New York's MetroNaps (http://www.metronaps.com) offers [futuristic sleeping pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-capsule), designed for [20-minute cat naps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextnap). From a $14 day pass to a $65 dollars a month, the sleep-deprived can can get their nap on during the 9 -5 grind in a pod, which features ergonomic design and an upper hood for privacy. Nappers are gently awakened by a combination of light and vibration. I'm not sure about you, but I like the vibration part. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sleep Pods:** Opportunity for businesses to incorporate sleep pods for employees to improve productivity and well-being. - **Napping at Work:** Opportunity to create a workplace culture that encourages short naps for increased productivity. - **Sleep Technology:** Opportunity to develop innovative sleep products and technologies for improving sleep quality during the workday. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for office furniture manufacturers to design and produce sleep pods for workplaces. - **Wellness Services:** Opportunity for wellness services providers to offer nap capsules and related services to businesses that prioritize employee well-being. - **Technology:** Opportunity for technology companies to develop advanced sleep technologies and integrate them into sleep pods for enhanced functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Standing Tranquil Napping Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giraffenap.md) - [Upright Cafe Sleeping Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nescaf-harajuku.md) - [Nap-Oriented Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-nap-chair.md) - [Workplace Wellness Capsule Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-meditation-pod.md) - [Nap-Inducing Lulling Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zzzn-sleep-apparel-system.md) - [Blackout Napping Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau.md) - [Swaddling Comfort Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hug-sleep.md) - [Sound-Proof Meditation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headspace-pod.md) - [Quirky Solo Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-capsules.md)
