Invention

Sorry I haven't posted any of my projects for this class. I'll start uploading them all now.


Many students may have this bad habit of doing their work at the last minute and or are desperate enough, they do all- nighters just so they can finish the work on time. I for one am no exception. I've had many nights like this where I would work through to morning and then run on empty throughout the day.

My solution? Wear a sleepwalker. This device will allow you to continue your work as you sleep. In other words, like an airplane, you can go on auto pilot as well. With its wearable watch-like design, the sleepwalker achieves this by sending shock waves to the brain; with the brain stimulated, it would allow you to continue working at a level where it's almost as if you were awake but at the same time get that much needed sleep. The watch has a built in touch screen with a set of its own exclusive apps that let you configure how you want it to work. It even includes a feature where it may even send shock waves throughout the body to induce sleepwalking, only thing is that with the brain functioning on a more conscious level, you are able to control what you do as well.

 Extra notes
The watch design idea came from another watch that my dad used on me to help with my seasickness. When I was smaller, he would take me to go fishing with him. However, I would always get seasick. We would go miles out so there was no sense going back to drop me off. So pretty much all I would do the whole day was sleep so I wouldn't have to puke. The watch would work by sending shock waves through me so that I would supposedly feel better. Unfortunately, it did not work. Probably because it was in my head but I thought that it was an interesting way to cure seasickness nonetheless.

The sleepwalking feature in my invention was also inspired by one of dad's devices that he used on me. It was a massager that would send shock waves through you using shock pads to loosen stiff muscles. I was fascinated by it when it made my hand move on its own with every shock. So I was thinking if the shocks were able to manipulate my muscles to move, then maybe one day there will be such an invention where the shocks were strong enough to move the whole body.
