Waking up on the wrong side of the bed can put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day. One way to help alleviate some of these “symptoms” is to brighten your morning with 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 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 the lights take 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 ensure 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 temperature chance to wake up, you can adjust those settings to your comfort.

A great option for the smart thermostat would be an Ecobee4, which is priced at $249.

Smart coffee maker

A smart coffee maker is your average coffee maker but connected to a smart plug. Your coffee maker will always remain 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 having d your coffee prepared for you. We can dream, can’t we? Oh wait, it’s now a reality!

Temperature Control Smart Mug

A smart mug is always fun because no matter what hot drink you prefer in the morning, you can set it to a certain temperature and hold it for an hour. This way, you can brush your teeth and iron a shirt, and your warm beverage will always be ready for consumption. 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. It costs $149.95 on Amazon.

Smart Mirror

A smart mirror displays all the little things, like your daily forecast, local news, and time, while you get ready in the morning. It can also show you entertaining videos of your choice, traffic on your route to work, and incoming messages. This allows you to organize and multitask your schedules at the start of your day.

With many smart mirrors available, the VAHA fitness mirror is one of the most unique innovations, with an interactive screen and expert-led fitness classes. The small mirrors start at $1,295.

All these tasks are used daily, and while it doesn’t take much effort to perform them without modern technology, it’s a great investment. These fun innovations make life more manageable and set your day well.
