Smart home bedroom
Creating a smart home bedroom is an essential part of your overall automation setup. After all, it’s the place where you wind down, get a good night’s sleep and wake up each morning. The simplest things can affect your mood at the beginning and end of each day, so getting the best possible rest and enjoying a serene environment is important. Here are our tips for creating the perfect smart bedroom.
- Optimise your lighting
Smart lighting is key to helping your body prepare for sleep and get up on time. With lighting automation you can create a schedule that works for you, enjoying dimmer, warmer lighting just before bed and brighter, cooler light when you wake up. If you like to wake up gently, why not set your lights to imitate sunrise, fading up and changing from warm hues to cool tones? A Lutron specialist can help you program these settings so that you always start the day feeling refreshed and end it feeling relaxed.
- Make the most of natural light
Electric lighting is particularly important in winter, when daylight hours are shorter, but in the summer you’ll want to make the most of the available natural light. With smart blinds, you can do just that, setting them to lower as you’re winding down for sleep and raise when you typically wake up. Not only will this help you to save energy, it will ensure your body clock aligns with the day/night cycle. If your job has shifts, you can raise or lower your blinds with a voice command whenever you need to sleep, enabling you to create the right environment for your rest.
- Enjoy an uninterrupted night
Smart beds are a great solution for those who sleep with a partner who snores. These are fitted with motion detectors that can sense the vibrations from snoring and automatically raise your partner’s head by 12 degrees so that they stop. There are even smart beds that enable you to adjust the position of your mattress for the greatest comfort, as well as offering a relaxing massage to help you de-stress before sleep. For those who want to monitor their sleep more closely, your bed can record your movements, heart rate and other data, helping you to make adjustments that will improve your rest.
- Set the ideal temperature
We’ve all experienced the discomfort of a bedroom that’s too hot. With a smart thermostat, you can ensure your bedroom is always at the perfect temperature before you sleep, meaning you can drift off quicker and are less likely to wake in the night. Smart heating and ventilation can warm or cool the room before you go to bed and activate heating, air conditioning or fans during the night to ensure you remain comfortable.
