For everyone in this city running on four hours and a cold brew.
Refresh Naps is a private room with a real bed, booked by the half hour, a few minutes from your desk. Not a phone booth. Not a lounge chair. A dark, quiet, clean place to actually sleep, then go back and finish your day like a person.
Finance
You were on the desk at 6:30am. There are four hours left and a dinner after. Thirty minutes horizontal beats a fourth coffee.
Tech
You shipped at 2am, stood up at 10, and your calendar is solid until six. Reset before the afternoon block instead of pushing through it.
Law
Doc review since breakfast, a client call at four, and you are reading the same paragraph for the third time. Twenty minutes fixes that.
Healthcare
You are back on in six hours and home is forty minutes each way. Sleep near the hospital instead of losing half the gap to the subway.
The afternoon crash is biology, not weakness.
Human alertness dips in the early afternoon whether or not you ate lunch. It is a feature of the body clock. Most people fight it with caffeine. Sleeping through it works better.
The early-afternoon dip is a normal feature of the circadian cycle, which is why sleep researchers point to this window for napping.
About a third of American adults sleep less than seven hours
Seven hours is the floor for adults. Roughly one in three falls below it, and that number has barely moved in a decade.
CDC, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance SystemA short nap lifts alertness for hours afterward
In controlled testing, a ten-minute nap improved alertness and cognitive performance immediately, with some benefits still measurable more than two hours later.
Brooks & Lack, Sleep, 2006Under twenty minutes avoids the grogginess
Wake before deep sleep starts and you skip sleep inertia, the foggy feeling that makes long naps backfire. Past about thirty minutes, the risk climbs.
CDC NIOSH, shift work and long hours trainingA brief nap does not wreck your night
Short daytime naps do not meaningfully reduce the sleep pressure you need to fall asleep at night, which is why they are recommended for day-shift workers.
CDC NIOSH, shift work and long hours trainingWe only put claims on this page that trace back to published research or federal health guidance. Naps help with short-term alertness. They do not repay long-term sleep debt, and nothing here is medical advice. If you are exhausted every single day, that is worth raising with a doctor.
Pre-order a nap for $20.
The most useful thing you can do after voting. A pre-order is a real signal we can show a landlord, and you get the nap when the doors open.
One 30-minute nap, redeemable for a year after we open
Or back the whole thing.
Votes tell us where. Backing gets us there. This is an early venture, and the people funding it now are the reason there is a door to walk through later.
To be clear about what this is: backing is a contribution to help us open, not a purchase of equity and not an investment. There is no ownership, no return and no security being offered here. If we never open, we refund you.
We'll email you build updates here. Payment is handled by Stripe.
