"Make no mistake, there's a plethora of devices out there aimed squarely at rudely disrupting your nap, but a technique that utilizes a gaudy head wrap and magnetic pulses could make the process of conking out a whole lot easier. Apparently, scientists can use relatively standard medical equipment in order to \"stimulate the brain with harmless magnetic pulses,\" which essentially penetrate the nerves that control a type of deep sleep called \"slow-wave activity.\" By forcing the brain to conjure these waves, it helps trigger deep sleep in even the \"most chronic insomniac,\" and researchers are hoping that these methods could be used to create a machine that lets weary individuals get one fabulous power nap. Until then, however, may we suggest wading through every last Intel roadmap presentation you can find without ever losing focus, as this little trick seems to work quite well in corporate settings.[Via Spluch]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
