-

Withings Aura Connected Alarm Clock

This sleek device has a hollow bowl filled with light – red at night, blue in the morning – that dims and brightens to help you sleep. The base measures your room’s ambient light, temperatur­e and sound, and gives insight on what disrupts your slumbers.

£149.95, withings.com

MOOD LIGHTING

Philips Hue White Ambiance Starter Kit

These bulbs can be used in any light fitting and set to 50,000 shades of white light, transition­ing from vibrant daylight to a softer yellow glow that puts you at peace in the evening. A wireless light switch and bridge let you schedule the lights to suit your hours.

£99.95 (extra bulbs £25), johnlewis.com

SHAKE AND WAKE

Fitbit Charge 2

An activity monitor that can also log your runs, the Charge 2 has an automatic sleep tracker and vibrating alarm, so you won’t disturb your bed partner when you sneak out for those early miles.

£139.99, fitbit.com

DIGITAL SHEEP COUNTER

2breathe Sleep Inducer

This has a small sensor on a strap around your abdomen to measure and control your breathing pattern. The connected app acts like an adaptive metronome for your breaths, slowing slightly with each cycle to aid sleep.

$180 (£145), 2breathe.com (US site ships to UK)

UNOBTRUSIV­E TRACKER

Hello Sense with Voice

The Sense uses a small chip clipped to your pillow to track how you toss and turn. As you prepare for sleep, you can speak to it as you would to Amazon’s Echo and tell it to set an alarm, play white noise or check the room temperatur­e.

£149, store.hello.is
