The Metronaps EnergyPod is designed especially for power napping in the workplace and is the first of its kind in the world. The benefits of power napping have been well documented. Research has demonstrated that a short nap of just 20 minutes improves cognition, mental acuity, and mood and in the long term has been shown to reduce stress and significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.
