Can't you suspend a bed wired to one of these to the ceiling? At night before you go to sleep climb the stairs and get into the potential energy elevated bed. Then in the morning, after the bed descends, you have enough reading light energy stored for the next night.

How do you lift the suspended bed back up again?
Unhook the four corners from the system, raise the "hooks" and have 3 or 4 associates help you lift the bed on to the hooks?
It seems unlikely 3 or more people would like to lift a heavy bed each day. It could work in principle, but I do not think it is comfortable enough.
