A sleeping pod for home.
Imagine as you go to sleep it is perfect temperature for you no need for open windows or extra blankets. You just turn the dial and it adjusts it or maybe it even have a curve so that you love for it start cold but wake up warm.
It is pitch black, no need to try block out any light.
It completely soundproof even if you live middle of the city. But it also have speakers just in case you like something in background as you sleep.
I think the future of next-gen housing will be something like this. I've been hearing stories on HackerNews about young developers earning good salaries in SF, unable to find a place to rent, so instead opt to live in their cars and go shower at the gym. They do this happily, and it doesn't bother them.
As someone who used to frequently sleep under his desk as work in my early 20s, I can see portable sleep pods being a really good substitute for the inner city housing problem.
American culture around work honestly seems completely fucking nuts.
This was in the UK. I lived on one side of the city right next to a motoroway where it was too loud to sleep and I had no internet. My workplace was on the other of the city. On a rainy night, I didn't always fancy cycling that distance just to get home for 3 hours of subpar sleep. Sleeping a half-decent 6-7 hours under my desk and then showering the next morning was much easier.
