At the risk of being patronising towards someone using English as a foreign language, to my mind the best thing is the text accompanying the cartoon story: "The piteous woman is disturbed. A sweet dreaming is broken. She is feckless in the hospital". For some reason I find that utterly charming.

I have one of these, which is more practical and a real product: <a href="http://www.lark.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lark.com/</a>

Great! Now all I need are some products to allow me to get dressed in the dark; quieten opening draws and wardrobes; silence the noise I make as I hop around the bedroom trying to get my left foot in a sock; stop the floorboards from creaking...

Its not future if it has sockets. Even today this is almost doable with Qi wireless charging and NFC.

36 comments and nobody figures out that you could do this with the phone you already have?

I find the idea fascinating, and would do wonders for my relationship... but I doubt I would be able to get a tension on the thing that would be soft enough to not bother me during wearing it, but strong enough to keep it on all night.

Is it a real problem? My wife sets her alarm clock around 6am and i almost never notice it. I sleep through till 7-8am.

Has anybody ever read "Quelqu'un d'autre" from Tonino Benacquista? This directly stems from an invention in the book.

Husband and wife are never awake at the same time. Doesn't sound like a fun marriage

Yet another concept product that's never going to see the light of day.

It's thoughtful, useful and minimal. Why isn't this popular yet?

Sh*t up, and take my money! Why this is not a real product? "Concept award 2008"?
