		<description><![CDATA[In our frantically-paced society, it&#8217;s not uncommon for you or someone you know to withstand some sort of sleep deficit. In fact, 40 million Americans suffer yearly from chronic sleep disorders, and an additional 20 million complain of occasional sleeping problems. That&#8217;s a bit staggering. And the fact that those who function regularly on too-little sleep are more susceptible to car accidents, high blood pressure and possibly even heart disease or stroke does not make sleep deprivation any rosier.

In fact, 40 million Americans suffer yearly from chronic sleep disorders, and an additional 20 million complain of occasional sleeping problems. That&#8217;s a bit staggering. And the fact that those who function regularly on too-little sleep are more susceptible to car accidents, high blood pressure and possibly even heart disease or stroke does not make sleep deprivation any rosier.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s a tired soul to do?</p>
<p>Pay to take a nap. In a pod.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, a new craze called <strong>nap pods</strong> are hitting the scene, and for about a buck a minute, you can pay to be temporarily transported to dreamland in the nap pod of your choice. </p>
<p>Going with the alpha pod leaves you with a spa-like experience, since it releases aromas and has a heated, vibrating bed, a CD player and headphones. In essence, the real world around you just disappears. The energy pod, on the other hand, reclines and has headphones with music piped in.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure by now most of us know the benefits of a power nap. But is a midday rest worth <em>spending money</em> on? Those who have tried the pods insist it&#8217;s a more refreshing nap, in part because of the solidarity of it, and totally worth the moola. </p>
<p>I must say, I&#8217;d be tempted to try it. But I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;d snooze in a pod with any regularity. How about you?</p>
