Benefits of technology

The patent describes a sleeping area that has various features to make guests feel more comfortable when falling asleep or sleeping while another guest is awake. These features include a cushioned headrest that guests can lean against while watching TV. The headrest can also be adjusted to provide privacy for guests next to the bed. Additionally, the headrest may have noise-cancelling technologies and lights directed towards the opposite sides of the bed to provide privacy for those individuals. Overall, the patent aims to create a relaxing and comfortable sleeping experience for guests.

Problems solved by technology

However, despite these features, if a room is shared with another individual, that hotel room can feel crowded, especially if one guest is trying to sleep while the other guest is watching television, working, or reading.
