Short story: Sleep pods compress the time you need to sleep, people go crazy
I read a short story way back when I was in fifth grade that I cannot remember the name of. In the story there are pods resembling telephone booths you can enter to experience a full nights sleep in a short span of time. After a while however, the people using the pods go crazy and die. I can't remember much else about it, however.

Hi, welcome to SF&F! This is an interesting question, but we don't know how old you are, so we don't know when you were in 5th grade. You should check out the suggestions for a good story-identification question and see if there are any other details you can add to your question.
