Airport wishlist : Intelligent sleeping lounges

Idea: In past couple of years, I have spent an incredible amount of time on the airports. Many of us usually do, especially when you are on a long trip and you have a stopover in the middle. Odds are that you are going to be spending a long-boring-lifeless-tiring time at the airport during such a stopover. If you are suffering from depression, this might just push you over the edge! I thought about making this stay bearable. I usually can't get decent sleep in flights due to insufficient leg-room, and hence the very first thought which crossed my mind was how about dark, (somewhat) soundproof, and intelligent sleeping lounges? You swipe in your boarding pass on your bed, and it records information about you and your flight and wakes you up right on time. Also, if there is any announcement for you or your flight, your bed records it for you while it wakes you up depending on the urgency of the announcement.

Reward: Sleep! Your body gets a chance to recover from the jet lag before your reach your final destination.

Bonus: Why pay for pricey memberships for various airline lounges if all your care about is getting a good sleep? You can also get your bed to order a bed-tea for you when you wake up!

I think that's a wonderful idea.
However, you still have to pay for that bed, sitting at some airline lounge. And if everyone starts wanting a bed for themselves for every stopover, wonder where we will find enoughj space in some small airports!

Nevertheless, the idea of an intelligent bed sounds interesting. I hope that bed can also prevent your bags from being stolen while you are asleep! And incase there is an earthquake, it can roll on its four feet to rush you outside, all without disturbing your sleep!
Wishful thinking!
