The Power Nap Capsule is an interesting concept which is built on the belief that napping could actually be good for health and improve our concentration. To prove this belief, NASA conducted a series of researches and the results were found to support the belief. The capsule comes with an undulated shape inside and makes sure your head and legs are above the lumbar region which helps reduce the stress on your back. This not only reduces stress but also improves circulation, align your spines, and relax you almost completely.

The capsule is made of calfskin leather and 6″ cold foam which makes sure your body is positioned right and rested well. The sleep surface itself is longer than a king size mattress and would make sure your feet never need to worry about stretching. The mattress is enclosed in a frame which creates a capsule like environment and that would most certainly make you feel private and secure. In fact this could become your very own personal space.

The Power Nap Capsule is manufactured using high quality fibreglass-reinforced plastic. When installed in an office or industry, it can provide workers with an opportunity to rejuvenate themselves.

The tragic death of the temporary Wal-Mart employee has opened a Pandora’s Box to what lies amidst crowded workplaces. Wal-Mart could have easily avoided Jdimytai Damour’s death which was caused when eager customers barged in when he opened the doors. The United Food and commercial Workers Union criticized Wal-Mart without mercy and said that if only the company had taken some responsibility to control the crowds, to set up barricades and to channelize the moving people to a certain discipline.

Even the employees did not have proper training which Wal-Mart was obliged to provide. The company sounded apologetic and regretful but that isn’t enough to bring back a dead person from the grave. The incident took place on the ‘Black Friday’ the day after thanksgiving which also is traditionally the biggest shopping day in the US.

The UFCW has been particularly critical about Wal-mart’s approaches towards its employees and safety standards. This incident may damage the company’s already flagging brand image and loyalty. Most see the company as a hegemonic establishment that refuses to accept responsibilities for its employee’s safety.
