That's when the idea of a napping station at U-M's Shapiro Undergraduate Library was born. Bazbaz and Central Student Government, of which he is a participant, are piloting a napping station at the library.
"Folks could use a quick solution if they're tired," Bazbaz said. "It's been proven that naps can help your performance."
The station has six cots and lockers for students to stow their belongings as they sleep.
It's on the first floor of the library, where staff are working 24-7.

"The students seem to like it.
It's very simple set up," said Stephen Griffes, an operations supervisor at the Shapiro library who worked with students to set up the station.
"It's had a much larger positive response than we anticipated."

Griffes said U-M is considering setting up a napping station on North Campus, in the Duderstadt Center, if the one in Shapiro continues to go well.
The Shapiro pilot began during finals week in April, and is continuing during the spring, summer and fall semesters.

For Bazbaz, the station is also an illustration that students at U-M are overworked.
"This is also kind of a message to professors and schools.
If there's a need for sleeping places in the library, there might be a little too much work," Bazbaz said.
