In the modern economy, everybody is overworked. If you are struggling to procure a decent life for yourself, you are most probably slogging your ass off. The work culture in China is even more taxing. With this in mind, a startup named Xiangshui has introduced ‘nap capsules' for overworked white-collar workers.

Sleepy employees like us can rent a nap capsule for half an hour during the day and recharge their overworked brains. The capsules are fitted with a USB charger and power plugs to recharge your phone.

Workers access the pods through an app, unlocking and locking the capsule via it. Customers are charged 10 yuan ($1.47 i.e. Rs 94) per half-hour.

Japan already has a similar service in the form of capsule hotels, but they are not as cheap as the nap capsules. A hotel chain called NineHotels in Japan lets its guests rent rooms only for 9 hours and even offers beds on hourly basis.

Lack of sleep is one of the biggest factors behind decreased productivity. A number of companies across the world, recognizing the importance of a power nap, have been providing their employees with napping services.
