Welcome to Snooze Café™, a new concept in the UK, set up to enable tired and stressed out city workers take a snooze from anything from 30mins to 2 hours. The Snooze Café™ idea is to provide a serene environment for its clients to distress, unwind, relax and snooze if need be.

London is not Japan. Please stop this.

― I Only Pretended To Be American (kate), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

I am so opening one of these outside Fabric.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:45 (nineteen years ago)

sleeping > drinking coffee

i think it's a neat idea.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

I would not be able to relax enough to snooze in public like that.

Also... how are you going to handle the sound isolation?

― I Only Pretended To Be American (kate), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

I am so going to start a gang of street children to take advantage of lots of snoozing hipsters and their carelessly dscarded laptops and ipods.

― Crimea River (Mark C), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

obviously, it's not for everyone. a nice option, nonetheless.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:50 (nineteen years ago)

My alternative solution to relieve tired City workers would involve Kalashnikovs, so I'd better leave it there.

ok, let's go.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

i've had this idea 4 years ago.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

you snooze you lose, ken

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:57 (nineteen years ago)

pwnt

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:57 (nineteen years ago)

except it wasn't a cafe but more just really really small and cheap single bed hotel rooms and the clientele were drunken people who couldn't face the bus/whatever journey home before the morning. i guess city types are less likely to puke everywhere.

xpost yes.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:57 (nineteen years ago)

i guess city types are less likely to puke everywhere.

so naive.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:58 (nineteen years ago)

during working hours!

actually yeah naive

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:59 (nineteen years ago)

I thought someone should do this a couple of years ago.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

so a comfortable victory for Ken in the end i fear

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:02 (nineteen years ago)

i can see why MATT of all people would be interested in this!

i think it's probably a good business idea, but personally, i would not be able to do it. if i sleep, i sleep in my own bed kthxbye. (all other times i happen to sleep - people's floors, night buses heading out to essex at speed - are BAD THINGS)

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

What's wrong with people's floors?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:10 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking as someone who used to resort to napping on the floor of the officer server room in her lunch hour, I would totally welcome this if a) it was in Manchester and b) I was still working and thus not able to nap whenever I choose, in own bed.

― Zora (Zora), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:16 (nineteen years ago)

I'd say if you're life is so hectic you need pay to take a snooze in a cafe, then you'd need to rearrange your life. There's something deeply wrong with modern societies if a decent daytime nap has become a commodity.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

We all need a place to distress sometimes. (wtf?)

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

My problem is that I tend to do things in my sleep that I don't necessarily want people watching me do. Snuffling, snorting, kicking, talking. Oh yes, I'm quite the catch.

What I really want is somewhere I don't have to spend money every time I go in. I like the idea of an old-fashioned club where you pay your dues every year but then can just go and sit and read the paper if you feel like it. And if you nod off in the chair, so be it.

Entire nation of Spain to thread.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

Ken, I had this idea before you did and I will FITE you.

Although I'm not sure what the prize is.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

There is a place like this that does massages and naps for office workers on Leather Lane.

― suzy (suzy), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

A good leathering is what they need!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

I thought about this a lot when I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome pretty badly. Nothing would have suited me better than a kip at lunch time, and trying to do it in a library coffee room was impossible.

If the idea catches on, I think it will be nice. Although it should also be free.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:27 (nineteen years ago)

Funny how nurses, teachers and firefighters never suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

Er are you sure about nurses and teachers there?

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:39 (nineteen years ago)

they don't get chronic fatigue syndrome because they get enough rest going on strike all the fucking time.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:57 (nineteen years ago)

you're first up against the wall come the revolution, mother fisher.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:13 (nineteen years ago)

-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), June 9th, 2006.

I do hope you're being ironic. Unfortunately, I don't have time to argue with you right now if you're not.

How could you possibly know whether any of those groups get chronic fatigue syndrome? How far have you looked into this? Are you some sort of expert??

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:14 (nineteen years ago)

I work for the NHS, pal. What's your excuse?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

You work for the NHS, so you're an expert on all medical conditions?

In what capacity do you work for them?

How far have you studied this, to make such comments?

Excuse? I don't feel like I need one, because I'm not making sweeping statements about medical conditions.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:16 (nineteen years ago)

and are you good friends with Prince Charles??

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

I don't tend to form friendships with trolls, so bye bye!

Snooze clubs? I'll give 'em Rod and Whip Clubs! Make the smug bastards do some fucking work! HUP TWO THREE FOUR (cont. p. 94, Territorial Army manual)

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

haha i forgot about this
s/d places at the office to sleep during office hours

-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), June 9th, 2006.

Trolls? You ARE fucking trolling me, you cunt.

Yeah, bye. Your loss.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

The "Crap Nap" Cafe - you might be on to something there, Ken.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:28 (nineteen years ago)

well it's nice to have the post nap poo afterall.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

(if anyone has anything well-informed to say about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I'd be interested to read it)

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

Provided adequate nosegay pegs are provided (xpost).

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

What just happened there??

― Rumpsy Pumpsy (Rumpie), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

You forgot the nosepeg innit.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

i've had this idea 4 years ago.

-- ken c (pykachu10...), June 9th, 2006.

Ha, I did too!

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

and me, and so did my wife!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

Don't forget my cousin!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

the baby one?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Marcello, don't be a cunt about CFS, please. Thanks.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 June 2006 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

please don't say you're sick and tired of it

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

or "give it a rest"

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

Marcello, Hobart's not a troll, he's a lovely chap and a personal friend of many here who you've just heinously insulted. Are you going to apologise?

― Crimea River (Mark C), Friday, 9 June 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks for the support Mark, I appreciate it.

To be fair, I called him a cunt in return. And meant it. So I guess we're even.

It just annoys me when people say things like that and don't even justify it. Especially as there have been quite a few studies done on fatigue and the teaching profession, so it isn't even true.

....annnyway... I was going to let it drop, and perhaps I should. We're not going to kiss and make up. But that's just fine.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 9 June 2006 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

me and jerry the nipper thought this would be a good idea a long time ago when we were in NYC in the winter, with no where really to go during the day. I just wanted a friggin' nap. i wish i had a nap shop near my work, because sometimes at lunch I just want a nap. I usually have to take one in my car, and because it's like 95F outside right now, that's not going to be too comfortable.

One time I was so desperate for some shut-eye I took a little nap under the conference room table. Nobody thought it was cute. :(
