Numerous studies from famous institutions have proven the effectivity of power-napping. Marc Rosenkind conducted a study for the NASA that proved that reaction can improve up 16% and that loss of concentration can be reduced by up to 34%.
Implications - Stressful work days have people craving the comfort of sleep. Stylish beds designed for ergonomic purposes combine the best characteristics of a designer item -- attractiveness and function. As people go through their exhausting 9-5 routine, it becomes all the more important that furniture companies continue to put the idea of comfort first ahead of design aesthetics.
