From the Universität der Künste Berlin (University of the Arts) we have the iSleep. It's late, you've been working for hours, the office is deserted and your eyes keep drifting shut, despite three cups of burnt coffee from the kitchenette on the eighth floor. You know your keyboard is no place for nap - until now. The iSleep briefly turns your workstation into a little slice of paradise...
How it works, straight from the Universität's website:
"Heating up
By closing the laptop an air cushion blows itself up, which is connected by a valve with the fan of the computer. The computer is in the "sleep mode" and warm exhaust air is blown into the pillow. The material is coated with Latex at the inside, so the supplied warm air can be kept for a longer time. The heat supply is interrupted by opening the laptop again.
Making music
By closing the computer a playlist is activated by a music program. This playlist can be individually created or is automatically generated by the program. The titles being played correspond to the duration of the desired sleeping time.
Waking up
After the last music title being played, the possibility exists to be waken up. The waking time, the waking tone and the distances of the repeating waking noise are individually adjustable."
