Finals week is fatiguing, to say the least, and it can be difficult to remember to listen to your body, which includes getting some rest here and there. If you’re too busy studying, here is your reminder to take a quick, refreshing nap. Here are the best places to snooze on campus that aren’t the library.
No. 1: A corner couch in the law building lounge
This little corner couch is the perfect place to stretch out and rest. The law building is silent as can be, so you won’t have to worry about noisy distractions.
No. 2: A random bench on the second floor of the law building
It may not be the most private, but I doubt anyone will judge at this time of year. The hallway’s dim lighting and the squishy padding of the bench is an ideal combination for a power nap.
No. 3: The ASUI Lounge
An atmosphere filled with the subtle sounds of students typing away, pages flipping and the news playing in the background makes for a perfect spot to sleep for a little while. Plus, you can grab a bagel when you wake up.
No. 4: The Overlook Lounge in the ISUB
The Overlook Lounge has an ideal ambiance for a nice midday nap, with the nearby sounds of people answering phones, footsteps up the stairs and a nice view out the window onto a seemingly barren campus. This cozy nook is sure to provide a nice snooze.
No. 5: A random bench on the fourth floor of the ISUB
This bench, under a sunny, private window, is an ideal location for you to rest your eyes amidst a stressful study session. The fourth floor of the ISUB is lacking in traffic, so you likely won’t have too much disruption.
No. 6: Lounge area on the third floor of the TLC
Group naps may be just as important as group study sessions. This comfortable lounge area near the Dean of Students offices provides a productive atmosphere while you are studying, and a relaxing atmosphere to doze off when you need to.
No. 7: Lounge area on the first floor of the Pitman Center
Put your feet up, enjoy some nearby art and rest a while. This lounge area near the Campus Visit offices offers a socially distanced seating area for you to crank out that final paper or to put in your headphones and snooze away.
No. 8: Corner couches on the second floor of the Pitman Center
This comfortable corner couch can be pushed together for you to stretch out or curl up for a quick power nap, so you’re nice and refreshed to keep up your productive study session. You can grab a coffee from Starbucks when you’re finished to celebrate.
