Spice Up Your Morning With These Smart Gadgets
Waking up on the wrong side of the bed has the potential to put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day. One way to help aleviate some of these "symptoms" is to brighten your morning with some smart gadgets. These fun pieces of tech have the potential to lift your spirits by making your life easier and more enjoyable. Let's take a look at a few.
Smart light bulbs
Waking up with a loud alarm usually ends up with your hand slamming the snooze button, but think about a gradually increasing light instead. This is a more natural way of waking up from your deep sleep. Smart bulbs can be programmed to turn on at specific times and you can choose how long it takes for the lights to reach full brightness. You can create a schedule for the bulbs overhead or have a bedside lamp that would turn on slowly to let you know when you need to wake up. Even further, you can program routines for sunrise and sunset to make sure that your lights are always how you want them.
A popular seller for this product is the Philips Wake-Up Light which can be found on amazon for just $200.
Smart thermostat
Your days of peeling off your cozy blankets and waking up to a chilly room are over. You can set your smart thermostat to slowly increase the temperature before getting out of bed every morning to ease you into the day from your slumber. If you prefer a sharper change of temperature to wake up, you can adjust those settings to your comfort as well.
A great option for the smart thermostat would be an Ecobee4 which is priced at $249.
Smart coffee maker
A smart coffee maker is basically your average coffee maker but connected to a smart plug. Your coffee maker will always remain on so that it will always be available to prepare your beverage. So you can operate your coffee machine on a schedule or have it compatible with your google home or Alexa. This way a simple announcement like “It's coffee time Alexa!” is all you need to have your coffee ready. Imagine waking up and your coffee is already ready for you? We can dream can't we? Oh wait, it's now reality!
Temperature Control Smart Mug
A smart mug is always fun because no matter what kind of hot drink you prefer in the morning you can set your mug a certain temperature and it will hold it for an hour. This way you can go brush your teeth, iron a shirt and your warm beverage will stay ready for your consumption at all times. This removes the need to warm your drink often if you live in a colder climate.
The Ember Temperature Control Smart Metallic Mug 2 is one of the best self heating mugs on the market at $149.95 on Amazon.
Smart Mirror
A smart mirror displays all the little things like your daily forecast, local news, time amongst other things while you get ready in the morning. Your smart mirror can show you entertaining videos of your choice, traffic of your route to work as well as incoming messages. This allows you to organize and multitask your schedules at the start of your day.
With a large range of smart mirrors available, the VAHA fitness mirror is one of the most unique innovations with an interactive screen with expert led fitness classes. The small mirrors start at $1,295.
All these tasks are used daily, while it doesn't take a lot of effort to do them without the use of modern technology, it's definitely a great investment. Keep in mind that these fun innovations make life more manageable and always sets your day off to a good start.
