Thanko's Innovative "Earphones" Provide Internal Ear Heating

Japanese gadget maker Thanko has released a new sleep aid device called Mimipokka, which resembles earphones but actually contains heaters instead of speakers. The device is designed to provide gentle warmth to help users relax and destress, promoting a tranquil sleep. Mimipokka can be adjusted to three levels of warmth and has a timer to automatically power down after 30 minutes. It can be used during the day for naps, travel, or even during work meetings. The device is priced at 4,980 yen ($33) and is available through Thanko's online store.
