/////THE MOMENT OF SURPRISE/////

I guess if you are sitting in your room the entire day everyday nothing really happens, meaning you don't really have anything to write about - and that's the phase I am in right now. I've been writing and writing for the research paper until last week and the rest of the time until now I have been catching up on sleep.

I've probably developed this from my "Japaneseness" but I don't really sleep all that often or never so much. I would say about 3-4 hours a day is enough to get by. Of course I catch up moment to moment (e.g. a 10 second powernap on the train, dosing off during the 10 min break from lectures etc)...Correct me if I am wrong, but is it true that you are not allowed to sleep on subways here in Stockholm!?

In Japan, where an hour one way commuting is very normal, people do a lot of things on the train - most of them sleep though. As everyday commuter, you really get in a habit of waking up at a certain stop, but me as a visitor there I can't really wake up.

So Apple came up with an iNap that apparently wakes you up when it's 100m from the destination.

Good solution, I think. - way better than this:


But what happens at Times Square or Union Square, where everyone goes off?!
Oh boy every morning there will be an annoying harmony of snoozes.
