Re sleep hacking: the 20 minute kind is pretty common, but mine has been more like the 1-hour kind and I do it after work (since I like to stay up late). Is there a knack to sleeping 1 hour without waking up groggy / slow ? I dunno.<br>
<br>too often people who nap at NB are inconsiderate of others, taking up a seat that is needed or blocking access some way. <br><br>IMHO if naps are allowed there should be a designated nap space for one with a sign that encourages sharing. Then it would be implicit that other areas are Not for Napping.<br>

</div>I think people shouldn't make a habit of it, and I'm not opposed to<br>
waking up those who do.<br>
<br>
I am opposed to officially banning napping (which I'm assuming is what<br>
you're actually getting at). I've been unconscious there myself a few<br>
times, and I know a number of sleep hackers (people have joked about<br>
this, but I'm totally serious) who've visited Noisebridge and would have<br>
been been significantly inconvenienced if they had to leave to take<br>
their scheduled 20 minute nap.<br>
<br>
I think we all agree that using Noisebridge as one's residence is a<br>
failure to be excellent, but I actually find some varieties of residing<br>
there which don't include sleeping at all (eg, staking out one's own<br>
area and being there nearly all the time) to be more problematic than<br>
occasional sleeping. I don't think we need to make any rules about that<br>
either though; just talking to people seems to work well enough.<br>
<br>
I understand that some of those who take it upon themselves to wake up<br>
sleeping people at NB would much prefer to be able to say "we all agreed<br>
there is a rule that nobody can ever be asleep here". But, we don't<br>
actually all agree about that. There are a myriad of ways to not be<br>
excellent, and we aren't likely to agree on a set of them to make and<br>
enforce specific rules about, so I think we ought to deal with this<br>
class of unexcellent behavior the same way as any other: by reasoning<br>
with people.<br>

ps: the first google hit I see for "sleep hacking" is about Rachel<br>
McConnell, who afaik does not sleep at Noisebridge :)<br>
