Upgrade your evening routine

Integrating the devices, services, and apps in your life can make your evening routine seamless, relaxing, and help you get a better night of sleep. Automations can also get your day off to a great start by optimizing your morning routine (you can read more about that here).

Get ready for the next day

Many successful people believe that your day truly begins the night before. By taking a few moments to set yourself up for a great morning, you can eliminate possible stressors and create a positive start to your day. Get a weather alert the night before so you know what shoes to wear or what jacket to wear. Additionally, you can set up the coffee that will start automatically in the morning using your button pressors or smart kettle.

Unplug, unwind

Get a notification that reminds you to start to unwind, automatically turn your phone to silent, or create other reminders to start your evening routine. These are simple but efficient ways to help you wind down at the end of the day. You could set a calendar event that acts as a dedicated time to read or get some good news delivered to your inbox in the evening.

Set the scene

Use the button widget or your voice assistant to turn your home into a perfectly relaxing environment. Set your ideal temperature, light settings, and ensure your home is secured. You can monitor everything from your favorite chair or without getting out of your cozy bed as you wind down.

Improve your sleep

Sleep technology can help you improve your rest each night with data insights that allow you to understand your sleep patterns and habits. Improve your sleep hygiene by going to bed at the same time each night and learning from the analysis of your sleep each night. You can even begin different smart home automations that are triggered based on your sleep each night.
