DIY Sleeping Mask Puts You In Control of Your Dreams

There's a Lucid Dream Machine sleeping mask on Instructables that pulses LEDs in your eyelids four hours after you fall asleep, waking you up just enough to notice your dreams and control their outcomes. The mask requires a fair bit of soldering and programming experience, so it isn't for DIY luddites like me. Which is good, because my sleep is too precious and my dreams are too weird to want one of these anyway. [Instructables via Make]

Pillow Ring: Mobile Naps For People With Tiny, Tiny Heads

I am all about taking naps whenever the opportunity presents itself. The problem is that getting comfortable is often a major obstacle when there is no bed in sight. The Pilo Pilo ring from the Downstairs Studio offers a solution by attaching a tiny cushion to the end of a ring so that you can prop your head up on a soft surface. Unfortunately, those of us with freakish cartoon heads would probably find this method to be ineffective. What we need is something with more surface area—like a pillow book or pillow glove.

Bedup Saves Space by Storing Your Bed in the Ceiling

Useful for Austin Powers wannabes living in tiny apartments is the BedUp: a bed that retracts into the ceiling. Saving you up to 30 square feet, the bed slides up when you're not using it and can even have lighting integrated into its underside— so much more 21st Century than the flip-up closet Murphy beds. More info after the gallery of example installations. More »

As soon as somebody called this NightCove lamp a "sleeping solution," we knew we were in for some majorly expensive hooey. The idea is that a combination of different-colored light and some noises can put you to sleep and wake you up. More »

Skyrest Travel Pillow

We love travelling a lot except for, you know, the part where you actually travel—airports and airplanes are two of the most uncomfortable places to be ever. Trying to fall asleep on a plane is an experience that has always sucked and alas, will always suck unless you're rich enough to be flying in a class where you can recline your seat all the way down or use a bed.

SELK'BAG Sleeping Bag

The SELK'BAG is a sleeping bag you wear. The entire bag, covered in straps and belts for maximum snugness, fits like a glove and makes you look like a plush Transformer. Confusingly, there's no mention of the any way to remove the bottom portion for midnight walks to the latrine. More »
