Especially on the dirty, noisy, overcrowded trains I’m used to take everyday to commute, in Italy, from home to workplace (50 km far, more or less); it could be useful having such a gadget conceived by the German designer Simone Wittmann: Napper, the commuters’ favourite hood.

Hoping it will not remain only a concept, we appreciate the idea and start praying for finding a seat where to make fully use of it!

The concept, Napper’ is aiming at making sleeping in public transport more comfortable and more secure. It consists of a hood, which‘s padding makes it cushy to lean against window panes. Bluetooth headphones are integrated in the hood, which, together with a software for the mobile phone, provide sound to fall asleep with, but also make sure you‘ll wake up just in time. In addition, the luggage is secured by a Bluetooth-lock, raising alarm as soon as it is moved away from the owner.
