Bedphones allow sleeping with ease
03/08/2011
Listening to music in bed is not uncommon, but many people find their headphones fall out as they are about to drop off to sleep.
As a result, Bedphones have been developed, which wrap around the ear in such a way that it makes it harder for them to become dislodged.
The designers have also created the product so it is as thin as possible and so that little pressure is placed on the ear.
However, the headphones do not have noise cancelling features, as this would have made the design much bigger.
The Pew Research Centre recently discovered just how common it is for people to sleep with electronic devices close by, as 35 per cent of people in the US were found to own a smartphone.
Of this figure, two-thirds admitted to sleeping with the handset right next to their bed in case they miss something during the night.
