@Moata LOL .. beware of keyboard indentations left on the face! I used to have a cuddle buddy pillow at work to prevent that but I told everyone it was for my back because it got sore from my sh***y chair.

Seriously.. the snazzy napper... snazzy is something my mum says.. I fail to see how it works when there are little eye holes to look out of. To be fair I have a couple of times fallen asleep on the train but you can't tell if a person is wearing sunglasses. Maybe once or twice I've fallen asleep at university.. in fact theres photographic evidence of me trying to learn by osmosis while sleeping.

I'd be on board with the snazzy napper if it also had a built in drool catcher, and played soothing tunes to drown out snoring. Maybe also it could have a built in fridge, so you could have midnight snacks without leaving the privacy of the giant blue hanky on your face.

I'm sorry but that name for me becomes "Snazzy Nappy" no matter how much I try not to let it. My brain says it has to rhyme!

You've pretty much nailed all the shortcomings I can think of. The worst one for me is that it advertises quite explicitly that the wearer is sleeping and therefore ripe for being burgled. Given the colour, potential burglars could spot you at several km's distance.

Really, it looks like something a desperate tragic would bring to the Dragon's Den, only to have it shot down in flames as you have so ably demonstrated. A product in search of a market. NOT a winner.

Bahahaha there are so many things about this that are laughable. It's not a particularly well thought out product, is it? Mind you, I guess a lot of products aren't.

@ Thalia - My bf bought me this bean-filled pillow thing. Best invention ever. It is soooo comfortable and incredibly transportable.

@ Leon - Thermal-lined man-bag. OR you could get one of those portable battery operated fridges and put it in a man-bag or turn it into something that looks like a man-bag. And you could get a cape for the 'privacy' part.

Haha maybe all those burqa things that you see some Islamic women wearing are just their version of the Snazzy Napper.

They should make something similar for one's crotch so one could have a decent scratch while out in public (perhaps an optional accessory).

@ Thalia - those are not eye holes my friend but a hole for your nose, hence the 'easy breathing' bit.

I regularly sleep on the train on the way to work. The rocking and huge delays often lull me to sleep. I reckon it's a throw back from my childhood when I used sleep as a defense mechanism to prevent my parents having to pull out the 'blurky bowl'. I would never use a snazzy napper though, it would muffle any noises I make (ladies don't snore) and provide less amusement for the other commuters.

Whatever happened to a book or newspaper for that impromptu nap? Those binders full of "readings" they used to hand out at university were perfect.

I propose that everyone try and bring the term "snazzy" back into semi-sarcastic common usage. It can then sit alongside "choice" (with a thumbs up) and "wicked" (with a surfy dude thumb/ little finger waggle).

Thalia - I think you have mistaken the "oval nose opening for eye holes!

Speaking as one who can fall to sleep anywhere, I don't really need the Snazzy Snoozer (wouldn't that have been a better name?). I once fell to sleep in the middle of a pub, leaning up against a pillar. They set up a band and dance floor around me, and when I woke up, there was the whole wave your hands in the air thing happening. Quite disorienting.

Baaa ha ha, this is brilliant. Can't say I would be keen to whip one out in public though - maybe when napping on the couch in the privacy of my own home. Though realistically, if I am too lazy to close the curtains then I would be too lazy to go find my snazzy napper.

If I saw someone wearing one I would be far too tempted to stick straws up their nose.
