In a world where screens dominate our evenings, Tala Lighting and Heatherwick Studio have joined forces to restore peace to your bedtime ritual with the WAKE Sleep Light— a science-backed, design-forward sleep solution that replaces the glare of your phone with the glow of natural light. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, WAKE transforms your bedside routine through light, sound, and tactile interaction, helping users reset their sleep cycles and reconnect with rest.

WAKE’s design goes beyond aesthetics. It’s grounded in circadian science, simulating the gradual transitions of dawn and dusk to promote better melatonin production and smoother awakenings. With sunrise-inspired brightness shifts and customizable soundscapes — from rainforest ambience to soft alphorn tones — WAKE turns waking and sleeping into restorative experiences. A simple rotating dial controls both light and sound, while the Tala app allows users to create personalized routines and integrate seamlessly with smart home systems.

Unlike harsh alarms or blue-light-emitting screens, WAKE uses biologically effective lighting to promote natural sleep rhythms. Its accompanying Sleep Protocol encourages small but impactful habits, such as maintaining consistent sleep times, reducing phone use before bed, and introducing low-light reading before rest.

At $295, the WAKE Sleep Light is part lamp, part wellness tool, and part quiet rebellion against the chaos of digital life. Because true luxury might just be a better night’s sleep.
