If there’s one kind of exercise class we can throw our money and every fragment of our energy behind, it’s a napping class.
When David Lloyd thought up the concept of napping classes, or Napsercise as he calls it, he had one target market.
Can you guess it?
Parents, you guys. Because, well… obviously.
And so, parents in the UK can book into classes were all they have to do is turn up and sleep. Sleep.
As in, close your eyes and do nothing more than bask in the blissful state of not being awake, with no chance of being interrupted or woken or distracted.
The gym’s website explains:
“The frantic nature of modern life means that few of us seem to get enough sleep, and if you’re a parent, a good night’s rest becomes even more of a luxury. So we’re created a new group class – group napping classes for exhausted mums and dads to help boost their mental and physical wellbeing. Our mid-afternoon studio sleep sessions is 45-minutes long and is designed to reinvigorate the mind, the body and even burn the odd calorie.”
So, um, just to recap, you can now book into a sleeping class that also burns the odd calorie.
Lucky there’s now direct flights from Australia to London, ey?!

I thought that was already called yoga? My GF is gonna kill me when she reads this.
It's funny because my baby has just started sleeping through but I now have insomnia. I lie awake waiting to be called for. The only time I fall asleep easily is when I do yoga during the meditation!
Having my first baby changed my sleeping habits for life. I have no trouble falling asleep at night but after three babies and broken sleep it seemed to set up a pattern which is with me today.
My first baby is 58 this year.
