Coronasomnia. If you’ve never heard of it, good for you. But if you’re one of the 51% of frustrated Singaporeans who are battling it, you’ll know just how frustrating it can be, especially when it now feels like your bedroom – your once hallowed sanctuary of rest – has become a place you dread to be in.
Some of the reasons that we are losing sleep during this pandemic are an overwhelming sense of anxiety and fear over all that is happening around us, and a blurring of lines in the home since working from home became part of our daily lives. How many times have you had to reply to an email late at night while in bed? And have you started working from bed too, further blurring the lines between your work and rest space?
Reclaiming your sleep haven isn’t difficult though; one of the ways to start is by getting a new night light that will make the room so irresistibly cosy that you can’t help falling asleep. Ahead, AVENUE ONE has found 15 night lamps that’ll help make you drift away into sweet, sweet slumber, thanks to the use of low lumens that create a warm cocooning glow.
Some of these are so reminiscent of lands far away, like other galaxies and misty forests that you’ll find yourself mesmerised by how your room has been transformed, just watt and see!
