to find a creative way to provide people with the health and productivity benefits commonly associated with power napping小憩Power napping is as important as normal sleepOnly when you're done with a power nap，are you expected to actually work betterWhen you wake up from a normal nap，it's completely OK to glance around the room，confirm that John Hodgman riding a unicorn独角兽was just an amazing dream，and then roll over to fall back asleepBut the Ostrich Pillow is specifically designed for those shorter periods of rest-the power naps-and the creators say that their invention allows you to sleep anytime，anywhere by creating a“little private space within a public one，to relax and restPerhaps this says a lot about people's attitudes toward napping and the importance of taking a little nap during the busy workdayThe advertisement for the Ostrich Pillow even claims that a 20-minute power nap can increase productivity by 37Amazing!I can only dream of all the things I would get done at the office if I actually worked at 37productivityAnd to think，all I need is a quick nap as soon as I get to my desk!In general，the Ostrich Pillow seems like a great ideaIt's convenientIt's comfortableIt has a place for your handsBut the big question is whether people will actually wear it in publicNevertheless，I'm still hoping to get my hands on、one of these to give it a proper test driveBut，until
