Officials promise restorative laziness as part of productivity reform.
In a rare act of compassion, Maharashtra’s government has approved public Napping Zones for overworked citizens. According to BBC India, these relaxation pods will be installed near corporate offices, metro stations, and political rallies. The program is dubbed Mission Power Nap 2025.
We realized people were already sleeping in meetings, said Minister Patel. So we thoughtwhy not make it official?
The zones come with climate control, lullaby playlists, and security guards trained to whisper gently. Participants can book a 15-minute session through an app that rates snore quality.
Economists predict a 20% boost in productivity, though skeptics argue employees will just start napping on the way to the nap zone. It’s the thought that counts, said one HR executive, dozing mid-interview.
Corporate leaders are enthusiastic, calling it a step toward humane capitalism. Public opinion surveys show 85% support, 10% still asleep, and 5% wondering if snacks are included.
The government insists this initiative isn’t about lazinessit’s about strategic unconsciousness.
