By now you may have heard that Lindsay Lohan is spending some time in jail and it isn’t pretty. Lohan is not getting any special privileges and in fact doesn’t have a pillow to sleep on. This and banned use of a mobile phone are some of the things the diva has been trying to live with as she carries out nine days in jail.

These information were bared by her mother Dina for Lindsay Lohan who is expected to be released any time soon. She will head straight to an inpatient rehab facility, most likely in Los Angeles. Lohan is serving jail time for violating her probation by missing seven alcohol education classes last December.

I-Sleep for Better Office Naps

From prior posts, we have been narrating various news articles on how companies have recognized the value of sleep in employees. While some companies allow nap times, there may be an issue as far as allowing workers to make the most out of their sleeping privileges. Among them include sleeping at the very first second that the time for sleep comes.

Just like some sleep aids, here is something that can help an employee sleep comfortably. The I-Sleep is actually just like a normal pillow that you can place on your work desk where you can slide your head and get the right sleeping position for your head.

Another problem the i-sleep doesn’t address: many bosses don’t understand the concept that a 10-minute nap is not laziness, but in fact aid productivity–though that doesn’t really matter since this is just an idea for a school project and not a real product.

Never Blame the Baby!

The responsibilities involved in having a child and of course making sure that they grow up to be as healthy as possible include that of sacrifice. Unfortunately, this includes having to initially give up some sleep whenever a child wakes up in the middle of the night. Some may not be too inclined, calling it stressful but they should also consider that kids normally have to be monitored and attended to during their infant years.

It is not too much to ask. The joy of having a child is indeed exciting for all. But when it comes to the part of responsibility, for sure sleep will be at the tops of the list of deprived privileges that people once used to have.
