Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

You don’t usually think of alarm clocks as sleep aides. I mean, my alarm clock’s job is to blast those annoying beeps at my ears in the morning so I’ll actually get up (sometimes before hitting the snooze alarm five times). But the NightCover is a little bit different.

It’s not just about waking you up in the morning but about helping you fall into a relaxing sleep at night. “One of the few designer sleep aides that doesn’t come in a pill form, Zyken’s NightCove alarm clock lulls high-octane executives to sleep with scientifically-calibrated lights and sounds designed to improve sleep quality.”

Who knew light could help you sleep? I usually bury my head in the pillow to block out all light entirely. Shows what I know!

“The NightCove uses a patented sleep system with 20 pre-loaded programs combining sound and light of varying color, wavelength and intensity that’s tailored to improve sleep cycles and regulate the body’s melatonin levels. Simply set the alarm, press the sleep button and the gizmo strategically rotates through purple, red, blue and other hues to help the body fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply and awake rested.”
