Designated sleeping zones in library PDF Print E-mail

Attention all library dozers. Yes, the library is an excellent place for a little cat nap in between classes or study sessions, but hear me now.

There's currently a specific area unofficially designated as the sleep-friendly area, home to the most concentrated number of slumbering studiers in Wilson or Haggard.

Fourth floor Wilson west wing is fashionably outfitted with eight or so purple and orange couches, which are currently as I write this, (and most likely as you read), more than half occupied by the seemingly dead undead. I won't contest it's superior location; it's quiet, and if everyone else is passed out, there's less concern over appearances.

As I recently and in the near prospective future have ultilized the mini-beds conveniently disguised as couches, I won't judge, but the sheer numbers that fill this place exceed the people studying here. It feels like the land of the Lotus Eaters; even those awake are seductively lured by the infectious sleep around them.

It's because of this that I propose one of two memorandums: a designated library nap room fit with military or camping style cots or a free amphetamine project sponsored by the Wellness Center. It's clear the department's friendly reminders to get more sleep and go to bed early fall upon deaf ears thus more aggressive action is necesssary. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a nap to get through before my next class.
