Devices that collect all kinds of fitness and health metrics populated the halls of CES this year, but Sleep Number revealed one of the more intriguing options with its new x12 bed featuring the company’s SleepIQ technology. In addition to providing as comfy a night’s sleep as possible through a series of inflatable cushions and the company’s Sleep Number system, the bed also keeps tabs on your slumber letting you know how restful an evening you had through an accompanying app.

It’s a lazy Sunday. Maybe you slept in super late; that’s kinda what Sundays are for. But what good is all that comatose-time doing you anyway? What if you just cut it out and were productive or something instead?

Travel with us, if you will, back to about a year ago when something called the Ostrich Pillow was making waves across the internet with its lofty promises of a napping revolution.

GoSleep Sleeping Pods are Perfect for Weary Travelers, Just Not Claustrophobic Ones
Posted in: Today's ChiliAirport chairs aren’t made with long-term comfort in mind. That’s probably because they really weren’t made for that purpose. Unfortunately, canceled and delayed flights are becoming a more common occurrence and that usually means a few uncomfortable hours or even a night spent waiting at the airport.
Lucky for you if you end up in a hotel with sleep pods, like the Abu Dhabi Airport.
The oblong GoSleep pods are lined up off to one side so you’ll be in the company of other sleepy, weary travelers. Each one is equipped with a chair that converts into a flat bed and comes with a roller blind that can be pulled down to guarantee some privacy. The pods will eventually offer electronic gadget charging and internet access to occupants as well.
These aren’t the first sleeping compartments that have been installed in transportation hubs, although they definitely are one of the more compact and comfortable looking designs out there.
Use of the GoSleep pods will run you approximately $12 an hour.
