It’s been a lot darker in the mornings and I am not a fan. To clarify, I don’t even get out of bed at an insane hour like 6 or 7 (more like 9 or 10), so I can’t imagine what it’s like for the rest of you. I know it’s only a preview of the months to come where the days get shorter and it’s like trying to wake up from a coma just to get out bed in the morning. And while I love going to sleep in a dark room, I am not looking forward to these mandatory pitch black mornings.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to add a little light to my life or else I’m going to stay in bed all day. While that could be very enjoyable, I’d probably get fired and then be forced to move out of my apartment due to lack of funds. The Milk LED Changing Colors Night Light (Convenient Gadgets & Gifts, $12.95) uses an LED to give off a soft glow, which is just enough light to make it easier to wake up and not too much to distract my REM cycle. If you decide in the middle of the night that you’re too cool for a night light, you can turn it off by tilting it or placing it on its side. Not only does this save energy, but it’s a heck of a lot easier than trying to find a small switch in the middle of the night. Speaking of small switches, there’s one on the bottom of the light that allows you to set it to change colors or stay on solid white.
So maybe you think you’re too old to be sleeping with a night light – that’s totally fine. The design of this light is such that it can be placed pretty much anywhere in your apartment and not look like a children’s lamp. Then no one has to know that you’re afraid to sleep on the dark because the boogeyman might get you.
