Sleep is incredibly important to a college student who is trying to achieve scholastic excellence. It can help keep our bodies healthy, improve our focus levels and increases energy levels. However, college students seem to have difficulty finding time for sleep in between the rigors of school, extracurriculars and attempting to maintain a social life.  

     Have you ever wished you were less tired or had more energy while working on that paper or project? You probably grab an energy drink and then work on through your exhaustion until you pass out or curl up in a corner in the library and attempt to nap. Wouldn't it be great if you could go somewhere on campus to comfortably nap for 20 minutes and become reenergized instead? 
     By signing this petition you will be showing the University of Maryland's administration to Wake Up! and provide its students with a safe and comfortable place they can go to nap. We are advocating for the University's first Terrapin Rest Stop. This would be located in convenient locations across campus, such as in Stamp or McKeldin library, so students can take a power nap while studying or between classes without having to go all the way back to their apartments.
