How often have you caught sleep on that train to work, while you hung on to a rod? Or wished you could fall asleep after a tired day’s work somewhere on the road without hurting yourself?

Did you know you can fall asleep standing now? It is true. Coming to the aid of those suffering from sleep deprivation woes is Vertical Bed frame which collapses into a brief case. How does it exactly work?

All you need to do is, to attach this Vertical Bed to the subway ventilation grill, and it will support your body weight with ease. The package has noise-cancelling headphones, opaque sunglasses, and a free standing umbrella.

You can shut your eyes with no disturbances at all. You don’t even have to lie down or squeeze yourself into a seat for those precious winks.

Vertical Bed was tested at Broadway and 33rd Street in New York for a 40 minute nap at 6 pm. The individual’s naps were repeated at four hour intervals in a polyphasic sleep schedule. He could smell the cologne of passersby and dreamed of a subversive van. It is made with the help of LMCC’s Swing Space Program.

Sometimes we feel very hungry while we are at work but it’s always not convenient to go to the office pantry and nibble on some food. This is even worse in the case of a sedentary job where one literally plunks himself/herself hours together without eating anything. Emili Manrique designs a table, which is used both as work and dinner table.

The flat surface almost a square shape table has different tiny sections to place a laptop, pen stand, notebooks, files, etc and, on the other side it has an eating space as well. So, you can work and eat on the same table simultaneously. The idea is not bad but it’s not professional to eat at the office work desk. It’s work and not food that should be given the highest priority while in office.

Forget locking your computers with passwords that hackers anyways find out, its better to go the old way and literally lock, stock and barrel your computer. Designer Jacky Nicolas has designed just that, a workstation that can be closed like a cupboard and locked away till you need it again. It will help you keep all your files and documents, apart from your PC, completely safe.

Called as Cyber Box, it works pretty well at home also. Suppose you have a 3 year old curious daughter who always wants to know what Mommy is doing on her computer and sneaks in when you go out to make her chocolate shake, would you rather not lock your PC inside cyber Box rather than having her do a brilliant editing job of the article you were writing! Makes sense, no?
