Not very high tech, but I love it: a projector clock (an alarm clock that can project the time on a ceiling or wall).
Not having to turn over to see the time is extremely nice when I’m cozy in bed. I didn’t even ask for it - it was given to me as a gift. If you get one, be sure that the angle and orientation are highly adjustable.
I have a “No clocks in the bedroom” rule. As a person who has struggled with falling asleep, having a bright glowing display constantly reminding me how tired I’m going to be in the morning just gave me more anxiety and made it even more difficult to fall asleep.
I still have my watch and my phone, but those are things I need to purposely move to look at.
Yeah. I think there are two schools out there, us anxious types that have to have the room pitch black without light source anywhere or we feel like a laser is drilling into our brain, and then normal people.
I use my phone or watch as my clock or alarm but I have a rule to not look at the time if I wake up early. If I’m not wide awake I go back to sleep until my alarm goes off. It’s bliss even if it’s only for 15 more minutes since I wouldn’t know how long I’ve been out again.

A projector clock sounds like hell to me.
Interesting take. I wish you the best.
