The Dreamie smart alarm clock freed me from smartphone addiction
I accomplished what seemed impossible: I learned to spend the night in bed without a smartphone and sleep peacefully. I don't know if I could have managed this heroic task without the Dreamie smart alarm clock. Like many, I was so addicted to my phone that I felt almost like a cyborg. Even though I knew that using a phone in bed negatively affects sleep quality, and consequently mental and physical health, I slept with a "glowing rectangle" by my side every night for over a decade. This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports.
What sets the Dreamie device apart from all other modern alarm clocks is very simple yet effective: it can play podcasts. The device works in several modes. The "Wind down" mode signals that it is time to sleep. I have set it to the sound of a fireplace and a soft orange light reminiscent of a flame. After reading a book for about 25 minutes, the device switches to "noise mask" mode and helps me fall asleep with the sound of thunder.
The best feature of the device is the "Back to sleep" mode. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you can turn on this mode. It plays breathing exercises, nature sounds, or any podcast you have pre-selected. Most importantly, you won't be scrolling through your phone at night, getting lost in interfaces, and completely ruining your sleep. Dreamie also supports Bluetooth headphones, which allows you not to disturb those around you.
Dreamie connects to Wi-Fi and can download any podcast from the internet. This is made possible by RSS technology. At a time when platforms like Spotify are trying to create their own closed systems, RSS remains one of the last monuments of the open internet. Dreamie uses this very technology to give the user freedom and save them from staring at a smartphone screen.
