The end of July through the middle of August is one of the best time periods of the year for laptop deals. Students of all ages are getting ready to go back to school, and this is the time when retailers try their best to cater to their needs.
Outlets like Staples, B&H, and Best Buy have online and in-store back-to-school deals, while Amazon as well as individual manufacturers such as HP and Lenovo have discounts on their websites.
Apple also jumps into the fray during this time of year, usually offering to throw in a free pair of headphones or Airpods with a qualifying student purchase. However, Apple does not tend to lower their already-discounted student pricing, instead opting to entice buyers with their extra offerings.
As a sleep researcher who knows the importance of good quality sleep, I always look into the science and benefits behind the products I test out and review. I like to obtain reliable information from experts in addition to conducting extensive research. While writing our guide for the best sunrise alarm clocks, I discovered the Casper Glow Lights: a unique set of lights that are portable, attractive, and can also help you improve your sleep quality.
Research studies have shown that exposure to blue light (found in some household light bulbs and most electronic devices) later in the evening can restrict the natural production of melatonin and negatively affect circadian rhythms, the flow of hormones that tell us when to go to sleep and wake up. If you wake up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water or run to the bathroom, you ll often have to turn the lights on, which can significantly disturb your slumber and the ability to fall back to sleep.

Pros: Inexpensive, clear case option, thin and compact
Cons: Can get dirty easier, does not have a MagSafe magnet, does not offer the most advanced drop protection
If you want a high-quality case but don t want to spend a lot of money, one of the best cases you can get is Spigen s Ultra Hybrid. The Ultra Hybrid is one of the company s cheaper cases, and if you are a fan of clear cases like me, you will love the Ultra Hybrid. The clear case lets you enjoy the raw design of your iPhone while still affording protection. It is a thin and minimalist case that will keep your phone compact, and will support all forms of wireless charging. While it ll let your iPhone 12 charge with a MagSafe charger, the magnetic connection is weak.
Keeping in mind that Samsung s Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, and Galaxy S21 Ultra have a peak charging speed of 25W, we tested a variety of chargers including Samsung s own 25W charger and some third-party chargers from reputable accessory makers that claim at least 25W charging speed or more.
How we tested chargers for the Galaxy S21 phones
To test the charging speeds for the Galaxy S21 series, we used the standard Galaxy S21 as our test unit.
Before plugging in a charger, we drained the Galaxy S21 to the point that it no longer turns on. Once drained, we plugged in a charger and kept the phone off to prevent as many variables as possible. At the moment we plugged the Galaxy S21 into the charger, we started a timer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes had passed, we unplugged the phone, which showed us the battery charge percentage for a 15-minute charge, and recorded it. We then plugged the charger back into the Galaxy S21, and set another timer for 15 minutes, and repeat
