Just when you think spa service add-ons have figured out how to drain your last dollar along with your stress levels, here comes Kohler Waters Spa in Burr Ridge, Illinois. The spa offers an unusual option with its massages. For $150, you can have a 75-minute massage — or you can opt for a 60-minute treatment followed by a 15-minute nap. Personally, I'd prefer the extra 15 minutes of rubbin', but some perpetually tired patrons might feel otherwise. If you had the option, would you pay to nap?

When I get massaged I always drift off right before it's over, but then I have to snap out of it, get up, and leave. I would love to have a 15 minute nap.
1I'd just get a sixty minute massage and go home and sleep for fifteen minutes.
2No, my own bed is exceptionally comfortable, I'll save my napping for home.
I'd want the extra 15 minutes of massage!
3I'd rather just head home and sleep.
4Why would I pay for nap time? No no no... keep rubbing!
5No, more rubbing! Hahaha.
6I guess it's no different from the 15 minutes of relaxation & meditation at the end of some yoga classes, but I would prefer to keep the massage going.
7I think they should allow naps, but charge for them??????? ridiculous
8I kind of understand the idea... if some people are so relaxed from the massage that they fall asleep then it would be a way to let them gain from the relaxation.
However, I would much prefer the extra 15 min. massage!
9I Dunno...I like my massages!
10I'd take the extra 15 minutes of rubbing and then head home for a nap.
11i hate having to get up at the end of a massage. i would love to be able to lay there for 15 minutes.
i still think it seems like a waste of money.
12If I fall asleep, then I fall asleep, but I am not sure that I would want to pay for it
13I work with 4 LMP's and they say that about 30% of people fall asleep anyways. Why pay extra for a nap? That is just silly.
14I usually fall asleep anyway. They can massage me while I do
15Keep rubbing...i'll take a nap at home!
16I can nap for free once it's over. That's just silly.
1715 minutes is not a nap! That's like a long blink. I'd rather get the massage.
18OMG, this is to funny! I've always said I would gladly slip her some money to let me nap after the massage!! haha..I'm such a dork, but I hate having to get up right away and not just lie there and relax for awhile longer!
19YEA!!!! This is my boyfriends illustration! I can't believe it's on here!!!
20No way, KatieDearest! What a small world.
21i would prefer the extra 15 minutes but it so nice to juts lay there after a massage and really relax and enjoy the moment
22That s crazy; why not buy the 75 minute massage then go back to your hotel room (or where ever your staying) and take a free 45 minute there.
23the few spas i frequent have dim comfy quiet rooms, that's where I knock out for some zzZZZzzz after my treatments. Charge me to sleep, ha! so silly.
24actually, I just got a massage this past weekend, and afterwards I kind of wanted to just lie there for a little while - but I couldn't. however, it takes me 15 minutes just to fall asleep, so I wouldn't pay - I just wish they would let you lie there for like 10 minutes...
25A: anyone who PAYS to nap is an idiot.
26B: they're even more if they're paying to nap after a massage, when they could just doze off DURING the massage. this is ridiculous!
anyone who wakes me from a 15 minute nap would have to tranquilize me because i am a monster with just 15 minutes naps.
