Nap Time: A Tier List

Posted on by

Hello everyone! If you don’t know me, my name’s Meagan, I’m a senior, and I’m an avid lover of naps. In this article, I’m going to rank all the places I’ve napped on campus. My qualifications are that I’ve been here for four years and was a deeply sleep-deprived Formula PM. Enjoy :) 

S-Tier

  • Shop Bean Bags
    • PEAK in between waterjetting shifts.
  • Eduspace
    • A CLASSIC, centrally located and very comfy. Tragic that it’s not open anymore.
  • Waterfall Bean Bags
    • SOO GOOD; deeply underutilized.
  • NEW EH suite couches
    • *Chef’s Kiss* 
  • Couches in the O
    • THERE USED TO BE A COUCH. I literally zonked out for like a whole hour here. Best nap of my life <3

A-Tier

  • The PARC (MAC 3rd floor couches)
    • I napped here during a Power E all-nighter and was awoken by the loudest thunder and lightning I’ve ever experienced. The couch was comfy though; would do again. 
  • Memorial Lounge
    • Helpful if you don’t want to be disturbed.
  • Quiet Reading Room Green Chairs
    • Trust these are so good; a little public though.
  • The Common
    • Good couch, a little too firm.
  • My First Year Room Floor
    • Many a nap was taken here, not just by me. Long live Mealin. 
  • WH 4th Floor Bean Bags
    • Great, but you may get some strange looks.
  • OLD suite couches
    • Comfy but hella old, like who knows what has been there?
  • Hammocks outside Milas 
  • Great Lawn 
  • The Grass in the O

B-Tier

  • DesNat/CD Couches
    • Just don’t think about what else has happened on these couches. I have napped here during classes and CD meetings. 
  • Downstairs Team Room with Couch
    • RIP this couch. It was kinda dingy though. 
  • Library Floor
    • First year after 4E shenanigans. 
  • Therapy Room
    • Also, RIP that this doesn’t exist anymore.
  • Jam Room
    • While my friends were actively practicing for their band. 
  • WH Antelounge Benches
    • Surprisingly good.
  • WH Lounge Couches
    • Classic, happened more times than I can remember lol 
  • The Stone Wall in the O
  • The Aderondak Chairs in the O
  • The Parcel B Web
    • This one was brief but full of whimsy 
  • Formula Car
    • Ok, technicallyyy, maybe this wasn’t a full nap, but it was aspirational.

C-Tier

  • E-Proto Room
    • Lowkey could’ve been worse?
  • SNORD
    • C’mon, this is a classic. It’s uncomfy though, and I feel bad for the professors. 
  • Crescent Room
    • Sometimes it’s the only space open. 
  • Armchairs Outside of the Board Room
    • Yes, there are chairs there. No, they’re not very comfortable to sleep in. 
  • Pool Room Window Cubbies
    • Yes, this is for real. It was a tad embarrassing…
  • West Hall Nooks – Usually 3rd or 4th floor
    • Usually, while doing Circuits or ESA. :(
  • Floor While Doing “ASMR” 30-Second Videos
    • You’ll have to watch the 30-second video. Yes, I actually slept through that. In the same room. On the floor.

D-Tier

  • Random MAC Classrooms
    • These naps SUCK and only happen out of desperation.
  • Normal Team Rooms
    • Meh, I feel like the other people in the library are judging me. 
  • Outside IT
    • Doing the “head nod” while waiting for them to fix my computer. 
  • LPB Workbench
    • Very bad, no good.
  • Dave’s Pool
    • JK, this didn’t happen.

That’s it, folks! Consider this a warning to get some sleep and not overcommit. Or, if not, think of it as a helpful guide? Whatever floats your boat.
