FT reporter Richard Waters was in Google's Mountain View headquarters and snapped this photo of an anonymous Googler catching some rest. When Richard walked past the pod later, he said a pair of female legs were sticking out from the pod.
This contraption is a MetroNap EnergyPod. Metronap says it "harnesses science and NASA technology" to deliver a refreshing nap for users.
On its site, Metronap says, "Occupants are reclined into the optimal napping position to promote blood circulation and reduce pressure on the lower back and ambient sounds help nappers drift into light sleep."
When it's time to wake up, the EnergyPod delivers a light vibration.
i'd like to try that sleep pod
ReplyDeletemen I would love to own one of those pods.... the first NaPod
ReplyDeleteHoly God! I need one of these for my house, work, and when I go to coffee. There's nothing better than napping during the day. Although if I had one of these bad boys at work, I don't think anything would get done. Ever.
ReplyDeleterelaxes me just by watching it
ReplyDeleteThat chair looks sweeeeet !!
ReplyDeletegoogle corp is one of the best for workers. they have evrything what they need and dont need. its like a small town...

ReplyDeleteMan would that be sweet and I thought my "white noise" iPhone app was cool.

ReplyDeleteHatching by night to wield the ban-hammer.
ReplyDeleteThe only way this would be better is if there was a screen on it like the ones in Fallout
ReplyDeleteThis is going on the list of things to put in my dream house.
ReplyDeleteA HAppy employee is a hard working one!

ReplyDeleteif you want to be woken up by light vibrations why not just move to California.
ReplyDeleteI usually just sleep in my bed, does that sound odd to you ??
ReplyDeletelooks creepy

ReplyDeleteWasn't that the chair in the first MIB?
ReplyDeletethat would make the ultimate home theatre chair, all it needs is a cupholder ;)
ReplyDeleteI WANT ONE!
ReplyDeletePeople are actually using pods to sleep in, in modern America. does this mean they are theoretically working in the future? I do believe so. Google is a competitor when it comes to employee relations, I'm sure it doesn't harm their rating very much.
ReplyDeletesick chairs. man there making mad money.
ReplyDeleteI would sleep there like a log
ReplyDeleteReally seems cool
ReplyDeleteIt'd be amazing to work for Google...
