I’m the sort of person who thinks the final hours of any day are for gaming, which means I go to bed wired and struggle to sleep. I could just stop playing games, but that sounds no fun at all, does it? Instead I’ve invested in a Withings Aura, which uses warm light and soothing sound to beckon the Sandman. It also wakes you gently with a simulated sunrise and audio when you’re sleeping the lightest, and gives you a very thorough breakdown of your night’s sleep. (You can get the clock/light without the sleep sensor for £100 less.) It’s definitely helped me… and is only let down by an absolutely dreadful built-in speaker that makes lapping waves sound like traffic noise. £250 / withings.com
