From the Archives: Power Napping in 1993

On this day 22 years ago, Rick Connelly ’96 expounded on a topic in The Dartmouth’s opinion section that will be all too familiar to most current students: power napping in the library. Hoping to find a study spot that might diminish his procrastination, Connelly wrote, he in fact discovered that all of his favorite work spots were “ perfectly conducive to sleep.” Dozing on a textbook, then, became a part of his daily routine.

In his column, Connelly noted the Tower Room, the Reserves Corridor and Sanborn Library were particularly ideal nap spots. It’s not surprising, then, to also note that those spots are where you’ll most likely find softly snoring students today!
