“Noriko-san” Keeps you Alert and Awake in Trains
When we travel using public transportation, would it not be embarrassing for fail to get off the right stop because we fall asleep? Well it does happen anywhere and while you would want to be spared the embarrassment of being told that this is your stop, Pyocatan has unveiled the Noriko-san sleep mask that features an electronic display that scrolls your destination so other passengers know when you need to get off the train.
So on your next train ride, check this out. Other than being cool, it keeps you occupied from all that boredom of taking train rides here and there.

How does this device keep you awake and alert? I thought it was designed to let you get some sleep.
In any case, I’m sure that other passengers would be kind enough to wake up a sleeping Noriko-San sleep mask user at his stop.
This is an ingenious idea, but it still does not solve the problem of actually sleeping in comfort on the train. This user really looks uncomfortable, with nothing to lean against to support his head, and nothing to muffle the sounds of the people and the train.
This inventor should place his scrolling sign on a Dreamhelmet, the sleep mask pillow that blocks light, sound, and provides a comfy pillow so the user can rest his head against a soft surface Then he might have a chance to actually get some sleep before he reaches his station. Dreamhelmets are sold only on line at http://www.dreamhelmet.com
