Matsushita Designed Sleep Room [Slashdot] "The 30-minute session in the sleep room — about the size of a small hotel room and programmed with a control panel in the wall — starts with the bed upright like a recliner. A huge TV showing verdant scenes of a river ambling through a forest. Gentle guitar and piano music plays against a backdrop of trickling water and birdsong.and after a few minutes relaxing like that, the sleep machine takes over: the lights slowly dim, the TV screen goes blank, the music dies down — but the stream still babbles — and the bed lowers into sleeping position.The mattress vibrates and bulges strategically under your upper and lower back, stretching your spine then thee lights turn off completely, the massage peters out and air is released from the mattress, allowing your body to settle gently into place and into the first dream of the night" from yahoo. 6:59:28 PM      Google It!.
