The Rejuvenation room at the Bakke Recreation & Wellbeing Center includes three nap pods for members to use to rest, recharge, and relax with a 20-minute nap. The nap pods are free to all members and are available on a first-come basis. No appointment necessary.
Studies have shown that a 15 – 20-minute nap boosts memory, cognitive skills, creativity, and energy levels. Sleep is an important component to your overall wellbeing.
The nap pods are located on the second floor, in the Wellbeing area. All personal belongings should be secured in a locker. We are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Day use lockers can be found in multiple locations on Level 2.
We ask that you do not use the nap pods after physical activity. Refrain from having conversations. Please use a quiet voice within the nap pod area. Keep magnetic objects away from the nap pods.
