There will always be a number of things a person would need to get the proper amount of rest and sleep. Among them include the proper relaxation and climate which would normally require a special kind of pillow, massager or heater. But with the Microwavable Yutapon Heater you get a portable device that requires no batteries to run and portable to bring anywhere.

Named after the Japanese word for hot water bottle (yutanpo), the Microwavable Yutapon Heater seems like a familiar gel pack that many have used at one time or another for cold or warm compress needs. The covers are easily washable while the inside of each Yutapon comes with a special gel pack that retains and releases heat slowly.

They are available for about $30 over at the Japan Trend Shop just in case you want something nifty to have, especially if you live in cold climate places.

Batteries or being plugged in are what normally power alarm clocks in use today. But as far as determining on how long they can be used and the possibility of power failures eliminated their functionality and efficiency.

That alone can be resolved with some alternative energy to power up these clocks and the Water-Powered Digital Alarm Clocks should be a solution for all of that. Especially for people who have a hard time to get up, a reliable alarm clock that will make sure it goes off in time is something that can be of great help.

This water-powered alarm clock features a large LCD screen that shows the day, time and temperature and should be something eco-friendly and ideal to wake you up at the right time when you need to.

For the people who love odd stuff, here is a cuckoo clock that should fit the bill. This is actually a project put up over at the National Museum of Singapore by the Little Thoughts Group which will be up until January, 2011.

This is actually a clock of memories where it recalls the designers time as a child in 1970’s Singapore, where the sounds of growing up are now instilled inside the clocks works. The number “5″ is mirrored in the clock’s face because the designer had some mishaps with the number.

The white wind-up key is held on with a magnet and can open the clock body from the side. Inside the clock, you will find the batteries and some nice shelves.

Though I cannot imagine how anyone can sleep with the glow, there will be a switch somewhere (otherwise take out the batteries!) that can turn it off. From the looks of it, it is a dual-role gadget, one to shed some light and another to get some ambiance in your room.

The square 18 x 18 inches pillow is priced at $189. Not that cost-friendly but when you get to see it, it is quite obvious why the price is jacked up like that.

It is either ingenious or crazy but this water clock seems to be a bit sophisticated unless you know the manner of operation that it runs on. This clock consists only of two tiny discreet balls, anyone glancing at them would never know what they are. Actually even after you have them all set up, it may take you a long while to figure out what time it is exactly. With this around though, you get to choose the china you put these within, giving it your own personalized look.

They are two little magnets, the red one shows hours, whereas the small white ball shows the minutes. Choose a cup and then a small plate, add water to them and drop in the magnets. It then keeps time and there’s not even a need for batteries. It doesn’t entirely explain how it all works, but I’m sure if you order it they’ll give more instructions on that sort of thing. Despite that this is merely consisting of two little magnets, this clock is a bit on the expensive side. The Water Clock will cost you $299.
