I love sleeping.
Before the arrival of my daughter I was an epic napper – two hours was a short nap! I was also a bouncy, bright (possibly annoying!) morning person!
But these days my sleeping pattern is atrocious. And I cannot really blame it on the kiddo – six years after she clonked my napping habit, I should be able have this sleep thing under control.
In an effort to achieve perfect efficiency I tossed my bedside alarm clock and began using my cell phone as my alarm clock.
Efficiency – – not exactly.
I may get in to bed at 10pm but 45 minutes later I am still checking and responding to email, checking Twitter, Instagram, and playing one last game of Shanghai Tiles.
Waking up in the morning is the same routine – minus the Shanghai Tiles.
No bueno.
So I am revamping my efficiency plan.
Let’s go shopping for a bedside alarm clock that makes sleep just as wonderful as I remember!
I love the combination of the slowly illuminating light and the subtle 1940’s accents.
Moon Beam Alarm Clock in Pale Green – LL Bean $49.95
First, it was originally designed by the French. Second, who can resist this description in the RH catalogue/website – “This trusty timepiece was originally mounted to the cockpit dashboard of a circa-1950s French military aircraft and needed winding only once a week (hence, 8-Jours – the Eight-Day clock). Our replica is faithfully reproduced, including luminous hands and markers, three mounting screws and a large knob for winding (originally sized for greater ease to pilots wearing gloves).”
1950s French Flight Deck 8-Day Clock – Restoration Hardware $69
It is sleek. It is modern. It is the clapper timepiece! Seriously. Need this.
Kikkerland Clap-On Cube Alarm Clock in Dark Wood – Amazon $12.99
This zen beauty has a gradually-increasing chime progression sequence to wake you up. Om.
Digital Zen Alarm Clock – Now & Zen $119.95
And then again….
Why change your habit when you can perfect it!!!!!
Holy toledo Batman! These four dials will display what you need to wake up – alarms, weather, number of new emails, number of new tweets, traffic, etc. and syncs to your smart phone! All the joy of having my smart phone without the time-sucking quality!
OMG this was so much fun!! Me thinks you should have the Moonbeam for your guests and the Nimbus for your bedside.
🙂 Lovely blog.
