Geeky Bed: Sleeping Pod With LED Lights And Speakers
Known as the "Transport," and described as the perceptual pod bed, this beauty has sprung to popularity this week following a NYT article and the realization for millions of geeks like myself that by not sleeping in a large illuminated pod I've really been missing out.

Teens Not Sleeping Enough Because of Their Gadgets
This is definitely one of those studies that doesn't surprise me. An Australian study has shown that over 50 percent of third- and fourth-year high-school students aren't getting enough sleep because they are too busy playing games, watching TV, listening to their iPod, or chatting on the phone.
It was the males who were found glued to their video games, TVs, or media players, while the females couldn't get enough gab time in on their telephones.
