Sleeping In Class: Help!


Written By: Brandon Marchek

There are two things especially important to most college students. Their laptops...and sleep. After late night hang outs, those early morning classes become painful and those long breaks in between even more painful. Some students can find themselves with nothing to do between classes, except sleep. I’ve seen it. They curl up on a bench, or on the floor near their next class...many times without a pillow.

Hafsteinn Juliusson has found a way to solve this problem, while keeping technology on the move...the NapBook, a computer bag that doubles as a pillow. Although professors may not appreciate it if students starting whipping out pillows and falling asleep in class, it would be a step up for those students using their book bags to sleep on during those midday naps. Its a simple thought of attaching a pillow to the top of a computer bag. Its almost a surprise it hasn’t been thought of yet.

Unfortunately for American students, this product is still not available in the US. In fact, this stylish Apple product is only available in remote Apple stores across Iceland. Hopefully they will make their way overseas soon. However, I’m sure you could expect to pay Apple prices for it, so it might be worth it to just bring a pillow to class.
