Wow, check this out from the Daily Mail:

Wouldn't that be nice to catch up some sleep with?
"Researchers believe the same principles could be used to create a machine which can electronically stimulate a deep-sleep power nap. This mimics the restorative benefits of eight hours of rest."

Yes, I believe I saw something similar in the movie
The Green Mile.

Hey! There've been a few nights I would have volunteered to trial this gadget!!!
Women are Angels. And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick. We are flexible like that.
My computer says I need to upgrade my brain to be compatible with its new software.

I'd want sleep docs and DMEs I could trust before I'd try that thing

Actually, I'd like my $@*! DME to try it first... Either it works and a good night sleep makes them half decent to deal with, or it is a Green Mile moment and I never hear from them again!

OCO - I LOVE THAT!!! And I'm quite taken with your nickname and Avatar too!
Xian - You go to Blue Mountain Medical too? Hey, if not, maybe we can talk the two DME's into amalgamating and making one big dreaded EVIL DME and then we can plot to bring them down, and then....
Me, I'm not buying the electronic head hook up. I'll let someone else try it first. And then I want to know if the aliens are still getting their messages through....
Cheers,
B.

Beware! It's all part of a government conspiracy to use alien technology to control our thoughts! Mental note: Must perfect foil brain-wave shield for my cpap mask asap!

Dunno if it would work or not, but I like OCO's pic and other comments got a chuckle or two out of me.
My first thought was hmmm an easy or cheaper way to get a sleep study to figure out if I'm getting deep sleep or not???? If it worked, I'd be one of the first in line to get one!
Keep checking back at your nearest Sharper Image store....
