The nap is an elusive prey, always slipping through our weary fingers. Relax and recharge with today's Groupon: for $46, you get a one-hour nap and massage combo at YeloSpa near Columbus Circle. Yelo has proprietary nap technology designed to pack your nap with refreshment. Upon entering the peaceful hub of serenity, you'll be whisked to a private nap portal, complete with zero gravity–simulating Yelo Chairs, a soothing massage, and customized scents, sound, and sights.

Created by Nicolas Ronco, the spa was created with the belief that, like iPods and vampires, people too need to take time out to recharge. All treatments take place in private, cocoon-like cabins called YeloCabs. Select your settings (music, color, air, massage table, or YeloChair), and stretch out for maximum relaxation. All of Yelo's therapists are New York–licensed and undergo advanced training in the Ingham Method of reflexology. You'll enjoy a 30-minute YeloNap ($22 value), plus a 30-minute massage of your choice (foot, hand, and ear reflexology, $80 value; or shoulder, neck, and head massage, $90 value). Instead of wasting time at work discreetly Googling chronic fatigue symptoms, relax in a soothing cocoon of rest.

Millions of people skimp on sleep every night, and at least 40 million Americans suffer from pillowtime disorders. Carving time for shuteye and relaxation will help you become more productive and responsible, according to studies. Call ahead to book your session.

Reviews

Time Out New York, CNNmoney.com, Today.com, GreatReporter.com, and FindPeaceandQuiet.com have all featured YeloSpa:

• …one of Yelo’s greatest selling points is its reflexology treatments. Using the Ingham style, which charts all the parts of your body through pressure points on your feet, ears or hands, massage therapists can help to relieve specific tension or pain. And if you have neither of those problems, that’s fine too—it will still feel great. – Alex Schechter, Time Out New York

Yelping Yelpers give YeloSpa four stars. Citysearchers give it a perfect five:

• …the staff including the owner are down to earth, kind hearted people, and very accomodating [sic]. – CosmicC, Citysearch
• This is the perfect thing to perk you up in the middle of a long work week, or motivate you for a long night of Friday night partying. – jacque_burke, Citysearch

The Future Says "Yelo"

Stepping into Yelo might make you think you've accidentally entered the distant future. If you're not sure, here are some questions you can ask the staff.

• Have our robot slaves become our robot masters yet?
• What is soylent green?
• Is the Statue of Liberty completely underwater, or just up to her wrist and forehead?
• Is the cost of flying-car insurance unreasonable, or does it seem about right?
• Who is president right now? Is it Future-America President Robert Downey The Third?

If they don't know or choose not to answer these questions, be wary. The future will almost certainly bring bloodthirsty antagonists who pose as humans, such as zompires or terminator twos.
