Japooner 

A Japanese "nooner", or perfect nap taken in perfect time, usually 20 minutes, in almost a perfect setting to make it the whole day, sometimes in a cocoon like setting.

It is well known the Japanese pay $7-$12 dollars for 20 minutes inside a private soundproofed room, or cocoon, and wrap up in a cashmere blanket, breathe the purified air and listen to whale cries. It's meant to prevent Karoshi…death from overwork, but here in America, we'll just have a Starbucks, or slam some espresso to get through an 8 to 12 hour day of work so we don't get fired.
James: "Dude, I can't fall asleep on the job, I'll get fired"

Eric: "Dude, you look whacked, dead on your feet bushed"

James: "Dude, I'm so freakin tired, I think I need a Starbucks, or maybe just a tripple shot or Java Jolt" (4 shots straight up).

Eric: "Dude, just go get a Japooner, you'll feel like a new man......fresh and relaxed"

James: "Dude, your a genius"
