A new device can help people achieve relaxation and a refreshing nano-nap.


There are already other devices on the market that can help the brainwaves go into alpha states and bring a person to deep meditative places. Now there may be a way to squeeze 8 hours’ sleep into 2 hours.

A device worn on the head could in squeeze the benefit of eight hours’ sleep into just two or three hours.
Scientists in the US used a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to induce slow waves – indicative of the deepest phase of sleep and essential for learning ability and mood, in a group of sleeping volunteers.
A TMS device sends harmless magnetic signals through the scalp and skull and into the brain, where it activates electrical impulses.
The researchers found that positioning the TMS machine the right way triggered slow waves that travelled throughout the brain.

That should leave a lot more hours in the day to get other things done. But will just mean more emails, faxes, pages, and cellphone messages, or the leisure to enjoy a bit of freedom in this hectic world?
