I did answer it, but they edited it out. I think it probably deserves another post.

I that's a pretty apt description - there is a lot that goes into this behind the scenes.

The mask has interior lights that slowly become brighter to wake you up naturally. Like a sunrise alarm clock but in a mask.

Thanks, will fix

Great point. To give you a look into the future: Version 1 helps you wake up, Version 2 will help you fall asleep too. Stay tuned.

Can't wait for version 2 :-) What's your opinion on melatonin?

It's generally okay in small amounts but if you plan on taking it longer term you should consult a physician.

That was something we heard repeatedly from our Kickstarter backers.

If anyone is interested, we did an AmA about the benefits of and science behind sleeping and napping a while back: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1vyuz2/iama_scientist_...

Is the problem waking up or a groggy feeling the rest of the day?

Usually waking up I think. I don't usually nap but I took a nap yesterday that probably turned into 3 hours of sleep. When I woke up I wanted to go to bed but once I got up and moving I felt fine.

That's actually really common. In fact I'm making a product / wearable to help with that. I'll do a Show HN soon :).

Love this. Answer the question you want to answer.

Politicians do this all the time and we never get any useful answers out of them as a result. Not sure it is an improvement.

Another maybe-negative use of this strategy, as conveyed to me by a famous professor:

If you give a technical talk and afterwards someone asks a question you don't know how to answer, instead answer a similar question you can answer. Then the audience will think you just misunderstood the question, rather than thinking that you didn't know the answer. This strategy won't work if the questioner is persistent, but usually they aren't.

> This strategy won't work if the questioner is persistent, but usually they aren't.

I think it may only seem to work to the person answering the question. Having sat in on many talks, it's often noticeable when a person answers a different question vs genuinely misunderstanding.

In astronomy, at least, I'd rather admit I didn't know the answer than try to fake it by answering a different question.
