The Japanese have got the answer to today’s Urban Sprawl, it’s called the Sleep Capsule. The sleep capsule was designed for businessmen who needed an inexpensive alternative to the standard hotels available in places like Tokyo.
The Sleep Capsules are found primarily at Capsule Hotels and appear to be quite cozy, that is if you don’t mind sleeping in a rectangular box and the walls falling in on you as you wake up in a claustrophobic panic. They are intended to sleep one comfortably, so they say, so probably not a place for you and the wife, although I say go for it. Bring the relatives too, gramps and Grammy will love ya for it.
Some of the features that are included with the Sleep Capsules are Night panel (w/ alarm clock), Night table, Room light, Mirror, Ventilation register or ventilator and T.V’s on upgraded units, it is a perfectly cheap Tokyo hotel.
And what could be sweeter than to be locked up in a coffin like capsule, sipping your japanese tea. Can life get any better?
