[Noisebridge-discuss] When were bunk-beds installed?

[bfb]

To reiterate, I plan to use and maintain the napping pods. I apologize 
for not having done so yet. I would like to see the HSNPs become an 
appreciated feature of the space.

No way do sleep studies at Noisebridge depend on elevated pods. I prefer 
to focus on the health and social benefits. Recalling the many times 
I've been in an office, eating much pizza, sensing my afternoon would be 
much more productive if I could just bed down for 20 minutes. And then 
thinking to myself, there's nowhere around where napping is appropriate. 
I've been stirred well resting my eyes in repose at plazas downtown, 
unnecessarily interrupted.

The social benefits have been elaborated on the wiki.

Do we feel it has been less painful to wake folks sleeping on couches? 
Has couch crashing at Noisebridge tapered? Ramped up?

I understand Noisebridge is absolutely NOT a place to get a good night's 
rests. But if a weary eyed hacker needs a siesta before carrying on, 
sounds good to me.
