At the rate that the weather changes these days, there is no denying that the need for a reliable blanket will be a critical need. And to add some new features to the common blankets would certainly be neat, something that the Intelligent Blanket brings as designed by Helena Loermans.

Ideal for places with extreme cold climates, these blankets are hand-woven and avoid heat accumulation by directing moisture outwards while also providing the necessary warmth during cold weather. Babies are bound to be the great beneficiaries from these lush blankets, perhaps leading to better sleeping to which babies are known to be delicate for.

Going over some blogs, I found this curious post over at Tech Crunch. Presumably it seems to be something that was intended to be a joke, considering that the Tech Crunch HQ claims that sleep is not among the things that are in mind when working over there.

However, this brings us to think, sleep is indeed essential and although some may deny it, a few minutes of nap time does help in the productivity area, something shared by one of the commenters over there.

Everything started from a simple email with NapQuest on the subject. The whole thing seems to be an excerpt from special rooms designed for some people who work over 8 hours a day to take some nap or so.

While some may find it hilarious, on the health aspect, the request does seem reasonable. Either that or go home early. Then again, that would mean more pressure at work or allowing the company operations to suffer due to lack of work done for the day.

Bed sheets and sets would normally be a great way to aid in one’s sleeping endeavours but the Never Sleep Alone Bed Set may not necessarily do that. In fact, this bed set seems to be unadvisable for the kids who want to sleep soundly at night, no thanks to its creepy design which may lead them to sleeping somewhere else.

Anyway, the Never Sleep Alone Bed set offers an uncanny and weird design, featuring printed Zombie arms which may bring trauma to anyone afraid of the undead. On the other hand, for the people who live in the extremes and odd scenarios, a night light may eventually help negate such negative vibes.

The Never Sleep Alone Bed Set retails for about $138.55 over at Etsy. Weird but certain to be a hit with the ones who want to sleep on the wild side with some scary twists.

For the workers who may lack sleep and want to catch some Zzz’s at work, here is another pillow that should help you out when you want to take short naps during breaks. While we have seen a lot of different pillows made for people to use anywhere, the Dictionary Desk Pillows should be fit for people tied up in offices or even in schools.

The pillow should be perfect for the avid workaholic, something you can get for around $80. It features a paper case to make it look smarter than a standard pillow, perfect for those sleepy spells once employees are allowed to do so during breaks.

For people who turn to reading to get them drowsy and eventually fall into deep slumber, here is a lamp you can consider. The Cinna Lamp was designed by Francois Rybarczyk, something neat to have by your bedside when you don’t want the glaring lights that may ruin your intent to sleep easier.

The lamp comes in an opaque-shaped shell that reveals a subtle glow. The lighting is adjustable and the lamp is made using a combination of ceramics and cork. Simple and modern, this is one lamp that should aid people who want to read themselves to sleep.

Here is another potential device that should aid you in your sleep problems. With the aid of an iPhone, all you need is the Lark Wristband and then you can hook it up to serve as an alarm clock, a sleep coach and a sleep monitor.

All these things were made possible through a micromotion sleep pattern sensor and makes use of a data tracking method called actigraphy to help measure people’s sleep patterns to reportedly about 85 to 95 percent accuracy.

All one has to do is download the Lark Up app from the iTunes store and the band’s hardware will automatically connect with your phone and update your sleeping habits onto your phone every morning

Here are some more neat pillow creations for you, something that may be made more than just hugging. These are the Light Up Moonlight Pillows, something that should come in handy for people afraid of the dark or the ones wanting a handy glow to guide them just in case they are the ones who habitually get up at night.

The pillow renders an illuminating and colourful spectrum, somewhat like a lunar rainbow which should all the more contribute to your sleeping spells. The colors change in a fluid motion, similar to that of how it happens inside lava lamps. This furry pillow is like a hybrid between a teddybear and nightlight. It is powered by a battery pack and turns on when tapped.

Here is another potential addition for your bedroom and sleeping needs. More pillows are what picky sleepers would normally turn to and one that differentiates them from one another would be that of design.

And for the ones who put premium on detail, the Log Pillow should be something cool to consider. This is a log shaped pillow that boasts of custom-contouring micro-bead filling and is capped with a polyester/ spandex cover.

The Log Pillow can be easily cleaned with a damp pillow and stands to be a great one to have as well in case you are the outdoor loving type.

The Log Pillow costs about $25 over at Firebox in case you want one.

In what has to be a device that will certainly get you out of bed and on your feet, the Megaphone Alarm Clock should be a blaring solution to alert anyone who may still be groggy and sleeping soundly. The alarm clock which is available from the Museum of Modern Art Store, may throw you off track with its look. But mind you, looks can be deceiving.

The clock features 10 decibel beeping alarms and comes with a backlight too. Other features include a host of buttons at the back. The Megaphone Alarm Clock retails for about $45, an insane solution if all other alarm clocks still fail.
