Sleep is one of those things that every single person on the planet needs daily. Unfortunately, some are not lucky enough to get the recommended seven to nine hours a night for one reason or another. This could be due to difficulties turning off their brains caused by things making them more alert than usual, such as bright lighting or using their phone before bed — or are addled with a myriad of sleep-related issues and disorders that are affecting their ability to fall and stay asleep. Marketed as a table lamp that mimics the range of light produced by the sun, you can set it up based on your geographical location so that it adjusts light levels throughout the day. The lamp’s lighting switches from a daytime sky-blue to a warm amber after the sun sets, which I’ve personally found to foster a more gradual decline of wakefulness by the time it’s time to go to bed. I’m less tempted to scroll on my mobile phone and I found that it made me fall asleep a lot quicker if my smartwatch sleep metrics are to be believed. Another lamp that I found that helped me sleep better at night was something I didn’t even purchase for myself. I first got the Rest lamp from a company called Hatch — the latest iteration is currently available at $60 on Amazon — when I gave birth to my eldest son back in 2016. It’s a night light and sound machine in that’s designed to facilitate better and continuous sleep for babies. It also has a nifty time-to-rise feature to help older kids know when it’s time to get out of bed when the light and sound change. If you’ve ever tried to sleep in an environment that has dry air, unless you’re used to it, you’d find that it’s quite hard to get comfortable and stay that way throughout the night. Apart from the fact that low humidity can sometimes cause dry and itchy skin, it can also dry out your nasal and throat passages, making it a bit more difficult to breathe and more prone to snoring and nosebleeds.
