One of the disadvantages of having long hair is waking up in the middle of the night to find that your head is completely immobilised by your partner who is sleeping on your hair. Rather than waking him/her up with a violent shove, I would like a small lever at the side of the bed which, when pumped, would gently jack up the offenders head an inch or so, just enough to enable one's hair to be extricated.

wouldn't your hair go with it? this is a real problem, I sympathise.

pony tail or braid.....

I don't want to have to put my hair in a braid before I go to bed every night....who do you think I am....Caroline Ingalls?

Maybe. Does she call herself Helium, during the day?

If you were to pump some of that helium into your partner's head then your problem would be solved.

A metal plait implanted into your partners skull and a giant electromagnet on the ceiling should suffice.

Jack up the head board of the bed until your partner's head falls forward.

Grease your hair before sleeping, that way it just slithers right out.

I cut my long hair short when I realised I could have an extra ten minutes in bed every morning.

I prefer short hair anyway. Though I did think maybe you were going to describe something to cure the condition for which thumbwax created the Coyote Ugly Tool.

I was really hoping that this would be some form of morning rising aid. Perhaps in conjunction with an alarm clock.

yama: try Viagra. *Oh* you meant getting out of bed.

Doc, tell us the truth now... you had this problem all the time in the past, and that's why you've opted for the clean-shaven look...
-- RayfordSteele, Dec 08 2002


Actually, it had more to do with leaving too much hair on my pillow. And in the shower. And in the basin.
