Un-tighten sheets in hotel bed corners

They can cause crams on the legs as they leave very little space for moving toes and feet freely. Every hotel has a customer questionnaire in the room, so if we all mention this idea and recommend it to the management, it might happen. It's simple but maybe the reason most hotels, including 5-star ones, have bed sheet corners tightened so strong is because people don't ever mention it. While most people won't think it is a major thing or don't notice it, I am sure they will if suddenly hotels loosened the bed corners.

Wasting your time versus wasting your Life

Lying on my death bed, I probably won't be thinking I wasted a lot of time in my life. I will probably be thinking I wasted a lot of my life. If for every time I was advised not to waste time, I could have been told 'don't waste your life' instead, perhaps I wouldn't be making these thoughts right now. Of course, I am not dead yet, I got to finish typing those words first :)

Office chair turned bed for busy people

I made this thought for people like me who work at the office until very late. A very anatomic chair that unfolds and turns into a bed so that you can sleep a few hours when working late in the office. A lot of people that work in finance or in other industries pull all nighters at the office but there is no bed to rest for even an hour!

Some of my colleagues asked me how I came up with it. They thought I got the idea from traveling on business class where the seats turn into beds. Actually that wasn't the case.

I commute to work by train every day. The other day an old man came in, he seemed to have difficulty walking so I stood up to give him my seat but he refused. He then started to de-assemble his walking stick and turned it into a small tripod on top of which there was a round plastic that served as the seat of a chair! He sat till his stop came and then folded it back and went out.

I thought that was awesome. If they can turn walking sticks into chairs for old people, why not make office chairs for the army of young professionals who rarely go back home to sleep due to overwork?
