Men in their sleep mode

Sleep laboratory for home

Regina looked at me over the bread basket away in bewilderment: "What shall I do?" She said with a menacing undertone.
I appeased, when I looked up from my iPhone:
"Now reg 'but you do not like to - there will be only for a few days - it has to be calibrated."
She snorted with the same tone of voice:
"Kali ... what?"
"Until it has responded to me - this will be after two to three days of the case."
"And as long as _I_ should seriously stay in the guest room so _Du_ sharing the bed with your phone? You're probably not quite bake! "

I sighed. When would she ever understand that my iPhone is not normal "cell phone" was? Rather, it could perform a variety of very useful programs, such as the current state of the wash cycle to inform. In this particular case it was me, but to a much more important software ( Sleep Cycle ), which cleverly exploited the latest results of the sleep laboratory research: the iPhone's built-in sensors were also the lightest changes recorded during sleep, when it is flat on his side, the mattress laid (of course a little further away from the body, of course). A sophisticated algorithm, then the registered owner of the deep sleep stages. Now if you, say, want to be awakened at 7:30 clock, to set this as a wake-up time in the program. The software in turn calculates the ideal time to wake up half an hour before getting up. Sun awoke to much fresher than if you were called from the middle of deep sleep.
The hook on the matter was now that the program had to spend some undisturbed nights with the owners - those mentioned calibration - to explore his own personal sleep patterns. And disturbed a second person in the bed - it distorts the whole result. So I had sent the innocent plea to Regina to spend time just two nights without me. That could surely not be that hard!

"Rigaleinchen," I whispered in my perceptive tone, "You do not even prefer a lively, intelligent tiger by your side as a jaded grumpy bears?" I smiled and tried your boxing chummy over the table on the arm, which failed, because the honey was in the way. When someone would invent in this world at last free sticky honey?
The most emotional of all the friends I still sparkled with her sparkling eyes:
"Tiger? I hear so probably not the right place! You want to seriously argue that such a thing ... "- I screwed up painfully in the face of the equation of my iPhone with a" thing "-" ... that such a thing makes another man out of you "?

Thanks to my public speaking training, I knew I had to give in a little now to achieve my goal:
"Well, darling," the word "darling", I used only in emergencies. I had it by Jürgen von der Lippe and as Regina came from Cologne, I thought it appropriate, to awaken memories of their hometown. "Of course not equal to another person. But I would be fitter for the day. For example, I consider so long to paint the floor again ... "
"Pah! You are thinking not long since beaten that you are thinking about 3 years! "
I ignored the petty remark about time courses: "... and if I feel really fit, then what is a no brainer for me!"
She hesitated a moment with her answer, what was for me as a connoisseur of social psychological processes is a clear sign that I was on the winning road. Then she said:
"Really? And the old computer boxes from the basement - you would then bring all away "?
Women! Handed to them an inch ... I figured my chances by. Maybe it was a refurbished hall so happy that the matter would be with the cardboard slip back into oblivion ...
"Deal," I beamed at her. "Two nights in the guest room - and you can get for it and the basement floor!"
Then she smiled at me, which made me suspicious.
"Honey ..." I was alarmed! "Must it be the guest room then? It's good enough but if you can sleep alone in bed, right? "
Was that a trick question? Probably not. Nevertheless, I replied innocently, "Yeah, sure is, it, as I said, just about this brand-new findings in sleep research ..."
"Fine. Then please give me your phone time! "All the alarm bells went with me and I clutched it tightly. She saw my knuckles were white and teased: "Oh, you silly girl, I want your Telefönchen do nothing. I just want to call someone. "
Reluctantly, I moved out there. She dialed a number, I would not let her out of sight.
"Yes? Hi, it's Regi-Pegi! Yes, Mark, tell me, you've got yourself just separated from your wife, but are still in the apartment, right? Yes ..., just a lot of space and all alone ... I could possibly two nights ... No, no, no problems ... It's about some Kalibri or so ... I explain to you, when I'm with you ... "
She got no farther. I had the most insidious of all the iPhone snatched girlfriend and shouted into the phone: "Hi Mark, is a bit tipsy Regileinchen ... I'll call you later even at times ..."
I sat down, breathing heavily and said, "Okay, you win - no guest rooms."
She paused and went, into a smile in itself, a honey bun.
I also knew nothing and that I was much more sophisticated than they are. I would make the calibration easy day. Gerstl colleague Inger had a cot that is standing in his office that he would lend me safe time ... And she could the next two years no longer come with floor and basement. Well, who had really won?
