Sleeping is the best part of the day – fact. Who would disagree with this? Bad people would. Bad people say things like “oh I naturally awaken at 6.30am by the light of the golden sun” and mean it.
We are not those people. We need help and sleep is a precious commodity we don’t get nearly enough of. So here are a bunch of things that’ll either improve your sleep, or make your bedroom into a magical oasis of calm.
IKEA NORDMARKE WIRELESS CHARGER
Wireless chargers are a bloody game-changer, aren’t they? Just whack your phone on it and you’re sweet. Saves rummaging around down the side of your bed for a dropped chord, and they look preeetty.
Do you get proper anxiety about whether you turned off your heater/hair straightener/fan in the morning? This device means you can remotely switch stuff off via your smartphone. It’s also got a sensor, so you can set up stuff like aircon, fans… whatever you like to turn on when you enter your room.
NETATMO URBAN WIRELESS WEATHER STATION
Here’s a weird but cool one – this thingy will find the air pollution levels in your home, letting you know when to air it out so the air qual is primo. It also measures stuff like humidity, noise pollution, and the weather right at your doorstep – so you know if you specifically need to pack that umbrella today.
These completely flat headphones are encased in a soft band, so you can listen to your podcast/sleepy tunes without pissing off a partner. Or, you know, cancel out their HEINOUS SNORING.
Aromatherapy diffusers can be ugly, but if you search around there are plenty out there that’ll blend into your room decor seamlessly, so you can enjoy your mood-enhancing ylang ylang blend without accosting your eyes.
ROHM PORTABLE WHITE NOISE MACHINE
White noise can really help as a sleep aid, and before you think of the scary, torture kind – this is soothing and most white noise machines will come with different types. This one for example has surf noises, bright white noise and deep white noise.
