As a full-time student, early mornings are (unfortunately) my reality. With early morning classes, it is not rare for me to set alarms that have me up at the top of the morning.
Sometimes, though, things get tough. From having stayed up the entire last night cramming for a test, going out with friends, or having to wake up earlier than usual to get some time in at the gym, the early morning wake-up calls become a necessity rather than a choice.
As someone who is a deep sleeper and struggled to even hear any of my phone’s alarm sounds, such early morning wake-ups were a total nightmare.
I would never hear my alarms, and even if I did hear them, my entire body would go into panic mode. The sound of an alarm ringtone will send me into a flight or fight mode if I even hear the first few beginning rings of it.
I was starting my mornings in a stressed, panicked mode, and I knew things needed to change. So, I started to look around for a better alternative, which is when I met Loftie.

Why Loftie?
Loftie is built around the concept of being on our phones less. After all, in this digital age, we are spending our time on our phones more than ever. As Loftie says, “This might not seem like such a cause for… alarm, but between blue light, endless scrolling, and more, your smartphone is ruining your sleep.”
The quality of your sleep may not seem like the most pressing problem in the world, but when it comes to wellness and leading your best life, it is truly something worth investing in. As Loftie shares:
"Getting good sleep is one of the most important things we can do to increase our overall wellness—bad sleep is closely tied to diabetes, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, stroke, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. 1 out of 2 people in the developed world will not get the sleep they need this week, and this massive global sleep deficit results in lost wealth, lost health, and lost lives.With Loftie, they are using tech for good, not against our health."
No Joke, My Days Are Better
Ever since I’ve been syncing my body’s natural sleep cycles with Loftie’s alarm clocks, I have genuinely woke up each day feeling refreshed and much calmer.
I rarely wake up feeling panicked, and that’s all because of Loftie’s two-phase alarm system and the custom melodic tones that gently wake me up by working together with my brain and body.
Phase 1: Wake Up
The first phase of the alarm pulls me out of my sleep with soft sounds that automatically fade out after 30 seconds. The tones are soft and gentle, and don’t trigger an aggressive response.
Phase 2: Get Up
After 9 minutes, the Loftie clock will play a continuous melodic sound, fully allowing me the time to slowly wake up in time and feel completely ready to be up.
Meet the Loftie Clock
Out of all the products and bundles Loftie offers, if anything is a total must, it has to be the Loftie Clock.
I genuinely wasn’t sure if this alarm clock would work on me. I had tried basically every sound on my phone’s alarm clock and I wasn’t hearing those, so I wasn’t sure if I would even be able to get up to Loftie if the sounds were more “natural” and “soft”--- but boy, was I wrong.
Designed with doctors. Built by engineers.
Every single element - inside and out - has been chosen and tweaked to support sleep. From custom-machined architecture to produce the cleanest sounds, to the mini-but-mighty processor, there's almost nothing we can't make happen.

The two-phase alarm has genuinely been a lifesaver. I truly feel refreshed when waking up in the morning, and it doesn’t feel like a forced wake-up.
I also love all of the features that the Loftie clock comes with. My favorite is the endless sleep sounds, meditations, white noise, sound baths, personalized sleep stories, and so much more than the clock offers. It is so relaxing to have the clock playing in the background, and it truly puts me at ease when I need it.
With the nightlight, I don’t feel awakened by the harsh white light, but the warm glow keeps me feeling at ease and ready for some rest. Plus, it comes with a red mode, if you prefer the red clockface color for a cooler vibe, and also a form of light that won’t completely kick you into awake mode.
I also love the fact that you don’t need a membership to use the Loftie Clock. With so many items running on subscription-based models, I really appreciate that the clock works perfectly on its own with preloaded audio tracks that are the basic foundation of anything that you would ever need.
I truly think that for the amount of stress it has saved me (and the times it has actually woken me up before I was actually late for something), the Loftie Clock couldn't be a better investment for well-being.
