So I think if you're a frequent flyer or a heavy screen user or you suffer maybe from tension headaches after work, that kind of thing, really nice way to decompress.
This is just a really cool little thing that caught my eye.
I saw this at a show recently, and it's a really nice smart bedside lamp and sound machine.
And it uses a very gentle simulated sunrise alarm.

So people are talking, you know, about kind of hacking their circadian rhythm.
It's become a big trend.
And so the Restore 2 does this by just filling your bedroom with light that mimics the rising sun, triggering your brain to wake up naturally.
And then you have at nighttime, you have this lovely kind of white noise machine and dimmable reading light to help you with a kind of a wind down routine before you nod off.

And the idea is that it delivers instant targeted cooling or warm pulses to your inner wrist that they say will help regulate body temperature, soothe anxiety or manage hot flushes.
That's probably half of their market, I think, is probably where they're going.
And it was developed by MIT scientists, and it works as this very kind of highly calibrated thermal sensations that address the nerve endings in your wrist.
