It happens to the best of us: You stayed up late getting down on a Tuesday night (read: re-watching True Detective and eating Seamless until 5am), and come Wednesday, you can barely keep your eyes open. Desk napping is far too risky, so what’s a comatose professional-about-town to do? Why, pull up Google Naps, of course.

People, muster up all your creative juices and imagine the most ridiculous bed you can think of. Is it a waterbed? Obviously. Can it play music from your iPhone? Totally. Does it vibrate to the beat of that music? Yes, it can. Can it sync 50 LED lights to the beating of your heart? Yup.

Right now the only way you can truly sleep among the stars is to suit up in a spacesuit and have somebody push you out into the black and that ain’t cool. The next best thing is to lie in a sleeping bag in the darkened countryside and stare up, but a bear might eat you. Well, The Cosmos Bed is a remarkably safe way to sleep among the stars.
This bed designed by Natalia Rumyantsev will make you feel like you are drifting in space while you are safe in your bed. It’s almost like a mini holodeck for tired star-loving humans.
The idea here is that it is an alternative to pitching a tent and sleeping under the stars. It features twinkling starlight along with the sounds and scents of the forest.

In today’s world we have lots of sleep aides like Tempur-Pedic beds and, uh, Ambien. But if you’re still using the bore-yourself-to-sleep method, some bad news is coming down the pike: Counting sheep doesn’t work.
