In bright environments, a significant amount of light can still enter
the human eye even through closed eyelids.
This can inhibit napping.
BorgCo has developed an efficient remedy.
Simply have your eyelids tattooed with our new opaque ink. Flesh-
coloured, and using metallic pigments that
won't degrade or fade
over time, it blocks all light from seeping through closed eyelids.
That is all.

sleepless eyes, so no-one would know when you were
sleeping and would be (more) afraid to sneak up on

Although your glutinous snoring might give it away.
A workaround: begin snoring loudly when awake as
well, so your enemies never know. You can blame a
sinus condition. |

The optimal application of this, will of course be temporary tattoos. |

That way you can put on the bloodshot ones in the morning, and as they wear you can swap them for the improved models. |
