A sleep pod can secure a user inside and promote napping. The pod can include biofeedback mechanisms for aiding users in the inducement of sleep for short periods of time and for use as a fatigue management solution. The pod can include a housing including a base to support cushioning and a human being, a hinged lid, closable onto the base to securely include the human being, and a sleep control module supporting at least one of: temperature, security, noise cancellation, sound generation, vibration production mechanisms, lighting, ventilation, and communications. The housing can be made any combination of fiberglass, wood, plastic, metal, and rubber. The sleep control module can support wireless communication with a handheld device associated with the human being, and can support wireless communication with a remote server via a data communication network. |
