Lofty Pillow, Heady Claims

In our ongoing chronicles of sleep technology vs. waking technology, the alarm clocks seemed to be getting a lot more advanced than the sleep tech.
But here’s one (small) point for the sleepyheads — a Japanese firm called Lofty is launching a computerized, sensor-laden pillow that will tell you when you’ve earned a nap. The sensors apparently count your head movements overnight, and compare it to the baseline average. If you’ve had another rough night, the LCD monitor will tell you.
Or, you could save $390 and listen to your body.
At least this device marks an improvement over Lofty’s 2004 effort, which was a doll that would harangue owners to go to sleep or wake up. Progress!
