<p>77.244.254.229: </p> <hr /> <div>The napping pods were a place to take naps at Noisebridge, and also a harm-reduction experiment in mitigating the [[sleeping at Noisebridge]] problem. In the ~5 months that they existed, dozens of people used them - mostly for short periods of time.<br /> <br /> Several people were vocally opposed to them throughout their existence, and the pods were eventually [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/redshirts/2013-September/000149.html destroyed] by Andrew &quot;Dru&quot; Byrne on September 24, 2013.<br /> <br /> [[Category:History of Noisebridge]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> :: ''A nap is a short period of sleep, typically taken during daylight hours as an adjunct to the usual nocturnal sleep period. Naps are most often taken as a response to drowsiness during waking hours.'' &amp;mdash; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nap Nap], from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br /> <br /> [[File:HSNP.jpg|right|400px]]<br /> <br /> [https://noisebridge.net/wiki/HSNP/comments Comments, feedback, experiences...]<br /> <br /> The '''Hacker Stacker Napping Pods''' (HSNPs) are located near the northwest corner of the space.<br /> <br /> They are intended to provide a place for Noisebridgers to take short occasional naps.<br /> <br /> Also, the [[DreamTeam]] conducts sleep research in them.<br /> <br /> == Rationale ==<br /> <br /> The HSNPs were built amidst ongoing discussion of how to solve the problems related to [[sleeping at Noisebridge]], and are predicated upon the following assumptions:<br /> <br /> # Having a designated place to take naps will drastically reduce the occurrence of sleeping elsewhere in the space.<br /> # Having a designated place to take naps will make waking people up in other locations less unpleasant, because they can be invited to continue their nap in the hacker stacker.<br /> # People who are in fact not really just taking a short nap will be more visible and thus their misuse of Noisebridge will be more immediately obvious.<br /> <br /> If these assumptions are invalidated, the HSNPs will be disassembled.<br /> <br /> == FAQ ==<br /> <br /> === How much napping is too much? ===<br /> <br /> If someone thinks you're overusing the HSNPs, they are probably correct.<br /> <br /> If you think they're mistaken, you should ask other people for their opinions.<br /> <br /> If you feel it is necessary, you can ask for other opinions at the [[community meeting]].<br /> <br /> === Why did someone remove the blankets I hung over the side? ===<br /> <br /> Translucent siding is necessary for assumption #3 to hold true.<br /> <br /> === What should I do if I notice someone overusing the napping pods? ===<br /> <br /> You are empowered to ask them to stop. It may help to invite them to read this page, and the [[sleeping at Noisebridge]] page, and to ask what other people think. Thank you for helping to maintain an excellent environment at Noisebridge!<br /> <br /> === Why encourage napping? ===<br /> <br /> From Wikipedia:<br /> ::''Napping has been found to be both physiologically and psychologically beneficial. Napping for 20 minutes can help refresh the mind, improve overall alertness, boost mood and increase productivity.''
