UEA students offered 'nap nook' for daytime snoozing

[wendy]

University students are being offered the chance to catch up on sleep between lectures in a "napping centre".

The University of East Anglia's (UEA) student union said its "nap nook" was the UK's first such facility in a university setting.

The idea is based on a facility at a US university, designed by a student there and run by its psychology department.

UEA students in Norwich are able to book a 40-minute "nap nook" slot in advance or walk in on the day.

The specially-fitted out room contains bean bags, sofa beds, anti-microbial pillows, eye masks and blackout curtains.

The room, which is open from noon to 18:00 each day, is monitored by CCTV.
