Hi! We’re two IB graduates from Hong Kong. “The Uncommon Senses” Podcast revolves around the Theory of Knowledge(TOK), where we reflect on how we know what we claim to know. We believe that the critical thinking skills we gained from our TOK course have become increasingly vital in the 21st century, which allows people to see the world beyond our so-called common senses, and reconsider: to what extent are our common senses ‘common’? Therefore, we are continuing our TOK explorations here!

Sustainable Living Pod (Part 5): Take a Power Nap: Interview with the Nap Pod Project | Ep. #29

Hi everyone! Welcome to “the uncommon senses” Podcast. In this series, “Sustainable Living Pod”, we collaborate with Sustainable Smart Campus as a Living Lab in HKUST and explore technologies and projects by faculties and students that create a change to sustainability on campus and beyond. I'm your host, Telia.

An average human spends about ⅓ of their time asleep, yet due to demanding work schedules, high academic pressure and rigorous study schedules, many Hong Kongers and students suffer from sleep deprivation. Recently, there’s the rise of the concept of “ "power naps" to recharge and boost productivity.

Joining us today is Susu, a research assistant and lab manager, from the SSC project team – Nap Pods. Let’s dive in and see how these nap pods, located in the library and student center, promote sleep hygiene and improve mental health among students.
