It’s 3:30pm and you’re about an hour outside of that two hour lunch meeting that’s basically sapped any energy you had today. The florescent bulbs are starting to burn and the influx of e-mails in Outlook have become a blur. If you were to rate your productivity on a scale of 1-10, you’d give it something close to a negative 3. It’s time to take a nap.

The entire continent of Europe believes in it, our friends below the border call it a ’siesta’ and most every other civilized country knows that taking naps results in increased productivity, so why not us?

What this means to you: It’s time to make your employee’s afternoon-productive and get them a MetroNap pod. If not for them and the advancement of your workforce (and who wouldn’t want that) then get one for that friend you owe big or yourself… you deserve it. It’s a spherical shaped mecca away from the chaos of the office. It’s ergonomically perfect and designed to look the same. Plug in your iPod and make the rest of your afternoon worth it.

Full specs and more photos of the pod info after the jump.

Cost: $12,000 @ MetroNaps

Features
A room within a room. The spherical shape of the MetroNaps pod’s upper body creates a semi-private acoustical and visual environment. The cocoon offers protective privacy without overly enclosing.

Ergonomic perfection
The MetroNaps pod inclines forward to allow for easy entry, and then reclines to allow for optimal positioning. The slight elevation of the feet and knees promotes blood circulation and reduces pressure on the lower back.

A full-body alarm clock
The mechanical processes of the MetroNaps pod facilitate powernaps. At the timer’s expiration, a programmable logic controller orchestrates a gentle waking with a combination of lights and vibration.

Solid foundation
The MetroNaps pod rests on a powder-coated symmetrical steel base. A powerful and silent electro-mechanical recliner allows for further elevation of the feet and legs.
