    Shut-eye Pod? - Sizzyphus
    A postcard summarizes the unit as: a permanently installed collapsible urban rest and sleeping pod.”

    It calls for two units per parking space. Each pod would be unlocked by a coin-operated meter.

    The finished product would have a type of tent material with a zippered closure.

    After sleeping or nap time, a solar powered sensor would fold it back up.
