Fancy Napping device or Suffocating Pillow?

Deemed as the "OSTRICH" by it's creators, this nifty looking device provides comfortable naps in usual uncomfortable places. According the website, "OSTRICH offers a micro environment in which to take a warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow nor a cushion, nor a bed, nor a garment, but a bit of each at the same time. Its soothing cave-like interior shelters and isolates our head and hands (mind, senses and body) for a few minutes, without needing to leave our desk."



This looks really awesome! I would love to have one in class. Finally we can beat those annoying desks that are uncomfortable to just sit in. Also, just imagine how awesome you would look in the back of the class passed out in this. Would the teacher interrupt your sleep or appraise your effort? To me, it would just be really funny to see someone actually using this at work or at school.



At the same time, I don't really understand how you would be able to breathe. Maybe these are just poor photos provided by the inventors but I feel like I wouldn't be able to breathe. Essentially, you're putting a cushioned bag over your head. It just doesn't seem like it would turn out very well.

Nonetheless it would be interesting to see!
