It's a sign of the times when major cities around the world open up nap cafes.
From Tokyo to London, Seoul to Paris, the list of cities opening up nap cafes has been growing in recent months, with busy, overworked and burnt-out urbanites welcoming the idea of being able to take a power nap in the middle of the day.
One of the newest additions is Madrid, which saw the opening of Spain's first sleep cafe earlier this summer, aptly called Siesta & Go.
Given the country's long-standing tradition of closing up shop for hours at mid-day to escape the summer heat, it makes sense that Madrid would be the latest city to adopt the trend.
For about US$16 customers can retreat to a private bedroom and squeeze in a power nap during their lunch hour.
The Zen Bar a Sieste in Paris also offers locals a quiet retreat in the middle of the bustling city, with massage chairs that invite guests to indulge in a snooze, and other services like foot massages, fish pedicures and Shiatsu massages designed to de-stress their guests.
