iPillow Lets You Take a Nap Right at Your Desk
Are you tired of sneaking off to the janitor's closet to get some shut eye? Well, we are too. Fortunately, for all of us beaten down by oppressive bosses and long work weeks, there is someone out there who yearns for sleep enough to actually to do something about the problem. That person, by the way, is Ivonne Dippmann.
A student at the University of Berlin (Germany), Dippman created the a prototype for the i-Sleep, a small pillow that rests right on top of your laptop, inflating and deflating as you close and open it. You see, the pillow is inflated using the warm air exhaust from your computer and is insulated with latex so that it stays toasty. If you think that's cool, you're gonna love this next part.
The i-Sleep actually turns on a special music playlist as soon as the computer is closed. The playlist is completely customizable and elicits a wake-up alarm as soon as the final song finishes (if you so choose).
Ideal for a quick little nap in the middle of your workday, the iPillow could actually be a nice little accent to your cubicle. We will miss that janitor's closet though...Good times... [source: BoingBoing]

Yea, I'd have to agree I like my pillow to be cold much more than I like having it at a warm temperature. I even sleep with a fan at night to try to stay cool winter or summer.
