i- sleep

An analog laptop extension
A project by Ivonne Dippmann

It is almost midnight, the eyes get heavier and our "to do" list waits with several prettily marked points of work, which have to be done until 8:00 o'clock in the morning. Yes, sleep is luxury and our working place "NO SLEEP" area.

Because of this sad fact our upper neck hurts for days after slaming on a wooden table or against the keyboard...even after consuming 3 bottles Club Mate!

This painfull experience will now stop! Now there is i -sleep, a comfortable soft pillow which can be attached on the top of each leptop and functiones like a rescue west in an airplane - with the difference...it really saves us. If we tend to fall asleep, we just close our laptop, a pillow gets filled with warm air, music is being played and after 10 minutes the alarm clock rings. Bonne nuit!

Heating up
By closing the laptop an air cushion blows itself up, which is connected via usb with your computer. The computer is in the "sleep mode" and air is blown into the pillow. The material is coated with Latex at the inside, so the supplied air can be kept inside for a longer time. By opening the laptop again, the air leaves the cushion through an integrated valve.

Making music
By closing the computer a playlist can be activated by a music program. This playlist can be individually created. The titles being played correspond to the duration of the desired sleeping time. Recommended sleeping time is 10 min. More than this you will fall into the deep sleep mode which makes you even more tired by waking up:)

Waking up
After the last music title being played or 10 min of silence passed, the possibility exists to be waken up. The waking time, the waking tone are individually adjustable.
