10 ways to get cosy on a cold winter’s day

Laugh in the frosty face of winter by turning your home into a snug sanctuary.

1. Start the day bright eyed and bushy tailed

Say goodbye to the morning grumps with a so-called “morning light simulator”. It gradually lights up your bedroom around 20–40 minutes before the alarm rings, simulating a natural sunrise – from the soft reds of dawn to the warm oranges and bright yellows of a new day. Rise and shine!

2. Get into the early morning groove

Stimulate your circulation first thing with alternating hot and cold showers. This will melt even the most hardened winter haters and strengthen the immune system. Try out a jungle shower or a light shower with seven different colours to suit your mood.
