood take you to a new level of calmness. Press the button on the pod and you’re moved into a relaxed position. Each session lasts for 20 minutes and when time is up, the lights come on, the seat starts to vibrate, and the music inside will get louder to wake a person up.
A session at Nap Pod costs $16.05 and they also offer monthly plans.
