==The Reasons== | |||
These are the main reasons why sleeping in the space is banned are (in no particular order): | |||
* It's not what the space is for | |||
* It's anti-social | |||
With regards to the 'what the space is for' it is a simple matter of using shared resources in a way that (the majority) of the members don't want them used. | |||
With regards to anti-social behaviour it has a couple of sources: firstly people repeatedly sleeping in the space often end up making areas of the space smelly, whilst there are many smelly activities in the space these normally happen outside or in other well ventilated spaces, sleeping often happens in the least well ventilated areas. Secondly it's been found that people are generally unhappy to wake up sleepers (either intentionally or not) and have been greeted with hostility when they do so. Regardless of how pleasant the sleeper may feel they both of these things make the space less pleasant to other users. | |||
