The PAUZzzz nap bar located in Brussels, Belgium is an establishment dedicated entirely peaceful sleeping. The bar is designed to offer consumers a [place of tranquility and relaxation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-oasis) in contrast to busy, work-oriented lifestyles. The bar features a series of [ultra comfortable loungers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anew-project) that guest can sprawl themselves onto to enjoy a few minutes of peace and quiet.

PAUZzzz allows guests to arrive during their lunch session at work or even prior to starting their day to enjoy a [nap session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-meditation-pod) that begins at 15-minutes. The service provides slippers and a space of relaxation as well as a locker to house personal belongings. Smartphone usage is not allowed in the relaxation area.
