| I have often toyed with the idea of creating a sleep | | | | type enclosure. Think about it. If you own a 1 bedroom |
| chamber that we could market to people who were | | | | flat or a studio, you could incorporate these wall sleep |
| not willing to, or could not afford to soundproof their | | | | chambers and actually have people be able to sleep |
| entire bedroom. I had 2 ideas in mind, one was a | | | | over without really disturbing the primary occupant. |
| canopy that was suspended on pulleys that could be | | | | What a concept. The sleep chamber would be |
| lowered down overtop a person sleeping in perhaps a | | | | soundproofed and as stated prior, would have either a |
| twin bed. It sounds a little morbid, kind of like sleeping in | | | | passive or active ventilation system. The sleep |
| a coffin, but in a way I did it for over 20 years of my | | | | chamber would solve the problems attributed to |
| Navy life. We slept in very close quarters with the | | | | sleeping with headphones on or ear plugs, which as |
| beds (racks as they called them) about 7' long and | | | | most of you know do NOT work. The sleep chamber |
| about 3' to 3 1/2' wide. | | | | has been used in Japan for decades in Econo hotels |
| The other idea I had was to build a wall mounted sleep | | | | and with crowded areas like New York and Los |
| chamber where you would climb into it like a bunk bed, | | | | Angeles where space is always at a premium, the |
| and then close the chamber door. This wall chamber | | | | sleep chamber might be the answer to a lot of |
