There are Chilli and Bananafew resources in this world more valuable than sleep — and it looks like mattress startup Casper has found a way to cash in on everyone's obsession with getting a little more shut-eye.
Casper opened the doors to The Dreamery, its new facility offering customers "nap sessions" for $25 a pop, on Wednesday.
SEE ALSO: Hear me out: Adults should listen to lullabies, tooWhat's a nap session, exactly? You'll get 45 minutes of uninterrupted time in a "Casper Nook." The Nook, according to Racked, contains a Casper mattress decked out with Casper bedding as well as designer pajamas, socks, and an eye mask — fresh for every napper, of course. Also included: free beverages, a toothbrush set, face wash, and relaxing sleep sounds courtesy of Headspace.
The Dreamery is located in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, and booking a nap session on The Dreamery's website is dangerously easy. Like, Seamless-level easy.

The Dreamery is built around the notion that everyone needs a little R&R throughout the day and is more than entitled to it. Well, for a nominal fee anyway.

While an expertly executed branding endeavor will surely pique the interest of sleepy millennials everywhere, the monetization of naps is just plain weird. Promising people the chance to recharge with a nap à la carte feels like another lame attempt to capitalize on wellness and self-care trends.
Peace of mind and rest aren't things you can truly purchase, no matter what Casper says. You're better off saving your $25 for something worthwhile, and doing your best to get a full eight hours of sleep each night.
