       The Ostrich Pillow was created by a European designer，who wanted 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 sleep．Only when you're done with a power nap，are you expected to actually work better．

When 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 asleep．

But 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 rest．”

Perhaps this says a lot about people's attitudes toward napping and the importance of taking a little nap during the busy workday．The advertisement for the Ostrich Pillow even claims that a 20-minute power nap can increase productivity by 37％．

Amazing!I can only dream of all the things I would get done at the office if I actually worked at 37％productivity．And 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 idea．It's convenient．It's comfortable．It has a place for your hands．But the big question is whether people will actually wear it in public．

Nevertheless，I'm still hoping to get my hands on、one of these to give it a proper test drive．But，until then，if you need me，I'll be sleeping buried on my desk !
