Creepy Nightlights for Christmas

Brian Yalung — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 16:38:47 +0000

They may not necessarily be the cutest nightlights you may want for Christmas but if you loved the Nightmare before Christmas movie, then these nightlights should be sane enough for you. For people who love to get up in the middle of the night to grab a snack or just to go to the bathroom, the Nightmare Before Christmas Nightlights should be the perfect aid for you.

The nightlight features no less than Jack Skellington, a simple plug-in nightlight that should offer a different kind of addition to your home. While it does show Jack with a smile, kids who may not be too familiar with it may not approve of it, unless perhaps it is Halloween or something.

Regardless, it could be a great nightlight to have in rooms, or alternatively a neat gift to hand out too. At least people don’t have to worry about stumbling or tripping each time they get up from sleep in the wee hours of the morning.

There are kids and maybe even some grownups who will have many uses for a nightlight.

For the people who want to sleep and not leave the lights on, here is a cool creation from Vanessa Hordies. It is a lamp that comes with an integrated hour glass which acts as the timer. The hourglass runs when you turn it over, carrying a 15 minute timer that is activated as the sound slowly trickles down.

This should be a great nightlight to have in the room, something that will automatically turn off when the timer is up. Designers built it around the notion that the average person takes between 10 and 20 minutes to fall asleep.

Why you should Sleep with the Lights Off

Brian Yalung — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:53:20 +0000

There are people who are afraid of the dark. Many of us restrict them to the kids today, seemingly afraid of fabled stories that include monsters being around once the lights are out. Of course, we all know that this is a sleep myth to get them to go to bed without any complaints.

However, lights provide a hindrance for people who want to sleep better. The rays and the lights that we usually have to deal with once our eyes are shut are distractions. Now for some people who need light to be able to see things when they have to get up at times, a nightlight will often be around and available.

Sleeping better can be done with the lights off. Dim or dark as much as possible is the best way to get a good night’s sleep. For people who need light at night, well, make it as low as possible. You just cannot deal with a small glimpse of light that may eventually become a distraction and a cause for you not to sleep properly.
