A nap room? What’s next, snack time?

In all fairness to Harvard, all that fussing about conservatives must be very tiring.

Zzzzzz: Harvard May Install a Student ‘Nap Room’

You know how in preschool, all the little kids lay down for “nap time” every afternoon? Well, Harvard students may soon be getting the preschool treatment. USA Today reports:

Often without time to walk home between classes, a centralized nap room location — or nap pods in various campus areas — would create convenient space for this sleep-deprived demographic to catch up on their zzz’s, said Harvard sophomore Sietse Goffard, Undergraduate Council Student Life Committee member.“Knowing how busy and overwhelmed a lot of Harvard students are, a nap space is really helpful,” Goffard said. “I know more sleeping would greatly enhance my learning experience.”

Accessible with a Harvard ID, students will be able to pick up a blanket and pillow upon signing in with the room moderator. There they’ll write their nap duration and leave belongings in a locker, according to the nap-space proposal Hou created with Harvard’s Happiness Project.

I’m totally supportive if someone wants to take a short siesta back in one’s dorm room. But the idea of “overwhelmed” Harvard students laying down in little curtained cubbyholes with pillows and blankies under supervision from a “room monitor” feels a little too infantile to me.

Agreed!
