Loftie Is Alarmingly a Gentler Way To Wake Up
This minimalist alarm clock of soothing soundscapes makes mornings a calm affair and the bedroom a ?screen-free zone" at night.
As someone who has tested and reviewed a multitude of alarm clocks, I’ve got strong opinions of which features to look for when choosing a bedside companion tasked to wake you up each morning. Ideally an alarm clock awakens our conscious part of our minds gently, mirroring the circadian rhythm attuned to sunrise rather than relying upon the scare factor of an annoying blare. Starting each day with a hormonal adrenaline surge is not only stressful, but unhealthy. Which brings us to the concept behind Loftie, one of a new generation of bedside clocks designed to shed the “alarm” in alarm clocks, and help wean sleepers from their phones.
Loftie’s minimalist and featureless front is the first sign this alarm clock is designed with calm as the centerpiece of its features. The clock’s numerical digital display is intentionally modest (though my nearsighted eyes would benefit from the option to increase the display size).
A warm and adjustable night light situated at the bottom of the Loftie can also be set to turn on/off in parallel with your sleep and wake cycles. While an app can be assigned to control the clocks settings, no phone is required to access options with the clock’s physical layout of three buttons. Whether by clock or app, users are offered an assortment relaxing aural cues to choose from...
