Twenty-five years of unhealthily heavy computer use have seen to my being exceptionally short-sighted, so much so that without glasses or lenses, I would struggle to make out the digits on a nearby clock. My solution to this has been to keep my cellphone within reach, but the idea of this sheet/clock has me hoping that one day I may no longer need to. Think about it, a clock incorporated into a mattress that would let you feel the time.

How does it work? The sheet has a special pocket that holds the clock, which is largely constructed of silicone. The heavy lifting comes via slats of EPS “(electroactive polymer, used for artificial muscles).” When zapped with electricity the relevant slats expand to show the time.
