Nappr is an on-demand napping marketplace that enables people to find flexible and affordable accommodations at nearby hotels and other businesses to catch up on much-needed rest and meet the demands of their unique schedules.
Hello Product Hunters!!! 👋 👋
Nappr ZzZEO Jared here alongside my co-founder Daniel and we are SO ready to get you guys the siestas that you never had access to before. We currently have 780 properties in 23 countries and are growing quickly!
What is Nappr?
Nappr is like Airbnb, but for hourly on-demand napping (not multi-day lodging) and it is changing how people rest on the go. We provide a vast marketplace that people can use to find and book nap spaces from wherever they are, whenever they want to and at the venues of their choice, which can either be hotels or other businesses.
Why?
The idea for this was born when I was battling a bad bout of insomnia that was really hampering my day to day as a Software Engineer. I started drinking a lot more caffeine to compensate for all of the lost sleep, but I quickly realized that this was only a short-term workaround that quickly led to burnout. My overall production wasn't any higher because of it either. After researching some alternative options, I came across several studies that showed how beneficial napping could be and I instantly became hooked. It made me determined to make this practice affordable and accessible to anybody who needed it, and to give people a healthier option than chugging coffee and energy drinks all day.
Extensive research has shown that napping:
⚠️ Boosts Alertness
🧠 Improves Learning and Memory
😊 Lifts People's Spirits
🎨 Increases Productivity
⚡ Reduces Stress, and most importantly...
🔥 Helps Prevent Burnout
Who can benefit from Nappr?
🎉 Everyone!
But these specific use cases come to mind:
💊👨⚕️ Medical Workers, either during or after their shifts. Our research uncovered that many doctors and nurses get into car accidents while driving home tired.
✈️🧳 Airport Layover Travelers who are exhausted from jet lag and don't want to pay for a full night's rate at a hotel in between flights.
🧑🎓 Commuter Students who are cramming for a brutal exam and are too far from their places of residence to go home.
🧑💼 Office Workers who are in the middle of a brutal day and simply need a break.
😴😫 Anybody else who is exhausted and/or needs some respite. This could be somebody visiting friends/family at a hospital, a conference attendee who needs a break from all the networking mayhem, or maybe even someone who just wants to get a quick meditation session in.
At the moment we are live on our website (nappr.io) but we're also planning to release our iOS and Android mobile apps in the very near future so stay tuned for those!
Happy 💤ing!

Hahaha, I've wanted this so often when I travel. I hope it takes off!
I'm curious how you're sourcing spots for napping? I saw some in the FAQ on your site, but curious how you'll be sourcing at scale. 780 properties already is awesome.
Since you asked for feedback on the launch too - I think as a new user, my first thought is "is this in my city", and right now, there's a bit of friction (had to search 4 cities before seeing 1 with locations)
I'd love some type of screenshot or map on the landing page so I can see where you have locations before I search. ((Maybe could also include a 'pin' function where I can request/vote that you add a nap location in my city in 1-2 clicks', can use this data to reach out to businesses in that city.))
Congrats on the launch, hope this gets huge!!!
@esus Thank you!! We have a strategic partnership in place for the inventory and we'll have access to additional hotels from them in the next few months so that number will rise quite a bit. We're also planning on letting consumers host too so that's where this will really scale.
Really great feedback here on the screenshot/map idea and the voting! We'll try to get something like that in there soon.
@anna_kasumova Thanks Anna! Really good question actually, we should probably list that somewhere!
We're currently in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Scotland, France, India, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Oman, Brazil, Australia, Colombia, United Arab Emirates, Israel, Mexico, Tanzania, Denmark, South Africa, Netherlands, Pakistan and Qatar 👍
