| MY "NIGHTYSHADE" IDEA: I can't stop inventing! It's almost a curse!!! When I get a new idea I try to stay focused on my other urgent tasks but I'm invariably compelled to eventually explore the new stuff sufficiently before I can move on to the "real work" of follow-through and execution. Check out my newest idea (so damn ripe for infomercials) and tell me what you think. http://corpania.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/NightyShade.34681151.jpg ________________________________________ Dan Abrams' idea for "NightyShade" aka "SleeperShade", "LightBlocker" or "NightAwning" (domains registered) Problem: When trying to sleep you should block out all light to enable proper circadian rhythms. Sunlight and your sleep partner's reading/TV habits can disrupt you. But the old solution of eyeshades/blindfolds/sleep-masks can feel uncomfortable. Even worse, when you roll around in your sleep, they can slip and choke you. SOLUTION: Easy-to-install, vented "shade" for your upper torso and head blocking out all light enabling you to fall asleep while your partner is up. • Inexpensively constructed with a wire frame & fabric (with breakaway buttons) draped over to block out all light. • Alternatively, it could be rigidly constructed with a hinged "flip-top". • The vent could be equiped with a fan for healthy air flow. This would have the added benefit of "white noise" (masking sounds). • The vent could be connected to a tube that affixes to your air conditioner or heater for efficient cooling/heating to your personal taste (rather than cooling the entire room). Two people rarely have the exact same preferences for optimal temperature when sleeping. ________________________________________ NOTE: I wish I had $1mil in disposable cash so I could seriously explore the viability of at least my top 20 inventions/venture/ideas (e.g. doing "prior art searches", filing "patent applications", making prototypes, developing sales/marketing materials for potential business partners etc.). Ok, back to working on my film "The Knew-it-all". The short film version is in post and I gotta write the feature script well before I start schmoozing at film festivals. Hope you're well. Good Karma to you. Warm Regards, Dan Abrams |
