Dark December mornings are easier with the Loftie Lamp, which slowly brightens like a sunrise to wake you up gently. It has day, reading, and night modes, and it pairs with the Loftie Clock. It won Best Sleep Lamp in our 2026 Best of Year sleep awards, and our editor has been using it as the mornings get darker. It's fun to play around with, too.
