About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Allina Sleep Center’s lights were off and everyone had gone home, a regular noticed something odd. His dog began barking uncontrollably whenever he drove past the building, as if sensing something strange. One night, a delivery driver passing by saw the dog frantically barking through the window. Thinking it was just an overexcited pooch, he waved cheerfully and called out, ‘Hey, little guy, don’t worry—bedtime soon!’ The dog stopped mid-bark, cocked its head, then started howling along with him. The driver looked around awkwardly before driving away, wondering if maybe he should visit the sleep center for some rest himself.

2. In the early morning hours, when the Allina Sleep Center’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every night, an old clock on the wall seemed to move ever so slightly—almost as if someone or something inside were waking up. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing but empty beds and sleeping patients. But then, from behind one curtain, came a soft snore—a rhythmic, almost comforting sound. The next day, the driver brought in a new alarm clock for the staff. And since then, no one has reported any unusual movements on that old clock.

3. In the early morning hours, when the Allina Sleep Center’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath, ‘I’ll never understand why they close so early.’ Little did he know that his words would soon become reality. Just then, an old alarm clock fell off a shelf and started chiming loudly. The delivery driver jumped back, startled, and accidentally dropped a box of sleeping masks. As he bent down to pick them up, he heard a soft snore coming from behind the reception desk. Turning around, he saw a sleep technician peacefully snoozing in their chair—oblivious to the chaos.

4. In the early morning hours, when the Allina Sleep Center’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in his truck bed—a small wooden box labeled ‘REM Dreams.’ Curious, he opened it to find an assortment of colorful pillowcases emblazoned with strange symbols. As he inspected closer, one symbol looked familiar—like a smiling sun and moon together. Turning around, he saw a sleepy-looking neighbor walking their dog outside. The neighbor yawned and said, 'Oh, that must be from Allina's new line of dream-inducing pillows.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another one of those urban legends. He drove off, thinking maybe some good night’s rest would help him see straight again.
