I’m pretty sleepy now, as it’s about 1am here but I still have to finish this post. Sometime I feel that 24 hours a day is simply insufficient for me. Perhaps, I’m not that efficient in spending my time. If we could sleep for fewer hours a day, perhaps, we could make use of those few hours to do some other more useful tasks, such as updating TechChee. We all know that to stay spiritual the next day and healthy, you’ll have to sleep for at least 8 hours a day. But ,sometime you’ll feel that even you’ve slept for 8 hours or more, then you’ll still get pretty sleepy the next day. Anyway, I’m not going to write a long post here as I’m really sleepy now. But, I guess pretty soon in the future that I’d probably need to sleep for three hours only a day. As the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed a sleep machine, which gives the efficiency of sleeping. Having the sleep machine, you only need to sleep for three hours in order to get a full night’s 8-hour sleep. The machine uses a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to induce the slow brain waves associated with the deepest phases of sleep. Which means you could sleep deeper and sweeter while having it! The sleep machine is to be worn on the head, which only a push of a button to turn it on. I really wanna sleep now. Having no sleep machine, perhaps, I could try some Qi Gong to lead me to more efficient sleep! See you guys tomorrow! Have a good night!

[...] Magnetic simulation seems to be pretty effective to our brain. The recent research about the sleep machine also makes use of magnetic wave to get your brain into slow-brain-wave state, which then gives you the most effective sleep. Here is another magnetic brain stimulator, which it helps get your blues away. This magnetic stimulator will send an electromagnetic pulse 3cm into your brain, which will then stimulate the prefrontal cortex. From that on, all your depression and sadness will be gone! No more blues, even you get dumped by your GF or BF! via [Gizmodo] [...]

[...] Vibrating pillow - By simply judging at its name, I thought it was a pillow meant for giving you quality sleep, by using some kind of magnetic induction. But, it’s not. It’s certainly not a pillow that could help you sleep well. It’s actually the one that will almost kick you out of bed if you snore! Inside the pillow is an audible snore detector. If you make so much noise by snoring, then it’ll shake to try to wake you up or at least to get you move around a bit so you’ll then stop snoring. Having this pillow, you simply can’t deny that you will never snore while sleeping. As it comes with a built-in mic and recorder that lets your partner capture your snoring noise, so he or she can play back the next morning, to testify against you. It’ll be available in September for about $240. Product Page [...]
