![]() The company’s catalog consists of two sleep tech aids: the Loftie Clock and Loftie Lamp. ![]() Loftie is a wellness company hoping to help you achieve a better tech-life balance - with the use of their design-forward, smart home products, of course. Like most buzzy new products, I first discovered the Loftie Clock through my Instagram ads. So I went old school and got myself an alarm clock. While I’m not locking my phone away in the bathroom before bed, I no longer want to be beholden to it day and night. You’ve probably heard blue light suppresses the body’s release of melatonin, a hormone that makes us drowsy and helps us get to sleep. Keeping your phone out of your bedroom can have many positive effects, like improving energy levels, intimacy and productivity. I knew I’d have to make a few lifestyle changes - no late-night drinking (on weeknights, anyway), no endless scrolling in bed and no more using my phone as an alarm clock. So in an effort to get my day started before 9 AM, I tried kicking myself out of bed by 7.Ī non-morning person does not become a morning person overnight. Waking up, turning over and immediately opening up my laptop for work began to feel like I was missing an integral part of my mornings: a moment to myself. While the lack of commute and ease at which I could log onto work meant more room to relax and catch a few extra Zs in the morning, lines began to blur. The WFH era ushered in a few unhealthy habits for me. I envy those morning people who start their days at 6 AM, hit the gym and get to leisurely make breakfast before settling into the workday. This year, like millions of delusional others, I attempted a few habit changes. Every morning when my phone alarm rings I find myself hitting snooze until it becomes a fireable offense. I’m typically asleep by midnight, getting around 7-9 hours of sleep, which I think should be sufficient enough for my body to feel well-rested and ready to take on a new day. I’m not up late working, or even tossing and turning. ![]() I wouldn’t, however, consider myself a night owl, either. Because if there are two things I prioritize most in life, they’re sleep and my morning coffee. In high school, I was awarded most likely to roll into class 10 minutes late with a Starbucks coffee in hand by my classmates. ![]() Nota bene: If you buy through the links in this article, we may earn a small share of the profits. ![]()
