In vast places of the globe, the New Year is normally welcomed with fireworks and noises that create both air and noise pollution. Take these two factors together and you may find yourself having difficulty sleeping. So how do you avoid it?

Deciding to stay at home and closing the windows will not help. You might end up clogging your room with smoke anyway. So why not consider spending the night in a hotel where you will most probably need a break after a tumultuous year anyway?

The price may be something to consider especially during these hard economic times. But if you are looking for the best bonus or gift to give yourself, a one time investment of around $60 to $100 for an overnight stay in hotels will not really be that bad.

Give yourself a break from the pollution this coming New Year. Sleep soundly as you welcome 2009 in style!

For sure, this is something that most people would want to have, especially if you are not the type who gets a lot of shuteye. When we talk about sleep, it normally pertains to laying down on our favorite bed, comfortable and of course finding the position suitable to get that much needed rest leading to sleep.

But for people who want to steal some sleep regardless of position, here is a polyphasic sleep, a practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period, with the help of this Vertical Bed in a suitcase.

Nutty as it may look but if you can steal some minutes deceiving other people then why not? Just make sure you find a suitable place though.

The artist who created this concept will tell you that it’s some artsy-fartsy way to make a statement and get yourself some polyphasic sleep, which is the practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period, but really it’s just an excuse to be lazy whenever and wherever you want. So lazy that you don’t even lay down. In fact, it’s a new epidemic of laziness sweeping the globe. This guy basically walks around with his Vertical Bed in a suitcase, finds himself a nice spot, anchors his bed above subway vents and sleeps for about 40 minutes a pop.
