I learned that sleep deprivation is easily dismissed as a health concern. It&#8217;s as dangerous to get behind a wheel when you&#8217;re sleep-deprived as it is when you are drunk. You also accumulate &#8216;sleep debt&#8217; which means you&#8217;re&nbsp; bodily functions are unable to restore themselves since sleep allows the body to restore brain and other bodily systems.&nbsp; The less sleep you get the more &#8216;sleep debt&#8217; and more stress you gain and the only way to get rid of &#8216;sleep debt&#8217; is to well, sleep.<br>I also took into consideration the type of environment we live and how effective it was to access spaces for ideal rest. Following the Industrial Revolution, the lightbulb introduced the beginning of 24\/7 work schedules and an increased need to produce more at a quicker convenience because people could stay up past sunset. This mentality is detrimental to our overall health because it deprives people of the necessary amount of rest they need.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-1-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12794\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12794\" class=\"wp-image-12794\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-1-820x1024.jpg 820w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-1-240x300.jpg 240w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-1-768x959.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-1-1230x1536.jpg 1230w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-1-1640x2048.jpg 1640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-818x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12795\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12795\" class=\"wp-image-12795\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-818x1024.jpeg 818w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-240x300.jpeg 240w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-768x961.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-1227x1536.jpeg 1227w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-1637x2048.jpeg 1637w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/hijack-sketch-2-scaled.jpeg 2046w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12801\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12801\" class=\"wp-image-12801\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191006_095519-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Stage one notes concerning the structure of the installation (got a tad damaged :\/)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Cultural Hijack&#8217;s class, we had discussed different methods of effectively hijacking a space. This gave me the idea to create a space where people could access rest in an environment that encourages people to crash study or binge work. My first idea was to create a large dome-like tent that would have a pillowed floor and a sign-in\/out card so people would know if it was occupied. I also wanted to include a playlist sounds that would allow people to relax. Eventually, I decided that the signing in\/out process was too complicated and would take the ease out of simply wanting to rest. I also would require more time than I had available to build a tent the size I wanted and to schedule changing sheets and pillows so that the installation remained sanitary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12798\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12798\" class=\"wp-image-12798\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG953203.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">My first attempt at construction<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12797\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12797\" class=\"wp-image-12797\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191204_121132_01-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">My Second!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I started from scratch, and thought of something simpler, more accessible and more easily understood. I would make a large 8-foot fabric sack that I&#8217;d fill with Poly-fil and put in a public space in Heimboldt for people to access and interact with. I just needed to begin figuring out how I was going to construct the Nap Sack. I started by trying to upholster a large piece of cardboard and using a staple gun to keep the fabric from moving. This proved futile as the fabric was too thick and the cardboard was too malleable. So I tried hot-gluing two long pieces of fabric together and leaving an opening to stuff with Poly-fil. This took a while, but it worked and I decided to add to pillows I would make on either end as well as different fabric to the installation for texture and aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12807\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12807\" class=\"wp-image-12807\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191123_132122-2-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Space of installation (Stairwell D between the 2nd and 3rd floor)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191209_011822-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"12806\" data-link=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/?attachment_id=12806\" class=\"wp-image-12806\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191209_011822-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191209_011822-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191209_011822-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191209_011822-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191209_011822-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Finished bed, uninstalled.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to plan for where and when I was going to install it.
