Karōshi (過労死?), which can be translated literally as "death from overwork" in Japanese, is occupational sudden death. The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress and a starvation diet.
I'm very tempted to order one. Hubby gets migraines, and this might do him the world of good when he needs complete darkness to help ease the pain. (He doesn't like the little sleep masks, finds them annoying as he can feel the strap)
Or... would be very handy to use if I ever feel the need to sleep on top of a road sign!

13 Feb 161#74
This is the most sensible response I have read here. I haven't suffered from migraines in quite a few years, I used to get them a few times a month, now not even one a year. THIS LOOKS PERFECT FOR MIGRAINES! If you slip inside one of those cool gel packs, actually 2 (one at the source point of the migraine and one on the back of the neck), this could be very useful. I say buy one for your husband. I would also say but it through amazon rather than an unknown site. If one suffers from migraines they are willing to do anything to make it stop. For £7, I think it is worth a try if it works for him or not.
llove595
13 Feb 161#76
just thought I would clarify what I meant by gel pack...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Koolpak-Sleeve-Cover-Reusable-30cm/dp/B00INCVS3K/ref=pd_sim_121_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=31lUGkdW5NL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=13R4RQT5Q8PGJ2SCG4AT I think it might help your husband, but for less than a £10 investment, he is going to love that you understand and tried. Some people just don't understand how debilitating a migraine can be.

PsychoSonny to eset12345
13 Feb 1611#101
what are you blabbering on about?
some people don't get much sleep so they take a nap instead of going insane. it's been scientifically proven sleep deprivation reduces performance and cognitive abilities.
put it this way i sometimes go to bed at 1am and wake up at 6am. after 2-3 days of that i'm knackered so i take a power nap during the day around 6-7pm to make up for the lack of sleep. i wake up feeling refreshed rather than powering on through feeling like crap.
also it's common in most other cultures and countries. i take it you have never been to spain? or morocco?
just because you don't nap doesn't mean nobody else does or should. think before making ignorant remarks in future.

As someone who appreciates the value of a nap every now and then, I've ordered one. For the money, if it helps me grab a quick half an hour here and there (and thus be a more productive and all round nicer person to be around), then it will be an absolute bargain.

Did a very quick google, and a review of the original Ostrich Pillow on a US site, sold it to me:

Ordered from AliExpress, got no issues with the site (and this is from someone who loves Amazon), done quite a few orders there.
Great idea for the cool packs inside! Got a few of those knocking about somewhere already.

one review from Amazon (not me!)
"I purchased this item as a Xmas present for my 19 year old son . He could not wait to get this item and was very pleased when given to him. He uses the item regularly and is happy however one downside is that the opening does need to be a little larger. And when lying with your head on the desk and your hands in the holes provided (as shown in advertising pics) it is very hard to breathe and your head gets very hot. Although saying all this my son is still happy."

Thanks OP. I have never used Ali Express and I found a lower priced Ostrich Pillow on Amazon, shipped from China, so it will probably take a few weeks. But I am not in a hurry, so ordered from Amazon instead. For those who are interested, the amazon price is £7.08 (I went for the £7.09 seller as they have a better review) -->Ostrich Pillow from Amazon
thanks op, ordered it for the girlfriend as we have a long haul flight coming up soon and she can wear this so I won't have to look at her and it might stop her snoring.

Really well designed product? iPhone? That's an oxymoron.
pduffield
18 Feb 16#179
As the IT manager I manage the 30+ mobile phones at my site. We initially had BlackBerry's but changed after RIM started falling apart and gave everyone their own choice. Initially it was about 50/50 Android/iPhone but now 4 years down the line we have all users on iPhone as they proved the more reliable product. It's purely users choice what handset they have but obviously they prefer Apple handsets as being 'really well designed' they are the more reliable device.
As a typical iPhone user I still admire the Android devices just like most iPhone users do but do find it hard to see why Android users must always put down the iPhone, I can only assume it's jealousy.

As an IT Administrator in a company with over 120 employees, many of whom have business phones, we have tried most phone types. We used to use blackberries then Nokia Lumias (which are simply awful. easy to break, many many faults including charging and signal issues, difficult to set up and change ringtones, very limited selection of apps, etc) then switched to Android (mix of Samsung & HTC phones, Samsung & cheap Chinese tablets, and cheap Chinese Android TV sticks) and haven't looked back. They can simply do more than the alternatives, are extremely reliable (the Samsung and HTC are and the cheap ones have been pretty good) and provide extremely good value for money. iPhones can't do what we need to (including NFC, custom apps, bluetooth, etc). Plus we tend not to install software that turns your computer into a dribbling mess (A.K.A. iTunes. Other notable mentions are Norton and McAfee) :smiley:
I agree that there are many who prefer iPhones (but in general they have more basic needs, don't mind the lack of customisation and limited functionality and the extremely limited choice of screen sizes).
I also believe that quite a few people who have tried and not liked Android have tried it on a lower-spec device that doesn't provide a great experience. Plus there is a bit of a learning curve as there is with any advanced OS - comparatively, iOS is quite basic (with no app-drawer, very few settings, no menu, no back button, no widgets, etc). For the less gadget-focused, iOS might be a better fit but I think the limitations are just too much.
As for the 'jealousy' thing, it's definitely not that. I think its because we have phones that provide more functionality, customisation and freedom at a cheaper price - with the trade-offs being a learning curve, possibility of viruses/malware if you enable installing from unknown sources and fashion. Also, I will say that Apple after-care is extremely good.

Did a very quick google, and a review of the original Ostrich Pillow on a US site, sold it to me:
"Migraine Headache Sufferer this idea IS THE BOMB!!!"
Ordered from AliExpress, got no issues with the site (and this is from someone who loves Amazon), done quite a few orders there.
Great idea for the cool packs inside! Got a few of those knocking about somewhere already.
I remember an Indian businessman coming to these shores in the late 60s and he said he simply loved it here ...because you can sell people here **** as long as it was wrapped up in paper bag they'll buy it.
He was right then, and still is!!!
:laughing: just looked at the website, it's probably the same guy LOL ! :smile:
"I purchased this item as a Xmas present for my 19 year old son . He could not wait to get this item and was very pleased when given to him. He uses the item regularly and is happy however one downside is that the opening does need to be a little larger. And when lying with your head on the desk and your hands in the holes provided (as shown in advertising pics) it is very hard to breathe and your head gets very hot. Although saying all this my son is still happy."
Perfect for those long flights on crappy economy seats :smiley:
And I love it when they start with... Just for the record, I don't have an iPhone... You know their whole house is kitted out with Apple products :laughing:
EDIT: If you disagree with this, bluetooth me your reasons why! What's that? Your iPhone is too basic? Never mind, I win :wink:
Man, this would be good to pack when going out on the lash for the morning after the mental night before.

As a typical iPhone user I still admire the Android devices just like most iPhone users do but do find it hard to see why Android users must always put down the iPhone, I can only assume it's jealousy.
I agree that there are many who prefer iPhones (but in general they have more basic needs, don't mind the lack of customisation and limited functionality and the extremely limited choice of screen sizes).
I also believe that quite a few people who have tried and not liked Android have tried it on a lower-spec device that doesn't provide a great experience. Plus there is a bit of a learning curve as there is with any advanced OS - comparatively, iOS is quite basic (with no app-drawer, very few settings, no menu, no back button, no widgets, etc). For the less gadget-focused, iOS might be a better fit but I think the limitations are just too much.
As for the 'jealousy' thing, it's definitely not that. I think its because we have phones that provide more functionality, customisation and freedom at a cheaper price - with the trade-offs being a learning curve, possibility of viruses/malware if you enable installing from unknown sources and fashion. Also, I will say that Apple after-care is extremely good.
