Oh man – I absolutely need one of these sometimes. It’s called the Nap Alarm and it’s made by a Japanese company called Takanoha. How does it work? Well you place this thing behind your ear and it vibrates when it detects that you’re about to fall asleep. It figures this out by your head movement speed .. although I wonder what it’s looking for? No head movement or sudden head movement?? If I’m sitting at my desk and I fall asleep, I tend to slowly move my head downwards so .. yeah.. I don’t know how this works. Finally, I wouldn’t recommend using this to keep you awake as you drive.
