Who else needs one of these? 🙋 The pods are designed to help students take 20-minute refresher naps as a way to boost their moods, creativity and focus, the university said.
. To help students get more shut eye, the university this week announced it has installed four nap pods at three locations across campus.
“There are several research studies that highlight the correlation of mental health and sleep, so part of the intent to offer nap pods was to provide a unique mental health resource to our students,” ZipAssist Director Ali Doehring said in a news release. “We hope that students using these will benefit from an increased concentration in the classroom, a reduction of stress and a positive enhancement in their overall emotions.
“After trying out the nap pods in Simmons Hall, I felt more relaxed and ready for the rest of my day,” Meganne Chapman, a senior civil engineering major, said in the release. “I really like how the pods have many options to choose from, especially a guided relaxation. This helps me focus and allows my body to fully relax. As an engineering student, I can definitely see myself using these again.”
“As we assessed our recent programs, resources and services, the nap pods were identified as an innovative and unique way to directly provide a solution to support our students,” Doehring said in the release. “We know the correlations between sleep deprivation and mental health, and these nap pods seemed like a perfect solution.”
