About 45 minutes of soft music, however, such as jazz, folk or orchestral music at about 60 to 80 beats per minute, is the most relaxing way to fall asleep, according to a group of Taiwanese researchers. Some people like to fall asleep with the television on, while others will read until they're slumping over, barely hanging onto their book. Added to the tips of the index and thumb are small, rectangular patches that conduct electricity from your skin to the iPod's click wheel, helping you scroll through your playlists while keeping your hands warm, even in the coldest of winters. These gloves do the normal work of keeping your hands warm, but the additional feature that makes them stand out, and useful for the iPod, is PlayPoint technology.

Several companies have developed special iPod gloves. Most gloves are made out of material that blocks electricity, making it hard to select music without constantly removing them. That's because the technology behind the click wheel is touch-sensitive, meaning it relies on electricity from the tips of your fingers to tell the system which song to play next. On the one hand, big headphones can act like nice, warm earmuffs that also happen to act as speakers on the other hand, wearing gloves to keep your hands warm makes it very difficult to maneuver the iPod's click wheel. When it's cold outside but you still have to walk to work or to class, bringing along an iPod and listening to music can be a double-edged sword.
