I took one look at the photo and I knew. This story is for me.
Michael B. Farrell writes at the Boston Globe, “Leave it to the tech set to tinker with something so perfect as the nap. Not a group to leave well enough alone, they are coming up with new gadgets — from high-tech masks to wearable pillows to portable pods — to improve on the daytime snooze, bring it from the couch at home to a quiet place in the office, and encourage more people to steal a few winks every afternoon.
“These new gadgets are coming out as the nap itself is enjoying a new appreciation by professionals and amateurs alike. Scientists who study sleep habits say napping makes people more alert and productive …
“There is nap fashion, too. A British design firm sells a wearable, portable Ostrich Pillow — a space-age fashion accessory that lets users ‘take a comfortable power nap in the office, traveling, or wherever you want.’
“One of the newest entrants to the nap marketplace is Cambridge’s Napwell, which recently raised $51,000 on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to begin making high-tech sleeping masks. Inside the mask is a timer that triggers a built-in sunrise light, which gradually brightens to gently rouse someone from sleep so they do not wake up feeling so groggy.
“ ‘If you happen to wake up in dead sleep, you are going to feel really bad,’ said Napwell’s inventor, Justin Lee, a PhD student studying health technology at a joint MIT-Harvard program. ‘Napwell came out of that. It was the simplest thing to build that would solve that problem.’ ”
As a person who can sleep for 20 minutes and feel really refreshed, I really regret the loss our the office nap room to an expanded conference center. I would consider the Ostrich solution below but that my office has a a glass wall. Besides, it looks like it would hurt my neck.

I’m a big believer in naps, even if the people around me seem to think naps are slothful!
We nappers must stick together, form a support group, proselytize! Allons enfants, to arms!
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about Cole Porter while putting together an hour of his wonderful songs to perform at retirement communities. Even when he was living the very high life in Paris (where he and his wife Linda gave huge parties to teach all their friends and acquaintances how to dance the Charleston) and Venice (where they rented entire palazzos for the summer and entertained visitors such as Irving Berlin and Fanny Brice) during the 1920s, Cole had tremendous discipline, devoting six hours a day to writing songs. And his daily routine included one (and in later years two) naps!
How delightful and de-lovely to learn this! (If you need a contact at the retirement community Newbury Court, I can put you in touch with someone who I know would love to see your show there.)
