About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Sleep Wake Center doors were locked tight, a curious little girl would appear in the parking lot. She’d peer into the windows with wide eyes, pointing and whispering ‘Mommy, look!’ until her father gently took her hand and led her away. One evening, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel. Suddenly, he felt a tiny hand on his shoulder. Startled awake, he saw the little girl smiling sweetly and saying, 'Wake up, daddy! Time for bed!' The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out she was just another patient’s kid playing hide-and-seek.
2. At dawn, when the Sleep Wake Center staff had just arrived, a small dog would appear from nowhere, bounding into the lobby and nudging everyone’s feet with its cold nose. One morning, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in, rubbing his eyes. The little dog trotted up to him, nudged his hand gently, then led him to the coffee machine. As the driver looked down, he saw a note on the counter: ‘Coffee for you—now wake up!’
3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Sleep Wake Center. The air was heavy with an odd scent—a mix of coffee and something… unfamiliar. Curious, he peered through the window, only to see a shadowy figure moving between beds. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Inside, the shadowy figure turned towards him, revealing itself as just another sleepwalking patient in a hospital gown. With a sheepish smile, the man said, ‘Morning, I’m here for the coffee.’ Everyone burst into laughter—except maybe the poor soul still trying to catch some zzz’s.
4. In the dead of night, as the Sleep Wake Center’s neon sign flickered ominously, an exhausted voice called out from the parking lot: ‘Is anyone awake in there?’ Inside, a sleepy nurse peered through the window and asked, 'Who's calling at this hour?' A gruff voice replied, 'Just checking if you’re still open for business!' Turns out it was just a delivery driver who mistook the place for a 24-hour diner. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.
