Whether you're studying for a new career or have an exceptionally long day ahead, getting a good night's sleep is imperative to your mental and physical health. And if you're laying down your head next to a nightstand cluttered with your phone, pictures, and other junk, you could be setting yourself up for failure without even realizing it.
While you may have a preference as to what types of mattresses and bedding are best, everyone can agree that a clean, clutter-free bedroom is greatly appreciated, and that's precisely why you should consider the Tree of Light. This nightstand accessory consists of three different gadgets in one, helping you keep your sleep space tidy and your mind in great shape before and after bed. It's on sale for just $129.95 during our Back to Education promotion.
For one, just looking at this thing is reason enough to put it on your night table. Practically a work of art, this tree-shaped sculpture features a thin, cherry wood shade that emits a soft glow of LED lights. And with a simple touch of its base, you can easily adjust its brightness to fit your needs. It even has a sleep mode that programs the light to turn off automatically after 20 minutes.
This unique lamp also boasts a wireless charger, perfect for feeding your phone's battery as you snooze. Simply place your Qi-enabled device on the lamp's base and forget about it — no awkward Lightning cables required! Plus, the light also features a built-in wireless neodymium speaker that can pair with your device via Bluetooth, allowing you to listen to your favorite tunes or podcasts as you chill in bed, do things around the house, and more.
Boasting high ratings online, including 4.8 out of 5 stars on G for Gadget, the Tree of Light wireless charger lamp is sure to upgrade your sleeping situation and keep your brain sharp as ever.
Get the multifunctional Tree of Light for just $129.95 during our Back to Education event, which ends August 24. Additionally, $0.50 of your purchase will be donated to a school or organization you vote for. You'll get an email after purchasing to choose the org you want us to send your contribution to, and we'll announce the winner after the event ends!
