[Noisebridge-discuss] Are people okay with people sleeping at the Noisebridge space?

[Corey McGuire]

How to power nap with caffeine.  Use this trick to crack yourself out with
out "drugs" and without hogging up all the couches at Noisebridges.  This is
a simple and effective tool and though it will crack you out, you will at
least get another 4 hours of alertness without being a burden on society:

   1. Set alarm for 15 minutes.
   2. Drink caffeine QUICKLY!
   3. Pass out.
   4. Wake up when your alarm sounds.
   5. Eat something solid, but small.

You will have convinced your brain that you have slept enough.  You won't
have, but you will have flipped three singles that will satisfy your urge to
sleep.
