Whether you are suffering from jetlag or hope to make the long wait for your next flight a dream, a pod-nap could be the answer to your bed-time prayers.
Travellers and tourists finding themselves stuck in the departure lounge at Abu Dhabi International Airport are now able to catch up on some shut-eye in a futuristic-looking 'sleeping pod'.
Unveiled this week, the 'GoSleep' pod offers time away from noise, light and crowds of the airport and only costs £8 for one hour's alone-time.
The 'GoSleep' feature a partial or fully enclosed sliding shade where customers can sit comfortably and enjoy a peaceful moment alone, or take a nap while entirely cocooned inside the pod.
Ten pods have been installed at Abu Dhabi International Airport with a further 35 on order for later this year.
The airport's pods boasts wifi internet access, along with power points to charge electronic equipment.
Mohammed Al Bulooki, chief commercial officer at Abu Dhabi Airports Company, said: ‘The introduction of 'GoSleep' sleeping pods is another step towards exceeding customers' expectations and delivering world-class levels of service.

Anyone here recall who said "I want to be alone" and what film that famous line is from?
No googling and I'll check back in 6 hours (9:30 PM PDT) with the answer or sooner or later.

You're right about Ms. Garbo and I have a VHS copy of the film.
Anyone know the name of the film?
Hint: Both John and Lionel Barrymore have acting roles in the film.......so does Joan Crawford.
