A Japanese company called Lofty Co. has created a pillow that will track the quality of your sleep. This pillow not only tells you if you had a rough night (determined by the amount of head movement on the pillow) but the pillow also will compare that data to your previous nights of rest, which it charts for you on an LCD display embedded on the pillow (that's the most comfortable part). The pillow will also tell you if you should power nap during the day.
In 2004 the Japanese Lofty Co. pillow company teamed up with Japanese toy giant Tomy Co. and created a doll called Yumiel. Yumiel is a doll that also monitors your sleep, it has 6 sensors and can say over 1,200 sentences. Yumiel will pester their owners to go to sleep if they are up late, tell them to wake up if they sleep late, and even tell you weather or not you those thoughts of murdering everyone in your workplace are just because you "got up on the wrong side of the bed" that morning.
Perhaps next, Japan will create a towel that senses the user's dryness and fluffs itself accordingly. Of course, the towel will have it's own artificial intelligence, so it can play video games with you and get high all the time.
