The Hypnos Hoodie is about to turn many a dream of napping on the go into a reality.
Although the product, which launched on Kickstarter on Nov. 13, comes in basic sizes and colors, don’t let the hoodie’s outward simplicity fool you. This oversized hood has superpowers. It contains a removable, inflatable ergonomic pillow that is designed to inflate and deflate easily with a valve, making the next snooze as easy as flip, breathe, zzzz.
