Nap Time

Though most adults find the idea of an afternoon nap laughable, you’d be surprised at how many of us are regularly slipping away for an post-lunch siesta. The reflexology sanctuary Yelo is doing its best to bring the bleary-eyed snoozers out from under their desks and bathroom stalls and give them the battery recharge they deserve with their specialized sleep therapy system: the YeloNap. Studies have shown that a 20-minute nap as little as three times a week can increase productivity and decrease the chances of a heart attack by 64 percent; this is important to remember, especially if you’re one of the millions of Americans rapidly working yourself toward a corporate burnout by the time you hit 45. Once inside a YeloCab, you’re given your own private, customizable space—complete with zero-gravity chair, soothing audio and lighting selections and even a simulated sunrise that guides you towards a gentle reemergence. No grogginess, no eye bags, no stress, and all designed to ensure a soothing retreat from the hectic work and home lives that we New Yorkers so happily embrace. Oh, and guaranteed as a welcome alternative to dozing off next to that homeless man next to you on the subway.
