I find myself exhausted most of the time, and everything I've ever read suggests I try napping, but every time I do, I have a problem waking up and I usually feel more listless than I did before. Not to mention I always have the feeling I'm going to get caught napping in the middle of the afternoon. Geez… Isn't napping reserved for babies and really really old people?

Well not PowerNapping! PowerNap audio products would like to introduce you to The PowerNap Machine, a pocket-sized media player that facilitates sleep… Patented Power Nap waveforms have been encoded onto a device that is completely portable and features original and relaxing music composed just for Power Nap which fades away gradually, finally disappearing into the Power Nap sounds that rest and rejuvenate you. Enjoy the melody as you get the equivalent of three hours of deep sleep in just 20 minutes!

During the first five minutes of listening to PowerNap with ear buds, the user’s brain automatically adjusts to its inaudible sound waves. For the next ten minutes the PowerNap recording helps induce REM sleep, finally bringing the user to a refreshed state of heightened wakefulness. Throughout the session, the user hears only the pleasing sounds of a waterfall.

ZZZZZZ…. oh I'm sorry. The NapMachine weighs in at just a few ounces, and comes complete with ear buds, a lanyard, and the battery is actually included . It's small enough to fit in your pocket or purse, and you can take it with you wherever you go, so anytime you have 20 minutes, you can indulge in the instant rest and rejuvenation of a Power Nap, no matter where you are!

Available now at www.powernap.com for under 70 bucks. They also have a CD that claims 6 hours sleep in 40 minutes, wow, think of all the time I’d have left in my day.

foxL V2 Bluetooth Soundbar

Posted: 29 May 2011 05:30 AM PDT

It has been many years since Bluetooth technology was implemented in mobile devices, but how about the application of it? Bluetooth never really broke new ground apart from being paired to a pair of headphones, or used as a wireless mouse, or sending data sans a cable. Well, nothing much has changed here with the foxL V2 Bluetooth Soundbar, but it is still an interesting $199.99 device which proves its bark is worse than its bite.

Why so? For something so diminutive and portable, the Bluetooth A2DP Loudspeaker surely boasts of a superior quality speakerphone, delivering incredible power and dynamic range that targets audiophiles and gadget hounds. Not only that, it has the pedigree to back it up – physicist, NASA engineer, and well known audio design legend, Dr. Godehard Guenther, is the brain behind the Foxl V2 Bluetooth Soundbar.

Powered by an internal battery, it will fit comfortably into a relatively large pocket or backpack, offering blistering audio for up to 8 hours before requiring a recharge. Seems to be the perfect device to bring on your long camping trips – just get a solar-powered charger of sorts to accompany it and you’re set to be marooned on a tropical island for life.

Dreamtrap EASYWAKEme Sleep Stage Alarm Clock

Posted: 29 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT

Sleep is vital to the well being of humans, any doctor can tell you that. Heck, you need not slog your way through medical school (suffering from a lack of sleep in the process, how ironic is that?) to know that having the right amount of sleep is important to make sure you function at peak efficiency. Well, some of us get too much, most of us get too little, but the EASYWAKEme Sleep Stage Alarm Clock from Dreamtrap intends to help you achieve the perfect balance.

Ready to rock and roll this coming July, the innovative sleep monitor will be able to detect the most optimal moments for you to wake up through the simple monitoring of customers’ sleep. This means with enough data collected, you will be awakened stress-free while feeling totally alert, energized and ready to meet the new day, never mind that you are already behind schedule in your work.

Make no mistake about it, this is very different from a regular alarm clock, where the EASYWAKEme functions as a sleep monitoring and waking system which will track body motion and detect sleep phases. The Dreamtrap's proprietary 3D Adaptive Sleep Capture (3D ASC) technology is capable of "reading" body characteristics, tracking sleep duration and efficiency so that it can accurately determine the optimal wake-up moment and reduce your daily wake-up stress.

Accompanied by a wearable sensor that is compatible with most cell phones, this sensor comes in the form of a comfortable band that is worn on the wrist while sleeping. All you need to do is set the required time window to be awakened, and the supporting application will get to work, transforming the cell phone into a sleep phase alarm clock. Relying on a silent vibrating alarm mode, or choosing from your favorite wake-up tunes, EASYWAKEme is well on its way to help you get a healthy night’s sleep.

It can also let you review your personal sleep stats, track sleep duration and evaluate sleep efficiency, as all information on sleep is automatically uploaded to a web site via your cell phone. It is ready to hit the UK for £99, with no word on a Stateside release just yet.

All Terrain Electric Bicycle

Posted: 28 May 2011 05:30 AM PDT

Everyone knows that exercising regularly is one of the key components when it comes to keeping your fitness levels up and at an optimal point. Sometimes though, doing the same thing week in, week out could prove to be way too repetitive for our liking, and a change is always more than welcome. Cycling could be one of the more interesting sports you can get involved in, as you can always go to different places with various scenery in order to experience something apart from the norm.

Unfortunately, bicycles can only get you so far in terms of terrain, and different bikes cater for different types of terrain. The All Terrain Electric Bicycle, as its name suggests, was specially designed by an aerospace engineer, and it is the only electric bicycle which is capable of traversing through deserts and tundras in a jiffy, similar to how it glides across pavement.

There is a 600-watt brushless electric motor that will drive a 14-speed gearing configuration, capable of hitting a top speed of 40 mph on straightaways, while unparalleled torque will help you climb steep grades quickly. With a 51″-wide wheel base and 20″ diameter x 8″ wide tubeless monocoque tires, it is the widest in the industry to offer added stability during tight turns and traction on dirt, sand, or snow.

There is just one drawback – the lithium-ion battery will offer just up to an hour’s worth of assisted pedaling after a three-hour charge, so make sure it is well juiced the night before always. The All Terrain Electric Bicycle won’t come cheap either at $9,700.

Cadence 4-Bit Chronograph Watch

Posted: 28 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT

Do you love collecting timepieces as a hobby? For the more notable names in the industry, this can end up being a pretty expensive hobby, but the Cadence Watch Company has something special for you watch lovers in the form of the new 4-Bit Chronograph Watch. Not only does it look subtle, but it is also classy that notches up a point for geeks who want to impress their dates but without a Tag Heuer or an equivalent.

Apart from being able to tell the time (duh!), the Cadence 4-Bit Chronograph watch will also throw in the functionality of a chronograph and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). You won’t get Arabic or Latin numerals, but rather, “see” the numbers in 4-bit binary. To recap, binary is a system of 1's and 0's which all computers ultimately rely on, and wearing this won’t make you look out of place even in black tie affairs.

As for the other functions and features on the 4-Bit Chronograph Watch, they are as follows :-

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) display – the standard time by which the world regulates clocks, time and computer servers
42mm stainless steel case – striking appearance, perfect for the boardroom or on the go
Luminescent watch hands – against the black face of the watch adds to the sophisticated look
Genuine leather wristband – with subtle saddle stitched two part leather strap and stainless steel buckle
Miyota quartz watch movement – makes for an extremely reliable timekeeper that never requires winding
Water resistant to 5ATM – convenient for everyday wearing
Sapphire coated quartz glass – helps prevent watch face from becoming scratched

The 4-Bit Chronograph Watch will cost you $195 a pop as it goes on sale from July onwards, although those who know that this is something they definitely want from the bottom of their hearts can take advantage of an early bird offer, receiving a 40% pre-order discount before then.
