During midterms (or finals, or really almost any time after the first month of classes) you start to see students in various states of unconsciousness sprawled all over campus. Not just on the couches in the study lounges, although certainly there, but also dozing at desks in the library, on the stairs outside Main building, on benches in any given hallway, and once in a while on the floor. Having been up, myself, since 4:30am, I sympathize with the person from my lab section this morning who wondered aloud why NYU doesn’t just give in and set up an official Nap Center of some kind. She even had the logistical details worked out: you could leave your ID at the front desk in exchange for the loan of a travel alarm clock and space on some sort of bed or couch or cot or what have you. You’d get your little airline pillow and token blanket and drift blissfully into your hard-earned twenty minutes of slumber before returning to study for your next midterm. Oh yeah, my next midterm. I should probably go study for that.
