So what’s a tired soul to do?

Pay to take a nap. In a pod.

That’s right, a new craze called nap pods 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.

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.

I’m sure by now most of us know the benefits of a power nap. But is a midday rest worth spending money on? Those who have tried the pods insist it’s a more refreshing nap, in part because of the solidarity of it, and totally worth the moola.

I must say, I’d be tempted to try it. But I can’t say I’d snooze in a pod with any regularity. How about you?

I came across a fun article recently about sleep position and what it says about your personality. Check it out and then leave us a comment to let us know if you agree.

Back Sleeper: You’re a leader! Since this position reveals the most skin, it shows you’re comfortable leaving yourself open to vulnerability because you’re so confident. If this is you, you’re part of only 8% of the population who sleeps on their backs.

Side Sleeper: Since this is somewhere between your back and stomach, this position shows that you’re a friendly, easy-going person. You enjoy meeting new people and you’re quite trusting.

Stomach Sleeper: This position represents a “free-fall” type position, and shows that you’re an adventurer, through and through. You do tend to keep your emotional side private, sharing those thoughts only with your closest of friends and family.

Fetal Position Sleeper: A sensitive flower, you are. Curling up under your covers is your way of letting your subconscious pull itself back together. By day, you take creative risks and you’re full of vigor and creativity. Expending all that energy by day makes sleep a therapeutic necessity to you.

A Flopper: If you flop and change positions all night, it means you’re an adaptable soul. Some people call you “complicated”, but really, you are just good at finding new ways to do things. Incidentally, if this is you, you share company with only 5% of other sleepers who change positions regularly.
