With roads and underground lines to be more overcrowded than ever this summer, a few people may try to use it as an excuse for a day off．But for employees at Interxion, a messy commute（通勤,上下班） during the Olympics will hold no weight．That's because, in a proposal to keep things ticking over this summer, bosses at the London company are asking staff to sleep at work - in space pods（太空舱）．

　　Far from sleeping on the job, engineers at Interxion in east London will be asked to stay behind and sleep in the closed pod to avoid the rush hour, while other companies are set to offer

　　staff the luxury of working at home during the Olympic Games．

　　Coming in a range of colours, the pods made of polycarbonate, sell at anything from ~1,375．The pods are fitted with either foam mattresses（泡沫垫） or a standard single mattress as well as a storage shelf, mirror and power points．These types of pods have been around for years, in hotels, but Interxion is thought to be among the first to have them fixed at the workplace．

　　Podtime, the firm behind the unusual pods, are listing them as the perfect solution to the Olympics' overcrowded traffic．On their official website they state London businesses will be severely affected by the transport problems caused by the Olympics．Our adaptable pods provide the best solution to this by allowing your staff to stay on site as necessary, in comfort and privacy．'
