This is my kind of software: pzizz..."the ultimate power napping solution."

pzizz combines Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), enchanting music, sound effects and a binaural* beat to achieve a wonderfully relaxed state in the listener, similar to that experienced during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep.

The company claims that its approach is far superior to other napping technologies:

You can choose the length of your "nap" (according to program limits) to suit the time you have available to you or simply according to the time that you find works best for you. This concept is unique as all other programs will require that you find the time to fit in with their idea of the perfect length nap. pzizz then creates a nap to fit the time that you have selected, choosing from a multitude of different voice and sound files that it has stored in the program.

Are these great times in which we live, or what? Imagine having a system that will create and optimize a nap for you, instead of your having to, well, lose sleep worrying about whether you're doing right or not.

As exciting as this is, I think I'll wait until they start offering customized dreams to go along with the nap.

*This raises the question of what happens if you don't nap on your back or stomach. After all, "binaural" means listening with both ears. This seems to me to be a serious issue that merits further research.

Let me know what you find out.

The day a company succeeds in truly offering customized dreams is the day to hock everything for their IPO.

As one who has no trouble sleeping (in fact, I can't take naps because they just turn into very long nights), I find this product completely bizarre. But Eric, I'll bet you've got something there with the customized dreams...surely, this is possible and I'll be next in line, behind Mr. Freen, ready to hock everything when you let that cat out of the bag! ;-)

Well, I do have some ideas, but they involve watching 12 hours of specific DVDs before going to sleep. Oh, and some ever-so-minor brain surgery.
