When I can't sleep or it's just too eerily quiet in the bedroom, I usually fall asleep much better while listening to podcasts or music on my earbud headphones, but waking up to strangulation by cords is not a pleasant experience. If you too enjoy listening to music, the radio or the sounds of nature before engaging in peaceful slumber, now you can do it quietly without disturbing others and without the dangers of headphones with the cool new PillowSonic - Digital Stereo Pillow Speaker ($25).

This compact padded stereo speaker slides under your pillow and easily connects to your MP3 player, Radio, CD, TV, alarm clock, computer or anything with a mini headphone jack. It features two digital speakers at approximately 12 inches apart to offer more uniform sound throughout your pillow and is made from a space age foam material for total flexibility. It's the perfect solution for couples, students, patients, the elderly and anyone who wants to relax, meditate, manage stress and sleep better. It can also be connected to an alarm clock for a discreet wake up service that doesn't wake the whole house. (via Michael Kiely)
