Ever asked yourself, "What's the point of life?" Me too, especially when I'm trying to sleep, and my smartphone seems more lively than a hyperactive squirrel on a caffeine drip. The makers of these pocket lightboxes have decided they can help us snooze better. How sweet, right?
Set a Schedule
Docs say control your munchies before bed and wake up like clockwork. Easy! Except, who really listens? My phone, forever in a rebellious teenage phase, now offers to babysit my sleep. It whispers, "Let me manage your sleep." But deep inside, where my thoughts swirl with the darkness of existential dread, I know—it's just trying to spend more night time with me, probably plotting while I dream.
Oh, and the sleep schedules? Genius move! You can tell your device when you'd ideally like to drift off or stare blankly at the ceiling. The phone nods in earnest, only to ping you with another notification. "Hey, look, your friend's cat did something mildly amusing!"
In the end, as I ponder my solitude and the eventual silence of non-existence, I chuckle at the thought of dying alone—me and my phone, out of battery, tucked in forever. Isn't modern technology grand?
