In the Boing Boing store: Zombie Sleep Masks. One of these is going in my "most comfortable man in the sky" airplane kit -- a carry-all with a tiny two-temperature sleeping bag, hot water bottle, fuzzy sleep socks, freshly pressed cotton pyjamas, and a sleep mask.

Zombie Sleep Mask

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    When/where do you change into your PJs?

    • Bookburn

       Obviously, you wear them under your clothes so that you are ready for lights-0ut.

    • Cory Doctorow

      In the bathroom, before we take off

  • Guest

    So, you can give other people nightmares while you sleep.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    Does it work like Dorian Gray’s portrait by experiencing the insomnia so that you can rest?  It certainly looks red-eyed and peaked.

  • Bookburn

    Cory, you have far more fun than I when flying.

  • ludd

    Yes, yes. I’ve gots to have me a zombie sleep mask. Kinda looks like me after a few mugs of red…or possibly before.

    Scary to say the least. :(  Get quite frightened with these types of masks.

  • mamkablog

    horrible, but funny :D 

  • Alex Copeland

    I can’t wait for the zombie fandom to fade away.

    • teknocholer

      You don’t seem to understand this whole “zombie” concept.

    But I ALREADY look like that!?

  • http://tokyofarm.com Spencer Cross

    Fun, but as someone who uses one regularly I have to say that sadly most of these gimicky masks (like the ones Gama-Go sells) are better at being fun than they are at actually being sleep masks. Until one of these companies goes a step farther than screen printing something funny on a cheap Chinese-made mask, I’m stuck using something that looks like I borrowed it from my grandma.

  • Ken Frey

    very dangerous…..  i would never disguise myself as a zombie before going to sleep!  my wife might wake up in the middle of the night, see a zombie and instinctively shoot me in the head.

  • Culturedropout

    It needs an overlay of a regular sleep mask, so you can sit up, say “What?!?  WHAT?!” when disturbed and pull off the mask, revealing…

  • runes12

    So how tiny is that sleeping bag? Or to put it another way, how much space would it take up in the laptop bag?
