Ditch your clunky, dual monitor setup and switch to a monitor with a wide-angle view and a smaller desk footprint. With an aspect ratio of 21:9 — a typical monitor is 16:9 — the Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved USB-C Monitor creates a panoramic experience to give you a better field of vision and reduce eye movement, allowing you to focus and work comfortably for longer periods of time. Improve your overall workflow and tackle multiple projects by connecting two computers and viewing their content simultaneously. $840, dell.com.

Light sleepers

Light sleepers

A better morning begins at night. At bedtime, the Philips Sleep and Wake-Up Light simulates a sunset, gradually getting darker to prep your body for sleep. Need a little extra help to decompress? Use the integrated light-guided breathing exercises to take your mind off everything running through your head. Come morning, the lamp’s light intensifies slowly, like a sunrise, to gently wake you up. Features include 25 brightness adjustment settings and three relaxation sounds. $180, usa.philips.com.

The ability to fall asleep relaxed so you can wake up well rested is easier said than done for some. True insomniacs can try a form of light therapy that has been integrated into sleep masks. The Sound Oasis GTS-2000 Deluxe Sleep Therapy Mask is a soft, foam eye mask that uses blue lights to calm your mind and encourage deep, regenerative sleep. To activate the mask, hold it six inches away from a light source for up to 30 seconds. Then, place the mask over your eyes and stare at the soft lighting inside while blinking normally (the sockets are molded for comfort) and taking slow, deep breaths. Although the timing may differ for everyone, what follows is a more relaxed state that leads to restful sleep. $40, soundoasis.com.

Time to relax

Time to relax

Stress looks different on everyone. In fact, some people have a difficult time recognizing when they are stressed until they reach their burnout point. The Pip is a personal stress-management tool that fits between your thumb and index finger and checks your stress levels through the pores in your skin. The tiny device works by noting subtle variations in your electrodermal activity, which measures changes in your sweat glands and skin resistance. Pip’s HIPAA-compliant cloud-based app tracks your results and offers guidance on how to both recognize your stress and effectively manage it. $179, thepip.com.
