Here's a new look for the insomniac on the go: the Exubo jacket -- designed specifically for people who want to sleep on public transportation.

From designer Matthew Gale: During research I learned that people can sleep when their bodies are held in a rigid state as opposed to only a soft and yielding state - similar to most beds. I applied this concept to the Excubo jacket - a jacket that transforms into a firm and protective shell around the user.

Unfortunately, these days I live in a city that's fairly car-centric, but for those who rely on buses, subways and trains for transportation -- or for anyone who spends a lot of time in airports -- this seems perfect. Finally, a way to get some decent sleep in the departure lounge!
