Beat the queues and sleep at your office during the Olympics!

Work in London and worried about travel chaos during the Olympics? With Great Britain set to play host to thousands of visitors this summer, travel networks are due to be stretched to the limit.

But quirky company Podtime have come up with a novel way of beating the problem - micro sleep pods for office workers! With hundreds of office workers expected to use the Olympics as an excuse for a day off, some offices are taking no chances and installing sleep pods for weary workers, so they don't have to leave the office for the duration of the games!

Fitted with a single mattress each pod is lockable so you can keep your belongings safe whilst you snooze and has ventilation at either end for fresh air to circulate. A standard model is kitted out with a storage shelf, mirror, LED lights and a power point. You can even pimp your (miniature) pad with a range of extras such a digital radio, alarm clock or even a TV and DVD.
