Man learns casino losses not deductible
OXFORD, England, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- A British woman said the device she created to help her battle insomnia as a student is now available for $210 online.
Kate Evans, 25, said she designed the Light Sleeper while suffering from insomnia during her time as a product design student at the University of Central Lancashire and involves a blue light that moves across the bedroom ceiling, The Mirror reported Monday.
"It moves your eyes along a line, relaxing your brain," Evans said. "This helps you drift off. Reading a book can make you more alert but this makes you switch off. It's the first device that offers a simple, drug free and natural way of falling asleep for those who find it hard."
Evans, who now works as a design director for firm Quincom in Oxford, said the company has been receiving large numbers of orders for the product from Japan.
The inventor said her product can currently be purchased from lightsleeper.co.uk and will soon also be available from Boots.com.
