Does this not look wonderful or what? What would you say if I told you that there is now a place where you can go and get a great, relaxing power nap for 30 minutes which is going to fell like you’ve gotten 8 hours worth of sleep? Pretty great, huh?

Imaging being in you apartment on a sunday afternoon. You’ve been partying for the last couple of night, staying up til 4 am, drinking and dancing. Not an impossible situation as that could very well be me. Can’t tell you how many sundays I’ve spent in bed, just trying to catch up on lost sleep, but guess what! That can’t be done. A human being can’t actually catch up on lost sleep. Once you’ve “lost” is, you’ve lost it. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just recharge yor batteries somewhere to get a good start on your upcoming week? I’d kill for a place like that. And now we can all make this come true.

Yelo is a new concept of wellness that is based on sleep, reflexology, and massage. It’s a time efficient, relaxation that pocuses on mental and physical rejuvenation. The YeloNaps are proven to increase alertness and productivity, which is something the people in NY really are looking for. And God knows we need it.

Reflexology is aparently some kind of massage that restores balance and promotes a general sense of wellness through the application of gentle but deep pressure to specific reflex areas on the feet, hands and ears. Gimme, please!

The YeloNap is a sleep therapy system that takes place in private sleep cabins. When the nap begins, the zero-gravity YeloChair reclines to elevate your legs above your heart. This will slow down your pulse and encourage full relaxation within minutes. At wake-up time, the LED lights will simulate a sunrise for a gentle and natural awakening.

YeloNaps are available from a 20-minute minimum to a 40-minute maximum. You can choose the timing that suits you best within these two limits. Taking a nap for less than 20 minutes won’t provide you with enough rest, while a nap of more than 40 minutes will encourage a deep sleep, from which you might emerge feeling groggy.

I only have one thing to say about this: Genious. Who ever came up with this is a true genious. And to put the first Yelo Center in the busiest city in the world can’t be other than good for business. You can find the Yelo Center in Midtown Manhattan, 315 West 57th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues.

To prove that I’m not the only one to find this to be a good idea, I will give you some coments from the press:

Chicago Tribune
Napping at work without the guilt

“Yelo, the company that provides this full-sensory sleep experience, opened in bustling Midtown Manhattan last year, after founder and former marketing executive Nicolas Ronco saw firsthand the effects of too much work and too little sleep.”

Vogue
Can I buy some sleep?

“…it won’t be long before going for a nap is as common as going for a cappuccino. Lucky Manhattanites have been enjoying the benefits of sleep pods for some months. Yelo on West 57th Street is a walk-in clinic wholly dedicated to giving you a good rest.”

New York Times - Style Magazine
Suite Dreams

“Somewhere betweens a power nap and a disco nap lies Yelo. The new spot on West 57th Street is getting New Yorkers to take a load off - in the purely holistic sense.”
