Sleeper boxes

Now this is a really interesting idea
How many times have you been at the airport, tired, bored and with a few lay over hours to kill?
Introducing the "Sleep Box" concept. It’s a booth, that has Wi-Fi, LCD display, electrical outlets and a bed with sheets (they do get changed of course). You can rent one of these boxes for 15 minutes or more to get a well needed power nap before whisking yourself off to your final destination.


These little pods can even have bunk beds inside if you want to get rid of your kids for a few minutes or so


The interior does well to remind you of the sleeping quarters on a space ship














Now I don't know how many of you have seen Futurama the animated series, but this does remind me quite a bit of the suicide booths they use.


Quick and painless or slow and painful




















That reminds me. Did you know "a suicide box" was the nickname given to the vehicles used during World War II that would transport soldiers onto beaches for raids. They were given the nickname based on the fact that when the doors opened, the soldiers inside were wide open and exposed to enemy gunfire.
