MIT Music Library

Lewis Music Library
14E-109
Overview: extremely quiet, comfortable full-body chairs, fairly empty
Closest Lecture Halls: 54-100, 6-120

If you've ever gone to sleep in Hayden then you should know by now that it's a decent resting place; but the spots by the windows tend to fill up quickly and the chairs aren't super designed for sleeping. A pleasant alternative to Hayden is the MIT Music Library which is just next door. It's a small, not as well-known library where it is so quiet that you could hear a pin drop; which would never happen because it would disrupt the silence. But the main attraction for this spot is the comfortable chairs. The library has this row of high back chairs with just a slight tilt to them. They're like wide bus seats and they are incredibly comfortable. If sleeping in an up-right position is not your cup of tea then have no fear. Fortunately, these chairs are in a slightly curved row so that you can lay across two in a comfortable sleeping position.  My only recommendation is that if you are planning on finding a napping spot with a large group of friends you should probably go somewhere else. This is a relatively small library where people may go to actually get work done. Twenty sleeping bodies taking up all the favorite chairs....... well........ that may be considered "suboptimal" (to quote a friend)
