Next Level 'Netflix & Chill' DIY Socks that Pause Your Netflix Shows When You Fall Asleep

Netflix has thought of the next big thing to answer their own "Are you still watching?" question. Take your "Netflix & chill" game to a whole new level with these customizable socks that detect when you have fallen asleep and automatically pause your show. Never miss out on another episode during your binge watching weekend because you've dozed off. Sound interesting? You can customize and create your socks today!

Netflix just invented socks that can revolutionize the way you watch your shows. The sleep detection in these socks is based on actigraphy technology. There's a meter in each pair that detects when the wearer has stopped moving for a prolonged period of time. The hyper-sensitive accelerometer reacts to even the slightest movement and knows the difference between when you're watching and when you've fallen asleep. Netflix is even offering a version of the socks that monitor heart rate instead of movement. Last week, Netflix tweeted about the new offering to get the buzz started.

So, what's the catch?

As convenient as this invention sounds, the only pitfall is that they are not available for order. If you want the socks you'll have to make them yourself. Don't worry, Netflix has provided intricate step-by-step instructions for you to follow. If you just so happen to be a tech-savvy, knitting enthusiast with a knack for DIY projects then this is perfect for you. Follow the 8 simple(ish) steps to change your Netflix and chill game forever.

For an even richer connection to these "remote socks," you have the option to customize them based on your favorite Netflix shows. There are 16 downloadable show themes to choose from in total. Right now, the top sellers are Bloodline, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, House of Cards, BoJack Horseman and Daredevil themed socks.
