Best Places to Nap at the University of Oregon

It is safe to say that college students are often sleep-deprived. Health experts recommend that we should be getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night, but sometimes that may seem impossible. From the demands of every-day life, to balancing classes, work, and studying, your schedule may not allow you to get the proper amount of sleep that you need. Although napping is by no means a replacement for sleep, it can help make up for lost hours and improve your mental and physical functions.

The University of Oregon Nap Map is a list of places on campus that students can use as a resource to get a power nap. All suggestions are from current students at University of Oregon - main campus. Rankings are based on comfort, room temperature, noise level, lighting, availability, privacy, cleanliness and safety. Click on a nap spot to learn more!




Here are a few tips for your nap:
- Limit your nap to 15-30 minutes.
- Set an alarm to wake you up.
- Nap in the late morning or early afternoon.
- Use your backpack as a pillow.

Naps can help restore alertness, enhance performance, and reduce mistakes and accidents. I hope that you can find your happy napping place.
