They do it in Asia. They do it in Europe. And now, they’re doing it America. They finally put napping rooms in airports, and here’s how you can benefit.

Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson is the first U.S. airport to offer five small cubicles where travelers can grab peace and quiet on a long layover or delay.

Operated by Minute Suites, these sound-proof rooms cost $30 an hour and include a daybed sofa, pillows and blankets, a small TV, and Wi-Fi access.

And yes, there is an alarm clock and wake-up call.

San Francisco International airport is planning to offer similar services in 2010 with a company called Unique Retreat. Now here’s the catch.

U.S. airports have tried this before, with limited success.

After all, these rooms aren’t cheap, and on domestic travel, long layovers generally aren’t planned—they just happen.

But this concept has long been popular in other countries.

Singapore’s Changi Airport is known for its comfortable napping rooms, Hong Kong airport has several resting and shower lounges, and some European airports have mini-hotel rooms called Yotel units.

So Stateside, maybe it’s just a matter of time before we get the hang of it.
