I just found out about it a month ago. It's pretty nice. My handler showed it to me, and while I was there I saw a lunchlady scrunched up on the floor scratching her ass. Hm. Made me think twice about lunches.

Anyway, do you take advantage of your sleeping room? I haven't used mine yet.

nope I dont think I can. It's quite alright as I prefer to be productive at work.

I will make full use of it during winter/summer vacation though...when I have to seat warm while the Korean teachers are on their breaks.

Ours is always locked. I've only gone in once, and that was to retrieve something that was stored in there. Whenever I pass by, the lights are off and it's unoccupied.

Yep. The public schools have two Resting Rooms; one for the males and one for the females. The Resting Rooms are divided into two areas: a lounge and sleeping platform.

Two Wall Street Institute branches also have a bed in a back room. It came in handy!

I love it too. They keep the ondol on high so it is really comfy.

We have a little 'snoozy annexe' off of our teachers room. I've never climbed in myself, but I frequently see feet sticking out the end of it whenever I go to the coffee machine. Most of my CTs take 'power naps' on their desks throughout the day. I never do it, but my handler has often told me to 'relax my eyes' for a while.

I might wander in in my jimjams tomorrow just to see what he says.

I never use the one at my school. That sleeping platform isn't too comfortable.

I was referring to the TV program Bottom. (drawing room)

I haven't seen the sleeping room at my public school maybe there isn't one. There are a couple of couches in the subject teachers room but last year one of my co-teachers was paranoid about getting seen sleeping so only dozed for a few minutes at a time.

I've totally napped in the sleeping room, although I've never seen anyone else do it. LOL. Get caught all the time too. I dunno if it's a taboo thing or what, I just think it's pretty awesome.

My co-teachers also power nap at their desks, which I can't manage.

It's only the females that I have seen do this. There are days when I'm worn out and could fall asleep at my desk. Some teachers even keep pillows or cushions in their desk drawer to pull out and take a quick nap.
