US firm sells sleep by the minute

"PowerNap Sleep Centers will open its MinneNAPolis store next month offering six themed rooms which can be rented out by the 'dead on their feet'.

At a cost of about 70 cents (39 pence) per minute, the sleepy shopper or tired business person can catch up on kip.

The new shop will be in the massive Mall of America in Minneapolis."(BBC News.Com)

'Awww...the little guy's all tuckered out.'

"Julie Hanson, a spokeswoman for the Mall of America, said the new sleep shop will let people 'escape it all'.

'We think it would be really good for husbands at Christmas, when their wives are power shopping,' she explained."('')

So, when you've simply exhausted yourself shopping for things in a giant amusement park, you can take a little nappy nap for 70 cents a minute. You rich pussy.

"MinneNAPolis will offer rooms called Asian Mist, Tropical Isle, Deep Space, Key West, 12 Fathoms and Oasis."('')
