Desk/Sleeping area...for those long days

This is bizarre but I know stage managers who have slept worse places when the cot is in use.

It's like one of those Japanese capsule hotels. Cool!

Great idea - but I'd worry 1) the producers will use this instead of providing housing or 2) I will hit my head when I sit up suddenly, awakened by some emergency or other....

That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George was still working for the Yankees and had a secret bed space built into his desk.  Hmm...

I think the desk-bed should become standard in SM offices :)

But that would imply that there is time for sleep  ;)
