Working long hours sometimes is less than ideal – you can get to the point where all you feel like you do is work and sleep. Working long hours, though, is sort of a part of the shared experience of the law. At my firm we have all sorts of amenities on site that make working long hours easier, from an exercise room with showers to team dinners when things heat up to a service that can run errands for attorneys when we don’t have time to take care of things ourselves. But I do really like to sleep in my own bed.
Per this ABA journal article, some of the firms in the magic circle in London are so over the whole “attorneys going home to sleep” trend and accordingly are now offering accommodations – in the form of those funny little cubbyhole beds made famous by hotels in Tokyo, Japan. I have to say I am not a fan, and hope that this trend stays on the other side of the Atlantic. And, if such a thing does become common practice, I hope they find a way to make the sleeping pods look a little bit less like ovens.
