... a thread about inventions that need inventing.

I've been looking for a bedside table lamp with a sleep timer. It could have a clock too, but the main thing is to be able to fall asleep while reading a book.

The real motivation: I'm getting sick of having the bride complain about the reading lamp on all night. She elbows me out of deep sleep and keeps at it until I shut off the lamp.

My ribs are taking a beating.
