Our translator station serving St. Francis and Cheyenne County at 96.3 FM is off the air due to an air conditioning breakdown at its leased transmitter site, making it too hot for HPPR's equipment to operate. We are currently working to fix the situation. We apologize for the loss of service and ask listeners to tune to KZNK at 90.1 FM or listen on line through the player above or HPPR's mobile app.

Swiss artists' hotel room offers sleepless nights to ponder the world's crises

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. Do you have trouble falling asleep, thinking about problems big and small? Well, that's the entire point of a new zero-star hotel room in Switzerland. It's just a platform with a double bed, no walls or ceiling, at a roadside gas station. The art installation is meant to keep you tossing and turning and inspire you to take action. Butler service, drinks, breakfast and a terrible night's sleep could be yours for a little over $300. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
