The academic institution shows a deeper understanding of the well-being of its students
Studying at university can be exhausting what with the endless number of assignments and stacks of books to read. And the libraries are so quiet and sleep-inducing, it makes you want to just pass out and doze off sometimes right there on the reading desk.
Well, this year, if you’re a student at the University of Lille you have an even better option - taking a nap at one of the two special sleeping capsules located in the Lilliad, as the university library is known.
The sleeping capsules feature a futuristic design and are equipped with a mattress and a lock so the users will not be disturbed during their napping.
It goes without saying that this implies that there are some rules to be followed, however.
Only one person can use the pods at a time, so there can be no funny business. And while the university has not set a maximum duration for the naps, a sign does recommend "a short rest time." Also, no food or drink is allowed inside.
The University of Lille decided to experiment with the placement of the sleeping capsules as a way to improve the well-being of its students in the framework of the LIBEL'UL project.
The program involves deploying a multitude of actions aimed at better supporting students in their studies (course, orientation, etc.) but also more generally in their lives (health, sleep, employment).
"These capsules may seem like a gimmick, but in reality, they respond to the observation that we made that many students are scholarship holders, many work outside, many are tired because they work outside while pursuing their studies," explains Esther Dehoux, vice-president of the University of Lille, quoted by France Bleu.
In addition, two sleeping armchairs (but not pods) are also available at the Law and Management Faculty, on the Moulins campus of Lille University. More sleeping capsules will be installed at the university library on the Pont de Bois campus once its renovation is completed.
