Can I sleep in the library?

Answer

The library is a space for study, research and learning, and should not be used for sleeping in. As such, we actively discourage people from sleeping in the library - we recommend that you take appropriate rest breaks and return to your accommodation if you are unable to stay awake.

We understand that it can be easy to doze off when studying. If staff notice that you have fallen asleep at your desk, they will wake you after a period of time to ensure you are conscious and well.

If you arrive at the library specifically to lay down and sleep, you will be woken and advised to go home.

Repeated incidents of sleeping in the library may result in referrals to other University departments to ensure you have access to appropriate wellbeing support.
