Power naps are often touted as being a way to [improve productivity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minute-timer), so the 'Spot 2' concept nap timer has been designed by Andrea Senatori as a way to make them part of mainstream culture. The unit is constructed with a series of [analog controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sink-concept) that includes a large wheel that can be turned to set the nap time desired. A small wheel can be used for adjusting the volume, while a digital display on the front provides information pertaining to the date, time and how much nap time is remaining.

The 'Spot 2' concept nap timer could help to expedite the process of actually taking a quick nap by eliminating the need to fiddle with a smartphone to set a timer or alarm.
